Abstract

Eight kittens born of two Brugia pahangi infected cats have been studied for transplacental passed microfilariae. In the peripheral blood microfilariae could not be demonstrated at any time. However, in the lung of a young cat killed two days post partum ca. 30 microfilariae have been found (microfilaremia of the mother 90 mf/20 mm3). Histological studies suggested two possibilities of transplacental passage--by blood and by secretion of the uterus glands.
