| Strongyloides stercoralis |
|
Strongyloides first-stage rhabditiform larvae (visible in all figures on this page) are 180-380 mm long by 14-20 mm wide. They have a short buccal cavity, a prominent genital primordium (visible at right) and a pointed tail. |
 |
| One problem with detecting Strongyloides is the fact that the number of larvae may be very scant and many infections go undiagnosed. | ||
