最初企图使寄生线虫在培养中获得生长,用丝虫作了一些试验,但至今成功的极少。丝虫生活于节肢动物阶段的生活期,在体外培养中和所有其他线虫幼虫不同,因丝虫在体内是居住在“细胞内”的。目前关于寄生虫在这样复杂环境中生长所需要的物理化学和营养因素知道的很少。无疑地可预言将证明这些因素比这些寄生性线虫自由生活幼 Initially attempted to allow parasitic nematodes to grow in culture, some tests were done with filariasis, but few have been successful so far. Filariasis lives in the arthropod stage and differs from all other nematode larvae in culture in vitro because the filariasis resides “in the cell” in the body. Little is known about the physicochemical and nutritional factors that parasites need to grow in such a complex environment. It is no doubt predictable that these factors will prove to be less free than these parasitic nematodes
