* Infected mosquito bite introduces the third level larva onto the skin and then enters to the blood through the wound. | |||
* The larvae reside in the lymphatic vessels and mature to adult worms. | |||
* Adult worm produce sheathed microfiliae that migrate to lymph and blood. | |||
* Another mosquito ingests the microfiliae. | |||
* Microfiliae grow up inside the mosquito till third stage larvae. | |||
* In another bite to a host skin the mosquito introduces the larvae onto the skin. | |||
