In an autopsy on the Congo, F. diurna was found in the blood, 

 also a fragment of an adult female filaria in the heart; the 

 latter agreed in all details with F. loa, but the absence of 

 head and tail made a final determination impossible. The 

 author regards F. loa as an accidental parasite of the eye.
