Table 1. Summary of B. malayi adult parasitology in gerbils, CB.17 SCID mice and BALB/c IL-4Rα-/-IL-5-/- mice.

Strain % active infection (n) Median % adult recovery of L3 inoculate (range, n) % infections producing males (n) Average ratio F:M
Gerbil 80.8 (105) 4% (0–32.5, 105) 65.4 (105) 1:0.65
CB.17 SCID 95.5 (88) 13% (0–49, 88) 92.1 (88) 1:0.35
IL4Rα -/- IL-5 -/- 95.9 (72) 12% (0–59.3, 72) 87.5 (72) 1:0.34

Adult parasitology summary between rodent strains and species detailing: 1. the percentage of active infections as a function of the total number of animals of that species/strain infected (the percentage of animals with parasites retrieved at necropsy), 2. the median percentage of adults recovered (males and females) as a function of the initial L3 inoculate, 3. the percentage of total infections producing males as opposed to female only infections, and the average ratio of females to males across infections.
