| an epidemiological study of filariasis in sorsogon province, republic of the philippines, with notes on experimental mosquito infection. | an epidemiological survey was conducted on bancroftian filariasis in sorsogon province, the philippines, with special regard to low density microfilaremia (ldf). filtration technique using nuclepore membrane examining 1 ml blood revealed 31% positive rate for microfilaria out of 262 volunteers. out of 82 positives 21 (25.6%) had ldf (less than 10 in 1 ml blood). no conspicuous grouping of ldf was noted in younger age groups or sexes. in three out of 12 clinical filariasis, microfilaria was detec ... | 1983 | 6136616 |
| selective primary health care: strategies for the control of disease in the developing world. vii. filariasis. | at least 250 million people throughout the world are infected with filariae, and the number of such persons is increasing. three species infect humans: wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi, and brugia timori. the peak of microfilarial density in the blood usually occurs nocturnally. transmission of filariasis is remarkably inefficient. in an endemic area, approximately 100,000 mosquito bites yearly are required for production of each new case of microfilaremia. only a small proportion of those in ... | 1983 | 6138844 |
| mosquitoes of bali island, indonesia: common species in the village environment. | routine sampling of mosquito populations in rural villages was carried out during 13 months at 4 locations in southern bali island, indonesia. sampling was by light trapping and early night resting collections around animal stables. specimens collected were preserved for assay of arthropod-borne viruses; 104,608 specimens representing 20 species were prepared in 2681 pools for viral assay. anopheles barbirostris and an. subpictus have been shown to be important vectors of brugia malayi and b. ti ... | 1983 | 6140760 |
| filarial diseases in ceylon: a geographic and historical analysis. | medical records concerning filarial diseases in ceylon date from the account of davy[1], though there are hints as to the more obvious manifestations in the old chronicles of the country, too. a first survey was conducted in 1912/1913 concentrating on urban areas, followed by a second survey in the 1930s with emphasis on the rural parts. the results displayed a remarkable distribution pattern: wuchereria bancrofti, the so-called "urban type", concentrated in galle and matara towns, whereas brugi ... | 1983 | 6152421 |
| familial predisposition to filarial infection--not linked to hla-a or-b locus specificities. | two hundred and twenty-five polynesians were selected from a larger study population for the evaluation of potential genetic influences on the susceptibility to bancroftian filariasis. analysis showed that there was significantly familial clustering of patients with filariasis and that this clustering was most compatible with genetic transmission of disease susceptibility. the data best fit a model in which the hypothetical gene for filariasis was recessive with a frequency of 0.82 +/- 0.15 in t ... | 1981 | 6171153 |
| the major radioiodinated cuticular antigens of onchocerca gibsoni microfilariae are neither species nor onchocerca specific. | the possible role of microfilarial surface (cuticular) antigens in immuno-diagnosis of human filarial infections has been assessed using microfilariae (mf) of the cattle parasite onchocerca gibsoni. a triton x-100 extract of 125i-labeled o. gibsoni mf was reacted with a panel of sera from humans infected with onchocerca volvulus, wuchereria bancrofti and schistosoma japonicum as well as sera from uninfected controls. results of these immunoprecipitations indicated that sera from humans infected ... | 1981 | 6171154 |
