Extract

During the course of studies on human filariasis in Fiji in the period 1954–50, two new microfilariae were found in fruit bats. The first was found in the blood of 38 bats out of 111 examined from various islands of the territory. It has recently been described and named Microfilaria fijiensis by Yeh, Symes and Mataika (1958).
