Abstract
Refractoriness to Brugia pahangi microfilarial infection could be induced in the normally susceptible Aedes togoi mosquitoes by intrathoracic injection with crude thoracic homogenate of the refractory Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The crude thoracic homogenate contained three Sephadex G-200 protein profiles of which the first profile showed strongest inhibition to the parasite development.
