Life cycle of Strongyloides stercoralis. 1, Filariform larvae (450 nm) penetrate human skin. 2, Larvae migrate to the lungs, trachea, and pharynx, and are swallowed. 3, Parthenogenetic adult females (2 mm) penetrate the small-bowel mucosa and release eggs. 4, Rabdiform larvae (250 nm) mature into autoinfective filariform larvae, and enter the circulation. 5, Rabdiform larvae are shed in stools. 6, Free-living 1-mm male and female adults develop in the soil. 7, Sexual reproduction in the soil (indirect development). 8, Filariform larvae develop in the soil—infective for humans (direct development).
