Abstract
Aedes togoi mosquitoes were fed on cats and jirds infected with Brugia malayi. Third stage larvae recovered from these mosquitoes at 14 days after infection or at 30 days after infection were administered to young cats in a drop of saline over artificially produced puncture wounds on the volar surface of the rear feet. After time to allow for migration of the parasites to the popliteal lymph nodes, cats were necropsied and the larvae recovered. The length of time which infective larvae remained in the mosquito neither decreased nor enhanced the ability of larvae to invade tissue and initiate a new infection.
