| ecological studies in madagascar of biomphalaria pfeifferi, intermediate host of schistosoma mansoni. 2. biology and dynamics in the non-endemic area of antananarivo. | the region of antananarivo, where schistosomiasis is not yet endemic, is compared to ambositra, a well established focus of s. mansoni, with regard to climate, hydrology and snail habitats. higher mean temperatures and a more pronounced dry season in antananarivo contribute to sometimes less favourable hydrological conditions. biomphalaria is found in very few and limited habitats. population dynamics were followed up in selected habitats and showed ecological parameters comparable to those of t ... | 1978 | 747438 |
| [plesiomonas shigelloides. 23 strains isolated from human stools in madagascar]. | twenty-three strains of plesiomonas shigelloïdes isolated from human stools in antananarivo are studied. ficklness of some biochemical characters is observed. ability to pathogenicity is tested on animals (cornea of guinea pigs, intestinal ligatured loops of rabbits). | 1978 | 747440 |

| the natural history of periodontal disease in man. the rate of periodontal destruction before 40 years of age. | this longitudinal study of randomly selected norwegian students and academicians has shown that 50% of the 17-year olds have lost no periodontal support, and the other 50% exhibited slight localized loss of attachment primarily on buccal surfaces of first molars and first bicuspids of both jaws. at 21 all students show one or more of these lesions as well as loss of attachment on interproximal surfaces. at 30 years of age the mean cumulative loss is still less than 1 mm. as they approach 40 year ... | 1978 | 282430 |
| loss of filarial larvae in a natural mosquito population. | analysis of log normal parasite densities of wuchereria bancrofti in the mosquito culex pipiens fatigans collected in the suburbs of colombo, sri lanka, has shown a decreasing parasite load with age of infection. the median density of microfilarial intake in the natural population was 10.3, but this had decreased to 2.6 by the infective stage. of the total microfilariae ingested, 51.9% were found in the thorax 12--17 hours after infection of the mosquitoes in the laboratory. further decrease in ... | 1978 | 367299 |

| a people's movement for self-reliance in sri lanka. | this paper describes the development and activities of the sarvodaya movement, a grass-roots mutual-aid movement based on traditional buddhist social values. started by high school students and teachers in 1947 as a community-service organization the movement is open to all individuals and has attracted thousands of volunteers in 1200 villages. sarvodaya shramadana emphasizes improvement in the standard of living through the development of local resources by the community itself, strengthening ... | 1977 | 12146244 |
| ergonomics for occupational hygienists in developing countries with examples from sri lanka. | occupational health problems in developing countries, especially those situated in the tropical zone, are difficult to define. the conditions are more adverse in unorganized small-scale industries. the application of ergonomic principles in the practice of occupational health in developing countries must be subject to all aspects of community health and impact of industrialization as well. ergonomics offers a broad concept to health scientists in developing countries. "systems ergonomics" is not ... | 1976 | 1030447 |

| [ecology of culex pipiens fatigans larvae in an area of high endemicity of bancroftian filariasis (author's transl)]. | culex pipiens fatigans in the main vector of bancroftian filariasis in the mayotte island (comores) where it imposes an important health problem. the breeding-sites of c. p. fatigans are either man-made (latrines, cesspools, various containers), or natural (polluted water of estuaries of some rivers). the man-made breeding-sites are not similarly distributed in the different localities of the island. their distribution varies according to the customs of the inhabitants, size and site of the comm ... | 1975 | 1096384 |
| feeding studies in ceylonese babies. | a study of the effects of 4 milk preparations on the early growth of low birth-weight newborns in ceylon is reported. the following parameters were studied: mortality; weight gain; tolerance, as indicated by the incidence of diarrhea and the presence of sugar in the stools; blood glucose levels; and blood urea and serum sodium levels. a powdered and partially skimmed cow's milk, nestogen, was used as it is available in the government hospitals throughout the island. 2 strengths constituted f ... | 1974 | 4499504 |
| entomological aspects of filariasis control in sri lanka. | historical events and suitable environmental conditions in the southwestern coastal areas of sri lanka have led to the establishment of a zone of endemic filariasis caused by wuchereria bancrofti and transmitted by culex pipiens fatigans. the previous brugia malayi foci, scattered over widely dispersed areas of the island, were apparently completely eliminated as a result of control of the mansonia vectors by the destruction of the larval host plants in their swamp habitats. control measures by ... | 1974 | 4619057 |
