The microfilaria (plural microfilariae, sometimes abbreviated mf) is an early stage in the life cycle of certain parasitic nematodes in the family Onchocercidae. In these species, the adults live in a tissue or the circulatory system of vertebrates (the "definitive hosts"). They release microfilariae into the bloodstream of the vertebrate host. The microfilariae are taken up by blood-feeding arthropod vectors (the "intermediate hosts"). In the intermediate host the microfilariae develop into infective larvae that can be transmitted to a new vertebrate host.

- La microfilaria es una filaria en su etapa temprana de vida. Esta etapa está presente en ciertos parásitos nematodos de la familia Onchocercidae. Son producto del apareamiento de las filarias adultas (que ocurre dentro del vertebrado, hospedero definitivo). Son más pequeñas que los adultos, y son liberadas en el sistema circulatorio o de linfático para que el vector (hospedero intermedio) pueda extraerlos para continuar con su ciclo de vida dentro del vector, madurar e infectar otro nuevo hospedero.

La presencia de microfilarias en el torrente sanguíneo del huésped se denomina "microfilaremia". El éxito de los programas de erradicación de la filariasis generalmente se mide por la reducción en el número de microfilarias circulantes (carga filarial) en individuos infestados dentro de un área geográfica.
