(1) The successful transmission of
Wuchereria malayi from man to the domestic cat by direct inoculation of infective larvae is described.
2.
(2) The pre-patent periods in the five cats infected were 80, 81, 81, 82 and 96 days.
3.
(3) The microfilariae were apparently indistinguishable from those of the human donors, and they developed normally in the vector mosquitoes.
4.
(4) Adult worms corresponding to the description of
W. malayi were recovered from two of the cats.
5.
(5) The possible implications are discussed. |
