- ヒト体内でadultから生まれたmicrofilariaは吸血で蚊に移行し，蚊の体内で3回moltを繰り返してL3 larvaeに至る．
- L3は1.7mmまで体長を増し，吸血によって蚊の体外に放出され，蚊が生じた穿刺口等から皮内に侵入する
- 1.7mmもの体長のlarvaeがどうやって体長10mmに満たない蚊の体内で共存できるのか？
- Onchocerciasisのヒト体内の病態生理はmicrofilariaによるが，lymphatic filariasisはadultによる．
- Lymphatic filariasisでリンパ浮腫を生じている患者の下肢をエコーで観察すると，拡張したリンパ管内で蠢くadult filariaを観察できる．

- L3 invade through cleavage on skin
- L3 migrate to lymphatics
- develop to adult
- female 43-55 mm, male 13-23 mm
- obstruct lymphatics resulted in elephantiasis and hydrocele in years
