Notes on nematode larvae others than microfilariae found on filter membranes in blood surveys for bancroftian filariasis.
Among 741 people examined in a rural area in Liberia for microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti 39 (5,3%) were found to be infected with nematode larvae others than microfilariae. These larvae had more developed inner structures than microfilariae and could be classified into two different types, differing in length and shape. The larvae have not been identified yet, but it is believed that they have to be associated to parasitic nematodes of the intestine.
