Third-stage larvae (L3) of Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and B. pahangi are known to be recovered not only from the head and thorax but also from the abdomen of dissected vector mosquitoes. For epidemiological reasons, was of interest to determine whether L3 larvae from the abdomen of the vector would be infectious for the final host. Early abdominal L3 larvae of B. pahangi isolated as early as on day 7 post-infection (p.i.) from Aedes aegypti were injected s.c. into five male Meriones unguiculatus. Four of the five jirds were microfilaria-positive after 67 days.
已知班氏吴策线虫、马来布鲁线虫和彭亨布鲁线虫的三期幼虫（L3）不仅可从解剖的媒介蚊虫的头部和胸部检出，也可从其腹部检出。出于流行病学研究的目的，确定来自媒介蚊虫腹部的L3幼虫对终宿主是否具有感染性很有意义。早在感染后第7天从埃及伊蚊体内分离出的彭亨布鲁线虫早期腹部L3幼虫，经皮下注射到5只雄性长爪沙鼠体内。5只沙鼠中有4只在67天后血中出现微丝蚴。
