ABSTRACT
Comparative studies of vector efficiency were done with the Liverpool and Malaysian strains of Aedes (Finlaya) togoi for subperiodic Brugia malayi and Brugia pahangi. The Malaysian strain of A. togoi was found to take in fewer microfilariae under the same experimental conditions than the Liverpool strain. Also, for various microfilarial densities in the host's peripheral blood, the Malaysian strain had less mean infective larvae per fed mosquito than the Liverpool strain. The microfilarial intake of A. togoi was not affected by the site of feeding on the host affected by the site of feeding on the host. Most of the mosquitoes took in fewer microfilariae than expected. It is concluded from these studies that the Malaysian strain of A. togoi is a susceptible and reasonably good vector for subperiodic B. malayi and B. pahangi. Further field studies should be carried out to determine its importance as a natural vector of Brugian filariasis.
