Abstract
- In vitro chemotactic responses of infective third-stage larvae (L3) of Brugia pahangi to NaCl, Na2HPO4, KCl, K2HPO4, MgCl2 and CaCl2 were assessed. Compared to deionized water as a control, 200mm NaCl and 100mm Na2HPO4 significantly attracted L3 (P<0.01 and P<0.01), whereas L3 were likely to avoid 200mm KCl and 100mm K2HPO4 (P<0.05 and P<0.05). L3 showed no significant tendency to avoid or to be attracted to 200mm CaCl2 and 200mm MgCl2. Furthermore, NaCl exhibited a significant chemoattractant activity for L3 at a low concentration of 100mm.<br />Journal of Helminthology, 86(4), pp.406-409; 2012
