Abstract 

The development of Brugia malayi and B. pahangi larvae in the thoracic flight muscles of a selected strain of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes was studied by histological means.

About 75–80% of B. malayi died in the course of development, the peak death rate occurring about 2–3 days after the infecting meal.

A majority of B. pahangi larvae survived to the 3rd-stage, but there were some deaths at all stages of development and also a few amongst haemocoele larvae.
