"Kose" or "Wahi" disease in cattle, a certain elephantiasis-like disease, has been long known among native black cattle. There is the study by Oguni on this disease. He succeeded in demonstrating a kind of microfilaria from the affected skin and has insisted the microfilaria to be the causal agent and to be microfilaria of Setaria. As we have some doubts on his Setaria theory on the cause, we have reexamined the etiology of the disease. In this report, as a previous question on the studies we have investigated parasitologically all filariae found among cattle in this country. The results obtained may be summarized as follows : 1. [table] 2. In this country, the infection rates of both Setariae are 50-80%, that of Onchocerca being 90%. See the graph in the original for further particulars. 3. On the ground of the developmental stage, microfilariae of this Onchocerca can be divided into two types. 1st stage microfilariae are 190-220μ in length and irregularly curved in shape, 2nd stage microfilariae being 110-130μ and whirl-shaped. 4. We can differentiate certainly microfilaria of Setaria from that of Onchocerca according to the size, form and structure.
