[Preliminary studies on the incidence of Filaziae in equidae in the Netherlands (author's transl)].
Biopsies of the skin of the umbilical area were taken from ninety-nine horses and one donkey, all reared in the Netherlands. The biopsy specimens were examined for the presence of microfilariae by a recovery procedure. Microfilariae were identified in eight horses. These were microfilariae of the species Onchocerca cervicalis in each case.
