Abstract The transcuticular uptake ofl-glycine andl-arginine by adult femaleBrugia pahangi has been shown to involve both a saturable carrier transport system and diffusion. The uptake ofl-glycine was competitive with regard tol-methionine,l-valine, andl-phenylalanine but noncompetitive withl-arginine. It is suggested that at least two distinct loci are involved in the transcuticular movement of amino acids in this filarial nematode.
