Brugia pahangi

It is a filarial nematode known to infect the lymph vessels of domestic cats and wild animals, causing a disease filariasis.

In Thailand, 25% of the blood samples take from 83 cats residing in Buddhist temples carried the worm (Palmieri et al., 1985).

Behind the nerve ring it was found that the cells of the nuclear column over time become less dense.

[4] This genus of Brugia is most commonly recognized by the spicules in males, which are needle like mating structures that open the vulva of the female worm.

To measure the severity of the infection, the number of microfilariae per microliter of blood is tested.

[7] There are very few experiments, but there was a study in which a Wolbachia pipientis strain was used to infect Aedea aegypti, Yellow fever mosquito.
