Tracheal route of migration vs Somatic route of migration
The tracheal route of migration is when parasitic larvae migrate through the trachea, while the somatic route of migration is when larvae migrate to other tissues in the body
“balling up” cause obstruction

What makes control of Strongyloides spp.
difficult?
- Non-parasitic generation readily persist and reproduce
outside the host - parthenogenetic production of eggs
- ability to infect per cutis, per os, via milk
