| Kuvaus: | An attempt was made to provide definitive information on the relative susceptibility of male and female and of immature and mature cats to experimental infection with sub-periodic Brugia malayi. Data from blood smears and from necropsies of cats used for various experimental procedures over a period of several years were reviewed. It was concluded that while immature cats were probably more susceptible to infection than mature animals, cats of any age can be infected with sufficient reliability to be useful in experimental studies. On the basis of larval worm recoveries and the presence of microfilaria in peripheral blood smears, there did not seem to be a demonstrable difference in susceptibility between male and female cats. |
