在实验室培育的以人类携带者为食的Mansonia uniformis中培育出的马来丝虫幼虫，通过皮下接种成功地转移到恒河猴和其他种类的猕猴、懒猴（Nycticebus concong）、果子狸和家猫等动物身上，并恢复了成虫。马来丝孢菌株先后在猴、猫和懒猴体内传代。家猫被证明是一个非常成功的宿主。这些动物或其他野生动物或家畜可能是马来亚地区马来分枝杆菌感染的天然宿主，这似乎是合理的。丝虫病控制措施应包括承认这种可能性。摘要作者：a.c.钱德勒
W. malayi larvae, developed in laboratory-bred Mansonia uniformis fed on human carriers, were successfully transferred by subcutaneous inoculation to such animals as, the rhesus monkey and other species of Macaca, slow loris (Nycticebus concong), civet cat and domestic cat, and adult worms recovered. Strains of W. malayi were passaged successively through monkey, cat and loris. The domestic cat proved to be a very successful reservoir host. It seems plausible that these or other wild or domestic animals might serve as natural reservoirs of the W. malayi infection in Malaya. Filariasis control measures should include recognition of such possibility. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: A. C. Chandler
