Life Cycle of Wuchereria Bancrofti Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6254
The Life Cycle of Wuchereria Bancrofti Model (SKU JC-BE-6254) is a filariasis life cycle model for Wuchereria bancrofti, the filarial nematode of lymphatic filariasis. It shows third-stage larvae deposited on the skin by Culex and some Anopheles mosquitoes, adults maturing in lymphatic vessels and nodes, microfilariae entering the blood with peak numbers at night, and the lymphoedema and elephantiasis that can follow long-standing lymphatic damage. It serves parasitology teaching. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.

Frequently asked questions
Why are samples taken at night?
Microfilariae typically circulate in peak numbers in peripheral blood at night, matching the night-time biting of the vector.
Where do the adult worms live?
In human lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, where they can survive for several years.
