  • Title: Comparative susceptibility of five strains of Mansonia uniformis (Diptera:Culicidae) in Malaysia to infection with subperiodic Brugia malayi.
    Author: Chiang GL, Loong KP, Eng KL.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1989 Jun; 20(2):169-74. PubMed ID: 2575285.
    Abstract:
    Five strains of Ma. uniformis from Malaysia were tested for their susceptibility to infection with subperiodic B. malayi. All were found to be susceptible with infection rates ranging from 62% to 100%. The susceptibility rates were directly related to the microfilarial densities of the cat at the time of feeding. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference (p greater than 0.05) among the means of the indices of experimental infection as well as the percentage of infective mosquitoes of the five strains and an old laboratory colony. They were all equally susceptible to subperiodic B. malayi.
