These morphologic changes, referred to as Schüffner's dots, are important in the identification of this species of malarial parasite and have been associated by electron microscopy with caveolavesicle complexes along the erythrocyte plasmalemma. [3] They are named for Wilhelm Schüffner, who described them in 1904. [4]
In the human host, Loa loa larvae migrate to the subcutaneous tissue, where they mature into adult worms in approximately one year, but sometimes up to four years. Adult worms migrate in the subcutaneous tissues at a speed of less than 1 cm/min, mating and producing more microfilariae. The adult worms can live up to 17 years in the human host. [5]
