Transmission of the human parasite Brugia malayi relies on the sustained production of larvae in blood. In this issue of Developmental Cell,Foray et al. (2018) use methods developed in the model nematode C. elegans to reveal how a symbiotic bacterium supports the female germ cell development underlying this massive fecundity.
