| comparison of methods for the detection of microfilariae of wuchereria bancrofti in western samoa. | the 1 ml nuclepore filtration technique (np method), 60 c.mm finger-prick or venous blood smear method and the counting chamber method were compared for their effectiveness in detecting microfilariae. the loss of microfilariae by the np method was small enough to be disregarded. the 60 c.mm blood smear method was shown to be as efficient as the 60 c.mm np method, when using finger-prick blood. the finger-prick blood contained 32% more microfilariae than venous blood when compared by the 60 c.mm ... | 1984 | 6209805 |
| schistosoma mansoni, s. haematobium, and s. japonicum: identification of genus- and species-specific antigenic egg glycoproteins. | immunoreactive egg glycoproteins of schistosoma mansoni, s. haematobium, and s. japonicum which are genus- and species-specific, or react with sera of patients infected with other parasites, have been identified. egg proteins were labeled with iodine-125, and the concanavalin a-binding glycoproteins were immunoprecipitated with sera of patients infected with one of four species of schistosoma or trichinella spiralis, taenia solium, echinococcus granulosus, entamoeba histolytica, or wuchereria ba ... | 1984 | 6209162 |
