102
Q

Clinical finding for Ancylostoma duodenale and what does it lead to?

A

loss of blood at the site of attachment in the small intestine will lead to microcytic anemia.

103
Q

Lab Diagnosis for Ancylostoma duodenale

A
107
Q

Mode of infection for Wuchereria and what does it deposit

A

Humans are infected when the female mosquito deposits infective larvae on the skin while biting

108
Q

Clinical Findings Wuchereria what does it cause and obstruct? and whats an other name for the cause?
