Laboratory Technique for Producing Microfilariae of 'Dirofilaria immitis' in Mosquitoes,

Abstract

The basic technique which makes controlled experiments with infective microfilariae (Dirofilaria immitis) possible is the experimental production of third-stage filariae. The technique described is one which has been used by the 406th Medical Laboratory for many years; its development has been the work of many investigators from the Department of Entomology and the Department of Veterinary Medicine.
