The gene sb (filarial susceptibility, Brugia pahangi) in Culex pipiens controls the development also of sub-periodic B. malayi, but has no influence on the development of periodic Wuchereria bancrofti (Ceylon strain). C.p. fatigans (Kuala Lumpur), C.p. molestus (London) and Aedes aegypti (re fm strain) were all susceptible to the Ceylon strain of W. bancrofti, with susceptibility rate of 90.3%, 92.9% and 52.6% respectively. However, a low proportion of the larvae in A. aegypti developed to maturity, and this mosquito is less well adapted to W. bancrofti than is C. pipiens.
致倦库蚊中的sb基因(对丝状虫易感性,马来布鲁线虫)也控制亚周期型马来丝虫的发育,但对周期型班氏吴策线虫(锡兰株)的发育没有影响。致倦库蚊(吉隆坡)、骚扰库蚊(伦敦)和埃及伊蚊(refm株)对班氏吴策线虫锡兰株均易感,易感性率分别为90.3%、92.9%和52.6%。然而,埃及伊蚊中只有一小部分幼虫发育成熟,并且这种蚊子对班氏吴策线虫的适应性不如致倦库蚊。
