  • Title: On the uptake of Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae in vector mosquitoes of different susceptibility to filarial infections.
    Author: Zielke E.
    Journal: Angew Parasitol; 1992 May; 33(2):91-5. PubMed ID: 1351706.
    Abstract:
    The quantitative uptake of Wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae by mosquito species of different susceptibility to filarial infection was studied. There was no relationship between the degree of susceptibility and the number of ingested microfilariae. However, in all tested mosquito strains the females ingested as a mean 1.2-1.9 times more microfilariae of W. bancrofti than expected.
