Autor(es): de Hollanda J C,Denham D A,Suswillo R R
Resumo: By transferring microfilariae of Brugia pahangi which had been born over a 24-hour period in the peritoneal cavities of jirds (Meriones unguiculatus) to the blood circulation of other jirds, infections of known age were tested for their ability to develop into third-stage larvae (L3) in mosquitoes Aedes aegypti. Microfilariae less than three days old were not able to develop to L3. Microfilariae which had been in circulation for three days to six months were capable of developing if ingested.
