Question

In filaria worm, fertilization takes place in​

Answer 1

In the filarial worm, fertilization takes place in the female genital tract.

• Filarial worm, a group of parasitic worms belonging to the family Filariidae (phylum Nematoda) that must complete their life cycle with two hosts: an arthropod (intermediate host) and a vertebrate (primary host).
• The larval stage takes place within the body of a biting insect.
• The mature (reproductive) phase occurs in the body of an insect-bitten animal.
• Copulation occurs in the lymphatic system of humans.
• Copulation occurs when male and female worms are present in the same lymph gland.
• Female worms are ovoviviparous, which means they produce eggs that hatch without eating the female's body.
• The technique of generating offspring using eggs that hatch within the parent's body is known as ovoviviparity.
• Microfilariae, or microscopic juvenile larvae, are released into the lymphatic system.
• Filariasis is a tropical infection caused by a variety of parasitic roundworms that resemble threads.
• The two worm species most usually associated with this sickness are Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi.

Answer 2

In the filarial worm, fertilization takes place in the female genital tract.

Explanation:

• Filarial is a parasitic nematode that inhabits up to 170 million lymphatic vessels and subcutaneous tissues worldwide.  

• Among the eight human filariasis, those that cause royal disease, onchocerciasis, and lymphatic filariasis are the major causes of morbidity.  

• The mature (reproductive) stage occurs in the body of an animal bitten by an insect.  

• Female worms produce a large number of microscopic and active embryos called microfilaria, that enter the bloodstream of the primary host.
