| mass chemotherapy with diethylcarbamazine for the control of bancroftian filariasis: a twelve-year follow-up in northern trinidad, including observations on mansonella ozzardi. | a microfilaria survey was conducted in trinidad in 1992, 12 years after mass treatment with spaced doses of diethylcarbamazine citrate (dec-c) for the control of bancroftian filariasis; 348 persons were examined using thick blood smears and a membrane filtration technique. they included 104 who had participated in the mass chemotherapy campaign in 1980. no wuchereria bancrofti microfilariae were detected among 66% of the population examined. in 1980, 86 of 592 persons examined were found to be i ... | 1995 | 7872448 |
| the prevalence and distribution of mansonella ozzardi in coastal north trinidad, w.i. | a day blood smear survey for mansonella ozzardi in the north coast communities of trinidad recorded a prevalence of 4.8% in 4,488 persons examined. prevalence rates were highest in the four western-most communities, where the vector, culicoides phlebotomus, is a severe nuisance problem. prevalence rates increased with age and were higher in males than in females. mean microfilaria densities were low in both sexes up to 50 years of age but in older males the density increased with age. wuchereria ... | 1979 | 382471 |
| ivermectin treatment of mansonellosis in trinidad. | this study was conducted to determine the efficacy and long-term effects of an intervention programme based on a single dose of ivermectin (6 mg) administered during a double-blind placebo study of 40 persons with mansonella ozzardi infections in blanchisseuse, trinidad. after four years, ivermectin reduced microfilariae levels by 82.2%. short- and long-term effectiveness of the drug is contingent upon the initial microfilariae levels of the patient. we conclude that a single dose of ivermectin ... | 1999 | 10639847 |
