Abstract

Abstract A large proportion (68%) of Brugia malayi larvae dissected from infected Aedes togoi mosquitoes and applied to artificially produced puncture wounds on the rear feet of cats were recovered from the corresponding popliteal lymph node or adjacent afferent lymphatic vessels when the infected animals were dissected from 1 to 8 days after infection. This localization of larvae provides a basis for subsequent observations on the development and eventual distribution of the parasite in relation to infection sites, degree of exposure and effects of reinfection.
