Hi folks!

What does autoinfection (by t.soleum or strongyloides in Qbank where I saw this) mean?

Thank you.

means...that you become not only definitive host, but also transient. Yo forget to wash hands after bathroom, and injest what you have been potting out. Can also mean that one will regurgitate the parasite, and inhale it to its predeliction site, or vise versa, cough up the stuff and swallow it to grow in the GI tract, from where it will burrow through intestine to blood and back to lungs.
