| + | Long, thin, white worms, generally less than 12cm in length. |
| + | |
| + | ==Life Cycle== |
| + | ''S. labiato-papillosa'' is 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. |
