| Filarioidea |
a superfamily or order of nematode parasites, the adults being threadlike worms that invade the tissues and body cavities where the female deposits embryonated eggs (prelarvae) known as microfilariae. These microfilariae are ingested by blood-sucking insects in whom they pass their developmental stage and are returned to humans by the bites of such insects. Genera infecting humans include Brugia, Loa, Mansonella, Onchocerca, and Wuchereria. Those infecting domestic animals include Dirofilaria, Parafilaria, Setaria, and Stephanofilaria.
