title: [A method to detect microfilariae of Dipetalonema witei in the peripheral blood of mastomys natalensis (author's transl)].
abstract: A new cheap and time saving procedure is described for the detection of microfilariae of Dipetalonema witei in the peripheral blood of Mastomys natalensis. A special apparatus delivering an ether-air mixture is used to anesthetize the experimental animals for a short period in a very careful way and without side effects. The ether wapour induces a rapid shift of microfilariae within one minute from the lung to the peripheral blood.
