Abstract
Lymphoedema has been produced in the hind legs of 4 dogs infected with 60-600 larvae of Brugia malayi. In one dog the larvae were simply injected subcutaneously on the dorsum of the foot. In 2 dogs lymphangiography was also done, which may have injured the lymphatics. In the fourth dog, the ileo-pelvic abdomino-aortic lymph nodes had been excised 9 months before the inoculation of the larvae. The oedema began about 3 months after inoculation of larvae and has persisted for over a month. In one dog, which was autopsied, the lymphatic trunks were dilated and cord-like and they showed cystic occlusions; the relevant lymph nodes were enlarged and surrounded by fibrous tissue. F.
