Abstract

Out of 179 bats examined only three (1.7%) were infected with the microfilariae of Diptalonema vitae. the microfilariae were encountered in the peripheral blood of Rousettus aegyptiacus aegyptiacus. They are unsheathed and have a broad cephalic end and a blunt posterior end. They measured 187.5–220 mm in length and 4–6 mm in width (average 202 x 5 mm). and the body is a smoothly curved in graceful curves. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) revealed that the cephalic end of the body is devoid from nuclei while the remaining of the body is occupied by a well demonstrated column of nuclei.
