Life Cycle Of The Small Strongyle

The more researchers learn about encysted small strongyles, the more reasons horse owners have to hate them. Before we go any further, it's going to be helpful to understand the life cycle of the small strongyle:
1.Adult small strongyles lay eggs inside of the horse that are passed into the horse's feces and subsequently dropped into pastures, stalls, etc.
2.The eggs hatch and go through several stages of development. During the stage when they are known as "third-stage" larvae (L3) they are ready to be ingested by a horse. Once inside, they migrate into the horse's intestinal wall.
3.When the third-stage (L3) small strongyle larvae have entered the intestinal wall, cysts form around them. The encysted larvae have an early stage (EL3) and a late stage (LL3) of development. While in the early third-stage of development the larvae can remain encysted in the horse's intestine for up to 3 years before they develop into the later stage.
4.The larvae develop into a fourth stage (L4) of development and emerge from the cysts in the intestinal wall. They then develop into a fifth stage (L5), then adulthood where the lifecycle starts over again.
Nowhere can I find the mention of these third stage encysted larvae in human medical searches of the disease.
