The microfilaria on the left was seen in a blood smear of a
graduate student native to Africa. You
note that it is sheathed, fails to possess tail nuclei, and measures
about 290 micrometers in length by 8.5 micrometers in width in the fixed
smear. What species does it
represent?
Brugia malayi
Loa loa
Onchocerca volvulus
Wuchereria bancrofti
