Life cycle (summary) 1. Humanity is the only known definitive host for W. bancrofti while there is still another variety of B. malayi that infects monkeys and felines. 2. Infective stage: filariform larva(L3); 3. Infective route: by skin 4. Site of inhabitation: lymphatic tissue 5. The female produce larvae- microfilariae 6. Microfilariae of both species show “nocturnal periodicity
Clinical manifestation1.Acutestage:filarial fever; lymphangitis ; lymphadenitis;orchitis and inflammation of spermatic cord.2. Chronic stage: (obstructive filariasis)(1)Elephantiasis;(2) Chyluria only caused by W.bancrofti.(3) Hydrocele is only found in infection of W.bancrofti.First choice drug is diethylcarbamazine （ DECHetrazan)

LifeCycle Stages The stages of parasitic protozoa that actively feedand multiply are frequently called trophozoites; insome protozoa, other terms are used for thesestages.Cysts are stages with a protective membrane orthickened wall
Life Cycle Stages • The stages of parasitic protozoa that actively feed and multiply are frequently called trophozoites; in some protozoa, other terms are used for these stages. • Cysts are stages with a protective membrane or thickened wall
