Abstract
Ultrastructure of Brugia malayi egg shell and microfilarial sheath have been compared. They are identical in appearance, thus confirming that the microfilarial sheath is derived from the egg shell. The surface of the egg shell and the microfilarial sheath have distinct electron-dense projections which may have a protective role for the parasite.Entities:
