1869 A. Petermann tr. Schrott in Dental Cosmos 11 20 From my own mouth I have seen the bursting of such slime-balls [Ger. Schleimkugeln] under the microscope, and the contents run out, full of living bodies, which divide with great rapidity in all directions in the surrounding fluid.

1904 Contrib. Bot. Lab. Univ. Pennsylvania 2 258 He now considered that there were two forms of granules [in the cells of Cyanophyceae], the cyanophycin granules of Hieronymus, and the slime balls [Ger. Schleimkugeln] of Palla.

1963 W. B. Cooke Lab. Guide Fungi Polluted Waters 45 Cephalosporium:..hyphae mostly hyaline, bearing branches that may be one or two cells long, at the tip of which are produced spores in series in slime balls.

1998 Mycologia 90 746/2 Slime balls that unite to form large macroscopically visible droplets.

2001 Life Sci. (Holt Sci. & Technol. Ser.) 267/2 When scientists decided to analyze these slime balls [sc. mucous growths on the roof of caves], they discovered that the formations are home to billions of microscopic organisms!

b. spec. A rounded mass of mucus containing the cercariae of a trematode (liver fluke), secreted by an infected land snail and ingested by the next intermediate host, typically an ant.This type of life cycle is found in certain members of the digenean family Dicrocoeliidae whose primary host is a bird or herbivorous mammal.

1940 A. C. Chandler Introd. Parasitol. (ed. 6) xii. 271 The developed cercariæ invade the respiratory chamber of the snail, where several hundreds may be enclosed in a slimy cyst. Several such cysts may be rolled together into a ‘slime ball’.

1986 O. W. Olsen Animal Parasites (rev. ed.) iii. 286/2 Slimeballs expelled by the snails accumulate in grape-like clusters, adhering to the mollusks as they crawl about.

2001 Sci. World 12 Feb. 9/1 A slime ball teeming with hundreds of baby lancet flukes.

2004 Amer. Biol. Teacher 66 46/2 Slimeballs are dietary items for ants, and on eating them or feeding them to their larvae, the ants become the second hosts, infected with the cercariae, which encyst and become infective to the final host—the herbivore.
