Brugia pahangi: infections and their effect on the lymphatic system of Mongolian jirds (Meriones unguiculatus)
HS Ah, PE Thompson - Experimental parasitology, 1973 - Elsevier
Brugia pahangi has been found to be primarily a lymphatic-dwelling parasite in jirds when
infections are induced by the subcutaneous injection of infective larvae or by allowing
infected Aedes aegypti to feed. Migration to the regional lymphatics occurred as early as 1–4
days. Although some injected larvae remained in the skin for as long as 30 days and some
became localized in the heart, lungs, pleural cavity, or peritoneal cavity, about three-fourths
of the recovered filariae were found in the regional lymphatics. In contrast, when larvae were …
