Extract

In two previous papers (Dissanaike et al., 1957a and 1957b) we described the technique of tagging Culex fatigans and Armigeres subalbatus (=obturbans) with P32 to obtain high beta activities. Filarial larvae were made to develop to the infective stage in these activated mosquitoes and were found to have beta activities high enough for detection individually.
