Trophic transmission occurs when the encysted larval form of a parasite are transmitted to the final host during the consumption of the intermediate host. They then mature in the final host.
In simple terms - the young of the parasite live in the gut of a prey animal. That prey animal is then consumed by a predator. If it is the correct predator (trophically transmitted parasites can be species-specific) then the parasite will mature and reproduce in the gut of the predator.

How are trophic level efficiency measured?
Trophic level efficiency is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. This is done by analyzing the ratio of energy present in the biomass of one trophic level compared to the trophic level below it. The efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is usually around 10%, meaning that only around 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
