Development Eggs produced LifeLife CycleCycle ► All filariform larvae can swim ► Generally strongyloides has a lower prevalence than hookworm ► Strongyloides L3 filariform larvae are not infectious by the oral route except for S fuellobourni ► Adults are more commonly affected than children ► The infection usually occurs through exposure to infected soil ► Transmission by breast milk has been demonstrated in animals and is likely in man ► Prepatent period – 4 weeks ► Patent period - 30 + years ClinicalClinical PresentationPresentation ►►HalfHalf ofof thethe casescases areare mildlymildly
