Given the poor ability of stool examination to diagnose Strongyloides, detecting antibodies by ELISA can be useful. [16] Serology can cross-react with other parasites, remain positive for years after successful treatment or be falsely negative in immunocompromised patients.
Strongyloides (from Greek strongylos, round, + eidos, resemblance), anguillula, or threadworm is a genus of small nematode parasites, belonging to the family Strongylidae, commonly found in the small intestine of mammals (particularly ruminants), that are characterized by an unusual lifecycle that involves one or several generations of free ...
Strongyloides stercoralis is a human pathogenic parasitic roundworm causing the disease strongyloidiasis. Its common name in the US is threadworm . In the UK and Australia, however, the term threadworm can also refer to nematodes of the genus Enterobius , otherwise known as pinworms .
Strongyloides westeri, commonly referred to as intestinal threadworm, is a species of small nematode parasite in the family Strongylidae.Strongyloides (from Greek strongylos, round, + eidos, resemblance) are commonly found in the small intestine of mammals (generally horses and monkeys, specifically foals), that are characterized by an unusual lifecycle (Larvae II, III) that involves one ...
Löffler's syndrome is a disease in which eosinophils accumulate in the lung in response to a parasitic infection. The parasite can be Ascaris, Strongyloides stercoralis, or Dirofilaria immitis [1] which can enter the body through contact with the soil. [2]

These have large buccal capsules and leaf-like structures known as corona radiata.Most of them infect the large intestine by oral ingestion of the larva. The superfamily consists of the Strongylidae (including the strongyles of equines), Chabertiidae (including the nodular worms), Syngamidae (including the gapeworms of birds) and Deletrocephalidae (of Rhea americana).
Strongyloides procyonis is a parasitic roundworm infecting the small intestine of the raccoon, Procyon lotor, hence its name. It was first described from Louisiana . It is morphologically similar to S. stercoralis , and as such infections of S. procyonis in humans, dogs, and other animals might be mistaken for the former.
