ABSTRACT
A dog naturally infected with Dipetalonema dracunculoides and having a microfilaremia of 6050 microfilariae per mm3 of blood was used as source of infection. Experimentally cultivated nymphs of Rhipicephalus sanguineus were fed on the donor dog. Once engorged, ninety-three nymphs were removed and kept at 30 degrees C and RH 90% until they moulted to the adult stage. To study the development of microfilariae in the vector, ten ticks were dissected at Day 37 post-infection. Adult infected ticks were fed on two uninfected dogs. The observed pre-patent periods were 69 and 76 days. Trans-stadial transmission of Dipetalonema dracunculoides by Rhipicephalus sanguineus was demonstrated.
