|---|---|
| Class | Nematoda |

Setaria labiato-papillosa
Also known as: Bovine abdominal filariosis
Hosts
Intermediate hosts: Mosquitoes
Definitive hosts: Cattle, buffalo and deer
Identification
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.
Setaria digitatus
Also known as: Kumri
Hosts
Intermediate hosts: Mosquitos
Definitive hosts: Cattle and buffalos
Identification
S. digitatus is similar in appearance to S. labito-papillosa, except slightly smaller at around 5cm.
