The melanization response ofAedes trivittatusand the black-eyed Liverpool (LVP) and Rocke-feller (RKF) strains ofAedes aegyptiagainst intrathoracically inoculatedBrugia pahangimicrofilariae (mff) that previously had penetrated LVP, RKF, orA. trivittatusmidguts in vitro was assessed at 1, 3, and 5 days postinoculation (PI). LVP and RKF midgut-derived mff almost totally avoided the melanization response and developed normally in LVP strainA. aegypti, and although over 90% of these mff died by 5 days PI in RKF mosquitoes, the majority of these were not melanized.A. aegyptimidgut-derived mff also were able to avoid the response ofA. trivittatusin 33–43% of the cases. Penetration throughA. trivittatusmidguts, however, did not significantly affect the ability of mff to avoid the melanization response in any of the mosquitoes examined. Allogeneic and xenogeneic tissue inplants were accepted by all three mosquito species examined. Data presented support the hypothesis that mff avoid immune recognition in compatible mosquitoes by coating themselves with midgut material(s) during penetration of the midgut in their migration to the hemocoel.
