evidence for stopping mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis in some, but not all local government areas of plateau and nasarawa states, nigeria.an average of six annual rounds of ivermectin and albendazole were distributed in plateau and nasarawa states, nigeria, to eliminate lymphatic filariasis. from 2007 to 2008, population-based surveys were implemented in all 30 local government areas (lgas) of the two states to determine the prevalence of wuchereria bancrofti antigenemia to assess which lga mass drug administration (mda) could be halted. in total, 36,681 persons from 7,819 households were examined for filarial antigen as determine ...022855758
insecticidal bed nets and filariasis transmission in papua new guinea.global efforts to eliminate lymphatic filariasis are based on the annual mass administration of antifilarial drugs to reduce the microfilaria reservoir available to the mosquito vector. insecticide-treated bed nets are being widely used in areas in which filariasis and malaria are coendemic.023964936
presence of wuchereria bancrofti microfilaremia despite 7 years of annual ivermectin monotherapy mass drug administration for onchocerciasis control: a study in north-west ethiopia.there is considerable interest in determining whether mass drug administration (mda) with ivermectin for onchocerciasis control will eliminate coendemic lymphatic filariasis (lf). the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of lf microfilaremia in onchocerciasis endemic districts that had received 7 years of mda with ivermectin.026878935
species composition and temporal distribution of mosquito populations in ibadan, southwestern nigeria.nigeria has a high burden of vector borne diseases such as malaria and lymphatic filariasis (lf). this study aimed to determine the species composition of mosquitoes in ibadan, southwest nigeria as well as determine their role in malaria and lf transmission. adult mosquitoes were collected by pyrethrum spray catch (psc) and identified and graded according to their abdominal conditions. the mosquitoes were dissected to determine the parity status and to check for microfilariae of wuchereria bancr ...025520960
imported lymphatic filariasis in an indian immigrant to iran.lymphatic filariasis (lf), a nematode disease transmitted by arthropod vectors, is repeatedly reported in immigrant population. this disease is not endemic in iran; however, different species of mosquitoes, capable of transmission of parasite microfilaria, are distributed in the country. hereby, incidental detection of an imported case of lf due to wuchereria bancrofti in an indian worker in iran is reported. identification of the case was performed based on morphological and morphometrical char ...025642273
survival of diurnally sub periodic wuchereria bancrofti in downsiomyia nivea (diptera: culicidae): a density dependent factor from andaman & nicobar islands.in india, diurnally sub periodic wuchereria bancrofti transmitted by downsiomyia nivea is prevalent only in the nicobar district of andaman and nicobar islands. the ongoing lf elimination programme aims at transmission interruption by bringing down the microfilarie (mf) load in the community, which has implication on the parasite load in mosquito vector. therefore, understanding density dependent constraints on transmission assumes significance from control perspective. the present study was und ...024604052
optimisation of an asymmetric polymerase chain reaction assay for the amplification of single-stranded dna from wuchereria bancrofti for electrochemical detection.single-stranded dna (ssdna) is a prerequisite for electrochemical sensor-based detection of parasite dna and other diagnostic applications. to achieve this detection, an asymmetric polymerase chain reaction method was optimised. this method facilitates amplification of ssdna from the human lymphatic filarial parasite wuchereria bancrofti. this procedure produced ssdna fragments of 188 bp in a single step when primer pairs (forward and reverse) were used at a 100:1 molar ratio in the presence of ...024037206
evaluation of pcr-elisa as a tool for monitoring transmission of wuchereria bancrofti in district of gampaha, sri lanka.to compare wuchereria bancrofti (w. bancrofti) infection rates of culex quinquefasciatus, using dissection and pcr-elisa in two consecutive time periods (from 2007 to 2008 and from 2008 to 2009).023646302
elimination of lymphatic filariasis: mass drug administration in endemic areas of (bidar district) karnataka-2008.lymphatic filariasis is a mosquito transmitted disease, caused by parasitic worm wuchereria bancrofti. global programme for elimination of lymphatic filariasis was established in early 2000. the strategy recommended by the world health organization is annual mass drug administration (mda) of single-dose of diethylcarbamazine 6 mg/kg (dec), distributed to inhabitants of filariasis endemic areas, excluding children below 2 years of age, pregnant women, and seriously ill persons, and morbidity mana ...023293434

action of diethylcarbamazine in vitro on infective larvae of wuchereria bancrofti.infective larvae of wuchereia bancrofti were obtained from laboratory infected culex fatigans and maintained in serum containing diethylcarbamazine. there was no difference in the survival time of these larvae and larvae maintained in control serum without diethylcarbamazine. in one of the three experiments reported the survival time of the larvae was much longer than in the other two experiments. it is suggested that this may have been due to the presence of filarial antibodies which killed the ...195813584736
