What is strongladies sterclaries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume you mean: Strongyloides stercoralis. This is the human parasite often called the threadworm. These worms most commonly cause lung or gastrointestinal symptoms in infected persons, if causing symptoms at all(early on many people have no symptoms).
