PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS OF FROG FILARIASIS IN NEW JERSEY

WAYNE J. CRANS 1

1 Department of Entomology and Economic Zoology Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903

New Jersey bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana, were found to be heavily infested with filarial worms of the genus Foleyella Seurat 1917. A technique was devised to rapidly screen amphibians for the infection. The results of a state-wide survey are presented and a possible life cycle is suggested. Preliminary transmission studies indicated the mosquito, Culex territans, to be a natural vector.
