Abstract
Litomosoides carinii is a filariid parasite of the cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus. It has been used extensively in the United States to investigate the chemotherapy of filarial infections. R. W. Williams and H. W. Brown1 and J. A. Scott (private communication) have recently shown that infection was transmitted from one animal to another by means of the tropical rat mite Liponyssus bacoti. These workers kindly showed their results and methods to one of us and provided us with a colony of the mites and some infected cotton rats. Further infected cotton rats were kindly lent us by Prof. R. M. Gordon.
