| Stephanofilaira stilesi | |
|---|---|
| Class | Nematoda |
| Super-family | Filarioidea |
Hosts
Intermediate hosts: The horn fly, Haematobia irritans
Definitive hosts: Cattle
Identification
These small nematodes are between 3-6mm in length. The eggs have thin shells, and are around 65μm in length. The microfilaria are 50μm long and enclosed in a spherical, vitelline membrane.
Lifecycle
Horn flies feed on lesions found on the host skin, and ingest microfilariae, as they feed on cutaneous lesions. They later develop into L3 in around 18-21 days. The definitive host is infected when the fly leaves the L3 on the host.
Causes Stephanofilariasis.
