| identification of a common filarial larva in simulium damnosum s.l. (type d, duke, 1967) as onchocerca ramachandrini from the wart hog. | filarial larvae resembling type d (duke, 1967), which are common in the simulium damnosum s.i. vectors of human onchocerciasis ("riverblindness") in several parts of west africa, were dissected from wild-caught flies in north cameroon and examined morphologically. this was done in order to establish a possible synonymy with infective larvae (l3) of 2 recently discovered onchocerca species of wart hogs (onchocerca ramachandrini bain, wahl, and renz, 1993 and onchocerca sp. wahl and bain, 1995), w ... | 1996 | 8636868 |
