The uptake and migration of microfilariae of Brugia pahangi in susceptible and refractory Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti were compared after membrane-feeding the mosquitoes on infected blood and anti-coagulant. There was no difference between the strains within each species in the pattern of migration, but in C pipiens only 24% of the microfilariae reached the thorax whereas in A. aegypti 73-6% were successful. In both susceptible strains the filariae in the thorax developed normally to maturity, but in both refractory strains almost all filariae died within a few days.
在用感染血液和抗凝剂对蚊子进行膜饲后，比较了彭亨丝虫微丝蚴在易感和难治的致倦库蚊及埃及伊蚊中的摄取和迁移情况。每个物种内不同品系在迁移模式上没有差异，但在致倦库蚊中只有24%的微丝蚴到达胸部，而在埃及伊蚊中这一比例为73.6%。在两个易感品系中，胸部的丝虫都正常发育至成熟，但在两个难治品系中，几乎所有丝虫在几天内死亡。
