| the susceptibility of liberian culex quinquefasciatus to wuchereria bancrofti in sri lanka. | strains of culex quinquefasciatus collected in liberia showed low susceptibility to wuchereria bancrofti from liberian donors. however, when the same mosquito strains were fed on w. bancrofti donors from sri lanka they showed equally high susceptibility as sri lankan c. quinquefasciatus simultaneously fed on the same donors. a liberian strain did not respond to selection for refractoriness. thus the strains of w. bancrofti from liberia and sri lanka differ in their ability to infect specific mos ... | 1980 | 7015636 |
| [use of levamisole in w. bancrofti filariasis]. | 16 african patients with diagnosed w. bancroft's filariasis admitted to pedro kourí tropical medicine institute were subjected to a therapeutic management with levamisole: 300 mg as starting dosage, and 150 mg/day for seven days. 11 patients had been previously treated with several courses of diethylcarbamazine (dec), but a low microfilaremia persisted in them. in the other 5 patients the only medication used was levamisole. a rapid fall in microfilaria concentrations was found from the first da ... | 1980 | 7017841 |

| antibody-dependent cell-mediated effects in bancroftian filariasis. | the nature of immunoglobulin and effector cells involved in the antibody-dependent cell-mediated adhesion and cytotoxicity to wuchereria bancrofti larvae has been investigated. human neutrophils and eosinophils purified from peripheral blood by metrizamide gradients readily adhered to the parasites in presence of igg fraction of sera from majority of elephantiasis cases with amicrofilaraemia and many of the endemic normals. the cells from normal, microfilariae and elephantiasis cases were equall ... | 1981 | 7019047 |

| further studies on the development of wuchereria bancrofti in laboratory animals. | in an attempt to obtain a small animal laboratory model for wuchereria bancrofti mongolian gerbils and hamsters were infected with third-stage larvae of strains of the parasite from indonesia and china. gerbils were necropsied at 7 to 591 days and larvae recovered up to 219 days. the third molt occurred on or before 10 days and worms found after 14 days were in the fourth stage. more worms were recovered early in the infection (7 to 30 days) than in older infections. the worms were usually recov ... | 1981 | 7020095 |
| associations in filarial infections in man in the savanna zones of mali and upper volta. | in 14 villages located in the west african savanna belt, 1,305 people were examined for microfilariae in blood and skin. the results indicate that the associations between filariae in infected patients are not the result of chance alone. the frequency of associations between wuchereria bancrofti and tetrapetalonema perstans was highly significant, whereas onchocerca volvulus appeared to be associated with w. bancrofti only in the absence of t. perstans. | 1981 | 7020450 |

| the utility of human filarial serum in the detection of circulating antigen. | the utility of human filarial serum immunoglobulin (fsi) in detecting circulating antigen in filarial sera was studied by counter immunoelectrophoresis (ciep) and the indirect haemagglutination test (ihat). ciep was found to be better than ihat. 23 out of 30 sera from persons with microfilaeremia and one of 30 clinical cases of filariasis, but none of the normal sera or sera from those with helminths other than filariae, showed the presence of circulating filarial antigen in ciep. fsi was fracti ... | 1981 | 7021659 |
