q:parasites rule the world - calmer

[ArchivalUser]

as part of active world travel, parasitic infestations are far from exotic in the US today. A pulmonary phase is part of the development of all the following except

a. Necator Americanus
b. Strongyloides Stercoralis
c. Ascaris Lumbricoides
d. Wuchereria Bancrofti
e. Toxacara

[ArchivalUser]

B-Strongyloids?

[ArchivalUser]

is it D???

[ArchivalUser]

c, ascaris is coughed up into the lungs

[ArchivalUser]

its D

[ArchivalUser]

I agree with Remiadenuga, it is C) Ascaris lumbricoides

[ArchivalUser]

As for Ascaris Lumbricoides the larvae mature in the lungs penetrate the alveolar walls, ascend the bronchial tree to the throat, and are swallowed.

But....Wuchereria Bancrofti...it does migrate to thoracic muscles but not to the lung...correct me if I am wrong.

[ArchivalUser]

D IS RIGHT....WUCHERIA BANCROFTI

PLEASE GUYS READ THE QUESTION PROPERLY...I THINK U GOT CONFUSED BECOZ ANSWER IS ASKING FOR: EXCEPT....

[ArchivalUser]
