摘要：

The observation that children born to mothers that are infected with Wuchereria bancrofti are more susceptible to filarial infection than those born to uninfected mothers, raises many questions, particularly regarding immune mechanisms. In this article, Allen Hightower, Patrick Lammie and Mark Eberhard discuss these issues and their implications for the epidemiology of filarial infection.
