nocturnal periodicity ❖ The phenomena that the presenting of microfilariae in the peripheral blood is very low in density at daytime but the number of microfilariae gradually increase from evening to early next morning. This periodic pattern was called nocturnal periodicity. The microfilariae mostly stay in the pulmonary capillary vessels during the day. ❖ The peak time of microfilariae in the peripheral blood is: W. bancrofti: 10pm – 2am B. malayi: 8pm –4am
