text_original: How is it that many of the natives are not literally devoured by these worms? It is true that in some places ten to fifty per cent, of the population harbours the filaria. But in many instances the infection, as judged by the microbes of embryo filariae in finger blood, is a feeble one, representing probably one or two pairs of parental worms. In other places, though culex may be common enough, the filaria and filarial disease are practically absent.
