| experimental transmission of subperiodic wuchereria bancrofti to the leaf monkey (presbytis melalophos), and its periodicity. | infective larvae of nocturnally subperiodic wuchereria bancrofti were obtained from laboratory-raised aedes togoi mosquitoes which had fed on an infected human volunteer from kanchanaburi, thailand, and 471 of them were inoculated subcutaneously into the inguinal regions of an immunosuppressed presbytis melalophos. microfilaremia was first detected 287 days after inoculation, and 77 days later, at 364 days of infection, the number of microfilariae determined at 2-hour intervals reached a maximum ... | 1982 | 6805349 |
| seroepidemiology of bancroftian filariasis in the seychelles islands. | wuchereria bancrofti is the only human filarioid present in the seychelles archipelago. the last parasitological survey carried out in mahé revealed a microfilaraemia rate of 3.6%. serum samples from 417 native individuals living in mahé were tested for the presence of filarial antibodies by elisa method, using crude soluble extract of brugia pahangi adult worm as antigen. the results seem to show a proportion of the population (17%) has been exposed to w. bancrofti (with od values greater than ... | 1982 | 7048670 |
| the examination--time/dose interval in the provocation of nocturnally periodic microfilariae of wuchereria bancrofti with diethylcarbamazine and the practical uses of the test. | the administration of diethylcarbamazine (dec) in the daytime in areas where microfilariae (mf) of wuchereria bancrofti and brugia malayi exhibit nocturnal periodicity provokes mf to enter the peripheral blood. the importance of relating the dose of dec and time when the blood specimen is taken is emphasized. the main practical uses of this provocative day test are as a routine diagnostic tool, in estimating prevalence and density of mf in a community, as a preliminary screening method for asses ... | 1982 | 7048671 |
| cytologic detection of parasitic disorders. | parasitic diseases are common in developing countries; yet they are infrequently diagnosed in cytologic material. six cases are described where routine cytologic examination identified the parasites and suggested the diagnosis. there were three cases of entamoeba histolytica infection of the female genital tract and one each of hydatid cyst of the brain, strongyloides stercoralis infection of the lung and filarial infection of the urinary bladder. to our knowledge, cytologic diagnosis of hydatid ... | 1982 | 7048830 |
| detection of filarial antibodies in malayan and bancroftian filariasis by the indirect fluorescent antibody test, using different filarial antigens. | indirect fluorescent antibody tests (ifat) using wuchereria bancrofti infective larvae as antigen had the highest positivity rates in detecting malayan and bancroftian filariasis as compared to ifat using antigens prepared from 5 other animal filarial species, brugia pahangi, dirofilaria immitis, dipetalonema viteae, litomosoides carinii and onchocerca gutturosa. this study also recommends the use of human filarioids as the source of antigen in serological tests. however, before b. malayi and es ... | 1982 | 7051338 |
| evaluation of the diethylcarbamazine provocative test in the diagnosis of wuchereria bancrofti infections in the nigerian savanna and the effects on dipetalonema perstans. | large scale filariasis surveys in rural areas for microfilaraemia, especially of periodic types such as wuchereria bancrofti are known to cause considerable administrative, technical and social problems. the present investigation was carried out in the population of two villages in the malumfashi district of the northern nigerian savanna. from the survey results, the sensitivity and specificity of two techniques-day-time diethylcarbamazine (dec) provocative test by blood smear and concentration, ... | 1982 | 7051456 |

| identification of some common infective filarial larvae in malaysia. | infective larvae of wuchereria, brugia, breinlia, dirofilaria and setaria species from an experimental vector, aedes togoi, are compared. the distinctive bubble-like caudal papillae of wuchereria bancrofti are readily distinguishable from the protuberant ones of brugia spp; the 'ear-like' papillae of breinlia are distinct from the 'knob-like' ones of dirofilaria or the 'thorn-like' terminal papilla of setaria. | 1982 | 7069185 |
| endemic filariasis on a pacific island. i. clinical, epidemiologic, and parasitologic aspects. | the clinical and parasitologic aspects of filariasis were investigated in 459 inhabitants of a south pacific island endemic for subperiodic wuchereria bancrofti filariasis. episodes of filarial fevers, usually with concomitant lymphangitis and/or lymphadenitis, were experienced by 26%. lymphobstructive lesions, manifest in the later decades of life, were present in 12 with elephantiasis and 24 with hydroceles. microfilaremia was detectable by membrane filtration of 1 ml of blood in 33% of person ... | 1982 | 7125061 |
| ige antibodies are more species-specific than igg antibodies in human onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis. | to explore the relative species specificities of the ige and igg antibody responses to helminth infections in man, we studied four pools of sera from patients infected with wuchereria bancrofti, brugia malayi, onchocerca volvulus or ascaris lumbricoides and ten individual sera from patients with onchocerciasis. ige antibodies were detected by radioallergosorbent test (rast) analysis and igg antibodies by a staphylococcus protein a radioimmunoassay (staph a-ria). analysis of the binding curves wi ... | 1982 | 7199027 |
| [intake of microfilariae by the vector in the case of a low microfilareamia (author's transl)]. | the study of the intake of microfilariae of dipetalonema dessetae by aedes aegypti leads to two conclusions with respect to the microfilaraemia: --there is no concentration of microfilariae in the uptake of blood by aedes. --the microfilariae are nearly homogeneously distributed in the vertebrate host blood available to the vector for feeding. such a distribution of microfilariae in the cutaneous blood supply of the host gives the maximum chance for a mosquito to become infected when taking a bl ... | 1982 | 7200752 |
| successful cryopreservation of wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae. | a fast freezing technique developed by james (1981) significantly improved the yield of schistosome larvae that could be stored in liquid nitrogen. this was adapted by ham et al. (1981) to the freezing of microfilariae of onchocerca spp. with excellent results. they found 70 to 80% of the cryopreserved larvae remained viable using this method and since then ham (personal communication) has successfully applied the same technique to brugia malayi microfilariae. the further application to wucherer ... | 1982 | 7048649 |

| cryopreservation of the microfilariae of brugia malayi, dirofilaria corynodes, and wuchereria bancrofti. | methods are presented for the cryopreservation of a sheathed microfilaria, brugia malayi, and an unsheathed species, dirofilaria corynodes. the former survived best when frozen at the rate of -0.8 degree or -0.5 degree c per minute using 9% dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) as the cryopreservative. approximately 52-79% of the thawed microfilariae developed to the third stage in aedes aegypti mosquitoes versus 79% of the unfrozen specimens. for d. corynodes the optimum freezing rate was -2 degrees or -5 ... | 1983 | 6824119 |
| filariasis in west irian, indonesia: a survey of six villages. | a survey of 1,551 inhabitants in six villages of west irian was undertaken to determine the presence and distribution of wuchereria bancrofti and other filariae. results confirmed the presence of bancroftian filariasis only in low-lying inland villages and its absence from coastal villages. microfilariae were detected in thick blood films taken during evening hours in 48 of 168 (28.5%) persons in senggo, and 65 of 190 (34.2%) in tamnem, a neighboring village situated to the south of the central ... | 1983 | 6881423 |
| sir patrick manson's studies on the transmission and biology of filariasis. | in the obscurity of amoy, south china, patrick manson first recognized that a bloodsucking arthropod can harbor--and presumably transmit--organisms of human disease: in particular, that the house mosquito is an intermediary of the filarial parasite wuchereria bancrofti. manson published his find in 1878 and within two years discovered that the parasite's "embryos" (microfilariae) exhibit "nocturnal periodicity," i.e., they absent themselves from the blood during the day and reappear at night coi ... | 1983 | 6131527 |
| 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 |
| ige responses in human filariasis. ii. qualitative characterization of filaria-specific ige. | crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis (crie) was used to characterize human ige antibody responses to filarial parasites by using antigens derived from brugia malayi (bm) adult worms. a reference pool of patient sera was initially used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of crie. because igg-blocking antibodies interfered with ige binding in certain sera, all sera were preabsorbed with protein a-sepharose. as little as 50 ng of specific ige antibody (determined by quantitative radioallergo ... | 1983 | 6193193 |

| prenatal allergic sensitization to helminth antigens in offspring of parasite-infected mothers. | total and filaria-specific immunoglobulin e (ige) levels were studied in cord blood from infants born in madras, india, where filariasis and intestinal helminth infections are highly endemic. increased total ige levels were observed in 82% of 57 cord sera tested (geometric mean 12.6 ng/ml; range 1-1,900 ng/ml). 33 of these sera also contained ige antibodies specific for filarial antigens as determined by solid-phase radioimmunoassay. comparison of ratios of filaria-specific ige to total ige in p ... | 1983 | 6343433 |
| filarial chyluria with opportunistic infections. | a patient with long-standing filarial chyluria developed severe lymphocytopenia, extensive mucosal candidiasis and disseminated cryptococcosis when given small doses of prednisolone and azathioprine, for the treatment of a co-existing chronic active hepatitis. this report suggests that patients with chyluria are particularly susceptible to the complications of immunosuppressive therapy. this susceptibility is probably due to the immunological abnormalities associated with chyluria. | 1983 | 6344355 |
| [wuchereria bancrofti and asthmatic pulmonary signs in upper egypt]. | a biological and clinical survey was conducted in 25 patients with bancroftian filariasis, consulting the el nikhela health centre, assiout governorate, upper egypt. eleven patients showed asthmatic bronchitis. according to parasitological and serological data (specific antibodies level, total ige), those clinical manifestations cannot be considered as a part of the "eosinophilic lung" syndrome. in this area, where wuchereria bancrofti has been recently introduced and where there is an increasin ... | 1983 | 6345984 |
| verminous aneurysm caused by filaria. | aneurysms caused by atherosclerosis are relatively frequent, as a consequence of the high incidence of this degenerative disease of the arteries. other types of aneurysm, for example, those of infectious etiology, are more uncommon. bacterias and fungi are able to cause aneurysms in several parts of the arterial tree. stengel et al (1943), in a review of world literature described 217 cases of mycotic aneurysms. the stedman's medical dictionary refers to a special type of aneurysm observed in ho ... | 1983 | 6346961 |

| low dosage diethylcarbamazine administered by villagers for the control of timorian filariasis. | the results of mass treatment using low dosage diethylcarbamazine (dec) in three small villages in west flores, indonesia, endemic for brugia timori are described. dec was distributed on a weekly basis by motivated persons in the community to nearly all villagers for 18 months. an educational programme was developed which focused on describing the relationship between microfilaraemia, vector and disease manifestations, the danger of repeated attacks of adenolymphangitis, and the efficiency of de ... | 1984 | 6380025 |
| detection of circulating antigen in bancroftian filariasis by sandwich elisa using filarial serum igg. | the utility of the igg fraction of human filarial serum immunoglobulin in detecting circulating antigen by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was studied. 27 of 33 sera from persons with microfilaraemia, 19 of 30 sera from clinical cases of filariasis, 4 of 30 sera from normal persons from a region endemic for filariasis showed the presence of circulating filarial antigen. all the 20 normal sera from the area where filariasis was not endemic gave negative reaction for filarial an ... | 1984 | 6389673 |
| parasitologic and clinical features of bancroftian filariasis in a community in east sepik province, papua new guinea. | bancroftian filariasis has been reported in several areas of papua new guinea. the epidemiologic features and natural history of wuchereria bancrofti infection in this geographic region, however, have not been well-defined. the objective of this study was to assess the parasitological and clinical features of bancroftian filariasis in a community in east sepik province, papua new guinea. in a village of 99 individuals, the overall prevalence of microfilaremia was 68%. the microfilarial carrier r ... | 1984 | 6391222 |
| parasitological, serological, and clinical studies of wuchereria bancrofti in limbe, haiti. | a survey for wuchereria bancrofti in limbe, haiti (est. pop. = 10,500) revealed that 17% (231/1,450) had a patent infection. nearly half of those surveyed harbored fewer than 10 microfilariae (mf) per 20 mm3 of finger-prick blood; the median mf density for females and males was 12.4 and 9.5, respectively. parasitemias occurred as early as age 4. antibody titers greater than or equal to 1:20 against adult d. viteae antigen were observed in 38% of microfilaremic individuals and in 29% of amicrofil ... | 1984 | 6391223 |
| detection of circulating antigen in bancroftian filariasis by using a monoclonal antibody. | a monoclonal antibody designated gib 13-5-2 (gib 13) and directed against the cattle parasite onchocerca gibsoni was used in a two-site immunoradiometric assay (irma) for detection of circulating antigen in the sera of wuchereria bancrofti-infected individuals from sri lanka and papua new guinea. the microfilaremic patients were, in general, serum antigen positive by the gib 13 irma. among the amicrofilaremic patients, 47% of those with lymphedema, lymphangitis, hydrocele, etc., and 25% of those ... | 1984 | 6391224 |
