The worm capable to causes the autoinfection and reproduction within the host . larva found in the stool from intestine , adult worm free livening .

The infective stage is the filarifom larva , the worm penetrate the skin to make infection and the filarifom enter the in the blood and transfer to lung then (alveoli …show more content…
when the larva move to lung the patient developing the dry cough and tracheal irritation . after that larva move to gastrointestinal and causes the abdominal pain, , constipation and diarrhea .
