Bearing, producing, or containing cysts; characterized by the presence of cyst-like structures.
From Latin cystis (cyst) combined with -gerous (bearing or producing, from gerere to carry). This term is used in medical and biological contexts to describe organisms or tissues that produce or contain cysts.
Parasites like tapeworms are highly cystigerous—they package themselves into cysts to survive rough journeys through digestive systems and stay alive for years in muscle tissue—which is why 'cystigerous' is a term you'll see in medical textbooks about dangerous infections.
