[The Filaria Breinlia booliati in the Adedes togoi adipose tissue; comparison with the couple Dipetalonema dessetae-A. aegypti (author's transl)].
In the couple Filaria-vector Breinlia (Breinlia) booliati-Aedes (Finlaya) togoi, the changs observed in the parasited adipose tissue display large similarities with those recently observed in Dipetalonemia (Molinema) dessetae-Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti: same syncitium organisation of parasited adipocytes, and local stimulation of protein synthesis. However, there is an essential difference between the two coules studied: the parasited adipous syncitium is not any more induced by a blood uptake in booliati-togoi, whereas this parasited tissue reacts like unparasited adipocytes in dessetae-aegypti. Analysis of crossed couples (booliati-aegypti and dessetae-togoi) demonstrates that these physiological properties are not linked to the vecotr but to the Filaria itself.
