**infertile egg has bumpy shaped wall

<ol>
<li>ingested embryonated eggs hatch in duodenum
<li>larvae penetrate duodenum wall and enter circulation
<li>migrate to lungs via circulation
*Löeffler syndrome may occur
<li>migrate trachea to esophagus
<li>reach intestine and differentiate males and females

<li>eggs excreted by defecation
|detection=egg microscopy of feces
|onward transmission=ingestion of embryonated eggs 6-8 weeks after defacation
