LBW is the abbreviation for Leg Before Wicket which is one of the ways to get a batsman dismissed in cricket. And quite like the sheath for these microfilaria, the players protect their legs using leg guards (cricket pads).

 

 

Loa loa and Brugia malayi have nuclei till their tail tips whereas Wuchereria bancrofti has it's tail end free of nuclei.
