TLDR
The successful transmission of Wuchereria malayi from man to the domestic cat by direct inoculation of infective larvae is described and the microfilariae were apparently indistinguishable from those of the human donors, and they developed normally in the vector mosquitoes.Abstract:
1. (1) The successful transmission of Wuchereria malayi from man to the domestic cat by direct inoculation of infective larvae is described. 2. (2) The pre-patent periods in the five cats infected were 80, 81, 81, 82 and 96 days. 3. (3) The microfilariae were apparently indistinguishable from those of the human donors, and they developed normally in the vector mosquitoes. 4. (4) Adult worms corresponding to the description of W. malayi were recovered from two of the cats. 5. (5) The possible implications are discussed.read more

Developmental stages of Brugia pahangi in the final host.
TL;DR: The histological features of the larval stages and of the immature and mature adults are described for possible use in the identification of filariae observed in human or animal tissues.

The identification of infective filarial larvae in mosquitoes: with a note on the species found in "wild" mosquitoes on the Kenya coast.
TL;DR: A closer examination of the morphology of infective larvae in the vectors of filarial parasites of man in other areas will almost certainly show that the interpretation of infection rates may be complicated by the presence of infections of nonhuman origin.

Studies with Brugia pahangi. I. Parasitological observations on primary infections of cats (Felis catus).
TL;DR: The large majority of cats given a single inoculation of third stage larvae of Brugia pahangi became microfilaraemic and the recovery of adult worms was directly related to the number of larvae injected.

TL;DR: Morphological studies revealed a new species of Wuchereria, herein named W. pahangi, in the dog and in one cat, and a species in the Kra monkey which is close to and probably identical with adults of W. malayi as described by Bonne el at .
