The microfilariae of D. (A.) weissi parasite of Elephantulus rozeti in North Africa evolved in Ornithodoros erraticus (Vellozo strain from Casablanca) where they reach the infective stage. The Filaria D. (A.) viteae, parasite of Gerbillid Rodents, is closely related to D. (A.) weissi but has some clear differential characters; on the contrary the infective stages seem to be undistinguishable.
北非罗氏象鼩身上的魏氏恶丝虫(D. (A.) weissi)微丝蚴寄生于卡氏钝缘蜱(来自卡萨布兰卡的韦洛佐株),在蜱体内发育至感染阶段。沙鼠啮齿动物身上的丝状虫——维氏恶丝虫(D. (A.) viteae)与魏氏恶丝虫密切相关,但有一些明显的鉴别特征;相反,其感染阶段似乎难以区分。
