They are long, thin, white worms, generally less than 12cm in length.
 
 
 
===Life Cycle===
 
''S. labiato-papillosa'' has an indirect life cycle. Larvae are produced by adult worms, and are present in the hosts blood. The mosquitoes become infected whilst feeding. The larvae develop in mosquitos and infect a new definitive host.
 
 
 
The prepatent period is 8-10 months.

===Hosts===
 
'''Intermediate hosts''': Mosquitos

===Identification===
 
 
 
''S. digitatus'' is similar in appearance to ''S. labito-papillosa'', except slightly smaller at around 5cm.
