Studies on the Aedes scutellaris complex of mosquitoes showed that refractory and susceptible species can be distinguished by reference to the proportion of Brugia pahangi microfilariae which reach the thorax within three hours of a feed. Migration ceased approximately 1 1/2 hours after feeding in refractory species, in which only 50% of the ingested worms reached the thorax, In susceptible species over 95% of the ingested microfilariae reached the thorax, and migration lasted for three hours after a feed. Differentiation could be achieved by studying the levels of exsheathment, but it is suggested that analysis of migration levels forms a reliable, accurate and quick method of distinguishing refractory from susceptible species.
对斯氏伊蚊复合体蚊子的研究表明，可通过参照彭亨布鲁线虫微丝蚴在进食后三小时内到达胸部的比例来区分抗性和敏感物种。在抗性物种中，进食后约1.5小时迁移停止，其中只有50%摄入的蠕虫到达胸部；在敏感物种中，超过95%摄入的微丝蚴到达胸部，进食后迁移持续三小时。通过研究脱鞘水平可以实现区分，但有人建议，分析迁移水平是一种区分抗性和敏感物种的可靠、准确且快速的方法。
