Gravid females of three mosquito species: Anopheles maculipennis atroparvus, Culex
pipiens molestus and Aedes aegypti, all from laboratory cultures, were experimentally
infected with microfilaria of Dirofilaria repens from blood of a domestic dog from vicinity of
Kyiv (Ukraine). Larval stages of the nematode successfully developed in all three vector
species at room temperature 18–29° C. Microfilaria migrated from the stomach and intestine

Gravid females of three mosquito species: Anopheles maculipennis atroparvus, Culex pipiens molestus and Aedes aegypti, all from laboratory cultures, were experimentally infected with microfilaria of Dirofilaria repens from blood of a domestic dog from vicinity of Kyiv (Ukraine). Larval stages of the nematode successfully developed in all three vector species at room temperature 18–29°C. Microfilaria migrated from the stomach and intestine to the Malpighian tubules of mosquitoes during first three days post infection (pi). Quiescent first-stage larvae ("sausage stage") were first observed on day 4 pi; in some specimens of Ae. aegypti this stage remained in Malpighian tubules till day 21 pi (end of observations). Second stage larvae were observed from day 6 till day 19 pi. Third stage larvae were first observed in Malpighian tubules of all three mosquito species on day 10 pi; on days 14 and 16 pi they were first found in body cavity, salivary glands and proboscis. The following values of vector efficiency index were calculated for each mosquito species: 11.9% in A. maculipennis, 7.9% in Ae. aegypti and 1.9% in C. pipiens. General morphology of experimentally obtained D. repens larval stages is described. A. maculipennis atroparvus and C. pipiens molestus are supposed to participate in the D. repens transmission under natural conditions in Ukraine.
