Ordering Question
Click and drag on elements in order.
Place the steps of a human filarial worm life cycle in order, beginning with the production of microfilariae.
An infected mosquito feeds off a human, and infective microfilariae penetrate the bite wound.
A mosquito ingests microfilariae while feeding on an infected human.
Microfilariae develop to the infective stage within the mosquito.
Female worms release microfilariae into the blood and lymph of the host.

Answer

Correct order:

  1. Female worms release microfilariae into the blood and lymph of the host.
  2. A mosquito ingests microfilariae while feeding on an infected human.
  3. Microfilariae develop to the infective stage within the mosquito.
  4. An infected mosquito feeds off a human, and infective microfilariae penetrate the bite wound.

Note: The infective worms transmitted to humans are more precisely called third-stage larvae (L3), rather than microfilariae.
