Abstract: AIM: To explore the susceptibility of Anopheles sinensis to Brugia malayi microfilariae of
different densities . METHODS: The survival rate of mosquitoes,the rate of microfilariae penetrating through
midgut, the mature rate of larvae into infective larvae(L3) and the mean number of L 3 in the survived
mosquitoes were observed. RESULTS: With the microfilariae densities of 32 5 mf/μl and 141 5 mf/μl, the rate
of larvae matured into L3 was 36.2% and 8.7%, respectively, the mean number of L3 recovered from infected mosquitoes was 8.24 and 0.30, respectively. CONCLUSION: An apparently higher susceptibility of An. sinensis to
B.malayi was found by using B.malayi microfilariae density of 32.5- 66.4 m f/ul.
