| lymphedema secondary to filariasis. | a 1-year-old immunodeficient boy developed brawny edema of the left foot. lymphoscintigraphy revealed no evidence of left inguinal activity following pedal injection of tc-99m-sn phosphate. over the next two months, the patient developed lymphedema on the right and repeat scintigraphy demonstrated no movement of isotope from the dorsum of either foot. subsequent studies identified microfilaria in a nocturnal blood smear, which were thought to represent brugia beaveri acquired by mosquito transmi ... | 1985 | 3987161 |
| brugia lepori sp. n. (filarioidea: onchocercidae) from rabbits (sylvilagus aquaticus, s. floridanus) in louisiana. | brugia lepori sp. n., a filarial nematode from the abdominal lymphatics and subcutaneous tissues of rabbits (sylvilagus aquaticus, s. floridanus), from st. tammany parish, louisiana, is described. brugia lepori is of moderate size (males 12 to 19 mm, females 39 to 45 mm) and within the genus most closely resembles brugia beaveri of the raccoon, from which it can be distinguished by its larger size, smaller spicules, and smaller microfilaria which has a shorter cephalic space. brugia lepori is on ... | 1984 | 6502360 |
| brugia beaveri: microscopic morphology in host tissues and observations on its life history. | the filaria brugia beaveri is a parasite of raccoons (procyon lotor) in louisiana. its microfilariae, which circulate in the peripheral blood without any periodicity, develop to the infective stage in mosquitoes. the filaria can be transmitted in the laboratory to other raccoons, the domestic cat, and jirds (meriones unguiculatus). the prepatent period is 70-107 days depending on the definitive host. adult worms are found in lymphatics and associated subcutaneous tissues of raccoons and in the h ... | 1995 | 7707200 |
| molecular phylogenetic studies on filarial parasites based on 5s ribosomal spacer sequences. | this paper is the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic study on filarial parasites (family onchocercidae) which includes 16 species of 6 genera: brugia beaveri ash et little, 1962, b. buckleyi dissanaike et paramananthan, 1961; b. malayi (brug, 1927) buckley, 1960; b. pahangi (buckley et edeson, 1956) buckley, 1960; b. patei (buckley, nelson et heisch, 1958) buckley, 1960; b. timori partono et al, 1977; wuchereria bancrofti (cobbold, 1877) seurat, 1921: w. kalimantani palmieri. purnomo, denn ... | 1994 | 9140481 |

| brugia-like filarial infection acquired in the united states. | a mature male filarial worm was found in sections of an enlarged, painful retroauricular lymph node removed from an 18-year-old resident of new jersey. on the basis of its morphology and location in an obstructed lymph vessel, the worm was identified as probably a species of brugia, possibly brugia beaveri, a parasite of the raccoom. the infection in this case resembled one reported earlier from the same general area of the country, new york city. in the absence of demonstrable microfilaremia in ... | 1977 | 557908 |
