Q

What is the life cycle of Strongyloides spp?

A

Alternate homogonic and heterogonic phases

Heterogonic- in good environmental conditions the L1 to Adult (male and female)

Homogonic- L3 infect host in bad environmental conditions. Only develop into females. She don’t need no man in her life.

Migrate to lungs, coughed up, swallowed, adult females in small intestine

Q

What is the site of infection of Trichinella spp?

A

Adult-small intestine

Larvae- muscles

34
Q

A

Oxyuris equi

42
Q

What is the life cycle of Oxyuris equi?

A

Adults in dorsal colon.
