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

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.
