| the periodicity of brugia malayi in south thailand. | the periodicity of brugia malayi microfilariae were studied in the two endemic areas of the south thailand i.e. in pattani and narathiwat provinces. it was found that in pattani province the microfilariae had a markedly nocturnal periodicity character while in narathiwat province they were of a nocturnal sub-periodic type. moreover, the microfilariae of periodic form in giemsa stained blood films usually had "unsheathed" appearance (71.5%), while those of sub-periodic type were mostly of "sheath ... | 1977 | 918710 |
| brugia malayi in a naturally infected cat from narathiwat province, southern thailand. | brugia malayi-like from an infected cat from narathiwat province, southern thailand was identified intensively by microfilarial morphometry, acid phosphatase activity, and adult morphology. the results indicated that both microfilarial and adult characteristics conformed to the topotypic b. malayi. | 2001 | 11944722 |
| pcr based method for identification of zoonostic brugia malayi microfilariae in domestic cats. | the survey of 326 human blood samples in the endemic area of surat thani and narathiwat, the provinces in the south of thailand, revealed that 5 of them were infected with brugia malayi. similarly, 53 feline blood samples were also investigated and found that 15 of the domestic cats were also infected with b. malayi. upon the examination of human and feline blood specimens, a pair of human and domestic cat stayed in the same house and region. the periodicities of human b. malayi and feline b. ma ... | 2002 | 12030763 |
| bionomics studies of mansonia mosquitoes inhabiting the peat swamp forest. | the present study was conducted in the years 2000-2002 to determine the bionomics of mansonia mosquitoes, vectors of nocturnally subperiodic brugia malayi, inhabiting the peat swamp forest, "phru toh daeng", narathiwat province, thailand. fifty-four species of mosquitoes belonging to 12 genera were added, for the first time, to the list of animal fauna in the peat swamp forest. mansonia mosquitoes were the most abundant (60-70%) by all collection methods and occurred throughout the year with a h ... | 2006 | 17124985 |
| a high resolution melting real time pcr for mapping of filaria infection in domestic cats living in brugian filariosis-endemic areas. | we present here a real time pcr with high resolution melting (hrm) analysis for determining the prevalence and distribution of filarial species in domestic cats residing in brugian filariosis endemic areas of narathiwat province, thailand. filarial species can be clearly distinguished in a single well using a single pair of primers. blood samples were taken from a total of 2039 domestic cats living in endemic areas. microfilariae were detected in 5.7% of the sample, while the overall prevalence ... | 2014 | 24462253 |
| lymphatic filariasis caused by brugia malayi in an endemic area of narathiwat province, southern of thailand. | lymphatic filariasis caused by brugia malayi is highly prevalent in narathiwat province of thailand. the world health organization has aimed to eliminate the disease globally by the year 2020. to achieve the goal, assessment of the real disease situation should be integrated as part of the control program. the preliminary data for long-term study of the disease situation in this endemic area is necessary for the elimination program of lymphatic filariasis. by using the conventional microscopic m ... | 2001 | 11529333 |
| scanning electron microscopic study of nocturnally subperiodic brugia malayi (filarioidea: onchocercidae), narathiwat, southern thailand. | scanning electron microscopic (sem) observations were made on the adult females and males of nocturnally subperiodic brugia malayi (narathiwat, southern thailand) from 8-month-old intra-peritoneally infected jirds (meriones unguiculatus). descriptions of the morphological surfaces of anterior end, vulva, body cuticle, anus, posterior end of females and anterior end, body cuticle, cloaca, caudal papillae, spicules, sheath, posterior end of males were demonstrated. the comparison among these and o ... | 1987 | 3660065 |
| impact of a filariasis control program on intestinal helminthic infections; a pilot study in narathiwat province, thailand. | this study was conducted in 9 villages located in endemic areas for brugian filariasis in narathiwat province, thailand. parasitological and anthropometric examinations were cross-sectionally performed to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections of 539 villagers. paired stool samples were collected before and after mass treatment for the filariasis control program in 150 participants in order to study the impact of the filariasis control program on intestinal helminthiasis. the r ... | 2004 | 15272746 |
