 note = {生体外で脱鞘をおこしたBrugia malayi, B. pahangi仔虫を走査電顕にて観察し、その体表微細構造を観察した。両種とも角皮表面には多くの輪状溝が存在し、その数はB. malayiで402-442(平均423)、B. pahangiで443-485(平均458)であった。B. pahangi仔虫で輪状溝数がやや多いことを除いては、両種仔虫の間には基本的体表構造の違いは認められなかった。仔虫頭端は半球状を呈し、1本の鉤と2つの小孔が存在する。鉤は"くさび"状、0.7-1.1μの長さで、後方にのびる。2つの小孔の内、1つは短形で頭端部の中央に存在し、他の1つは円形で鉤基部と短形小孔の間に存在する。半球状頭端に続く第1体環の鉤と対面側には3本の刺突起がみられる。その長さは互いに等しく、0.6-0.7μである。刺突起は通常は後方に向かっているが、時折、頭端部が虫体内に陥凹して、刺突起が前方に反転している虫体が観察された。排泄孔は頭端より約150番目の体環に開くが、肛門孔は本観察ではみられなかった。尾部は輪状溝構造を保ちながら徐々に細くなるが、最後の数個の体環は膨瘤する。この膨瘤した最後の体環に長さ6-7μの棍棒状尾端部が続く。ここにも著明な輪状溝がみられる。, Scanning electron microscopic observations have been made on the microfilariae of Brugia malayi and B. pahangi which already cast off their sheaths in vitro. The microfilariae of both species have striated appearances. B. malayi microfilaria varies in number of striations between 402 and 442 with an average of 423, and B. pahangi microfilaria between 443 and 485 with an average of 458. Except for the difference in number of striations, B. malayi presents close morphological resemblances to B. pahangi. The anterior end of the microfilaria forms the bluntly rounded cap provided with a wedgeshaped hook and two small pores. The hook measures 0.7-1.1 microns in length and projects backward. Of the two pores, one, rectangular in shape, exists at the center of the cephalic cap and the other, round in shape, lies between the base of the hook and the rectangular pore. Three fang-like spines are situated on the first annulus opposite to the hook side. The spines are equal in length, 0.6-0.7 micron, to one another. The spines usually point backwards, though they are occasionally directed forwards by the withdrawal of the cephalic cap into the cephalic space. The excretory pore lies on around the 150th annulus from the anterior end, but the opening of the anal pore has not been found in the present study. The tail tapers gradually showing striations, though near the end a few annuluses become expanded. The terminal appendage, connected to the last expanded annulus, is 6-7 microns long, club-shaped and striated., 日本熱帯医学会雑誌, vol.4(2), pp.129-137; 1976},
