| molecular characterization of a truncated antigen (wb14) of sxp-1 of wuchereria bancrofti from four endemic regions in india. | wb14 of wuchereria bancrofti, an orthologue of brugia malayi sxp-1 and w. bancrofti sxp-1, was amplified from genomic dna of w. bancrofti microfilaria collected from four distant geographical locations in india viz., vellore, bhubaneshwar, pondicherry and sevagram. the gene was sub-cloned in a prokaryotic vector prset and expressed in escherichia coli as a truncated protein (approximately 23kda). the nucleotide sequence of the gene is 98% similar to that of wbsxp-1 and is found to be intron-less ... | 2010 | 20138869 |
| precontrol observations on lymphatic filariasis & geo-helminthiases in two coastal districts of rural orrisa. | lymphatic filariasis (lf) is a major public health problem in india, accounting for 40 per cent of the global burden. the world health organization has launched a global programme to eliminate lf by 2020 and india is a signatory to it. orissa, an eastern indian state has long been known to be endemic for lf. prior to implementation of mass drug administration programme it is important to collect baseline data on filariasis and geo-helminthiases in the state. the present cross-sectional survey wa ... | 2005 | 16456251 |
| a clinico-epidemiological perspective of lymphatic filariasis in satyabadi block of puri district, orissa. | lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem in the coastal district of orissa. however, no systematic studies have been done to document the prevalence of microfilaraemia/disease in different regions of the state. therefore, the present cross sectional study was undertaken during 1996-97 to obtain information on the clinical and epidemiological status of the disease in satyabadi block area of puri district, known to be endemic for filariasis. | 2001 | 11785453 |

| detection of a new focus of brugia malayi infection in orissa. | 526 people were surveyed in a village called chudamani, in balasore district of orissa, for detection of asymptomatic microfilaria (mf) carriers. of these 36 (6.8 per cent) were cases found to harbour mf; 19 cases had brugia malayi, 4 wuchereria bancrofti and 5 cases had mixed infection. in 8 cases, species could not be ascertained. for the first time after 1955, a focus of b. malayi has been detected in orissa. | 1989 | 2681391 |
