Open publisher page 99 citations

Abstract

filaria conjulnctivae (Addario, 1885). It is assumed that they are zoonotic forms. Little is known of the development of filarial species in the definitive host, the larval and adolescent stages having been described only for Conispiculum flavescens in lizards (Menon, Ramamurti, and Rao, 1944), Litomosoides carinii in cotton rats (Cross and Scott, 1945, 1947; Scott, 1945; Scott and Cross, 1946; Scott et al, 1951) and Dipetalonema blanci in rodents (Chabaud, 1954). Edeson and Buckley (1959) described the rate of growth and the migration of Wuchereria malayi in experimentally-infected cats.
