Dormancy Period: 1 month to 2 years.

The incubation period for infection ranges from 1 month to 2 years and typically microfilariae appear before overt symptoms. The accumulation of many infective mosquito bites – several hundreds to thousands – is required to establish infection. Lymphedema can develop within six months and development of elephantiasis has been reported within a year of infection. Men tend to develop worse symptoms than women. The Brugia mosquito injects larvae into human blood stream. Adult worms can survive in the lymphatic system for 5–15 years. The accumulation of many mosquito bites is required to establish infection.
