The immunogold technique was used for the ultrastructural localization of antibody-binding sites on thin sections of Lowicryl K4M embedded adult females, infective larvae and pieces of adult cuticles of Dipetalonema viteae insoluble in SDS-2-ME. The antisera used were either produced against SDS-2-ME extracts of cuticles or the insoluble pellet after SDS-2-ME extraction. With both types of anti...

Dipetalonema viteae (Filarioidea) infections were established in inbred strains of mice by the s.c. implantation of adult female worms and the resulting microfilaraemia and adult worm survival monitored. BALB/c mice were the most susceptible strain examined, showing a high level microfilaraemia of approximately 6 month's duration. C57Bl/10, CBA/Ca and C3H/He mice were all equally resistant to i...

Filariae of animals, especially those of mammals, often infect humans and typically produce cryptic infections. These "zoonotic" infections have been reported from virtually all parts of the world including temperate zones. Infections may be symptomatic or not, and the parasites are found in surgical tissue biopsy specimens or, more rarely, are removed intact from superficial sites such as the ...
