  • Rhabditiform larva (L1) may proceed to direct, indirect, or autoinfection route
  • direct = rhabditiform larva in stool then mature into L3 then be infective
  • indirect = rhabditiform larva in stool then mature into nonparasitic then produce eggs that will develop into rhabditiform that’ll become infective
  • autoinfection = rhabditiform develop into filariform inside then autoinfect

capable of heart-lung migration
