| microfilarial periodicity analysis of the survey data from six localities in indonesia. | the survey data of microfilarial periodicity of 2 species of filariae brugia malayi at 4 localities, mahang and lampihong in south kalimantan, bengkulu in south sumatra, palolo in central sulwesi, and the species of brugia timori at 2 localities, flores and alor islands in nusa tenggara were analysed by using aikat and das's modified statistical method. nine cases at mahang and five cases at lampihong were recognized as same group of non-periodic b. malayi and 1 case at mahang was considered to ... | 1979 | 483016 |
| detection of filaria-specific igg4 antibodies using brugia rapid test in individuals from an area highly endemic for brugia timori. | the filarial parasite brugia timori is of great public health importance in some islands of eastern indonesia. to establish a simple serological test for the identification and post-treatment monitoring of areas endemic for b. timori, a rapid immunochromatographic dipstick test (brugia rapid, br) was evaluated on microfilaraemic and amicrofilaraemic individuals. this test is based on the detection of anti-filarial igg4 antibodies that react with a recombinant brugia malayi antigen (bmr1). in our ... | 2004 | 15099812 |
| pcr-based detection and identification of the filarial parasite brugia timori from alor island, indonesia. | brugia timori is widely distributed on alor island, indonesia, where it causes a high degree of morbidity. the hhai tandem repeat of b. timori was found to be identical to that of b. malayi, for which sensitive pcr-based assays have already been developed. using one of these assays, a single microfilaria (mf) of b. timori, present in a spot of dry blood on filter paper, could be detected. the assay was equally sensitive in the detection of b. timori and b. malayi. when the collected mosquitoes w ... | 2002 | 12625936 |
| lymphatic filariasis and brugia timori: prospects for elimination. | brugia timori is a pathogenic filarial nematode of humans, replacing the closely related species brugia malayi on some islands in eastern indonesia. recent studies on alor island show that, locally, b. timori is still of great public health importance, causing mainly acute filarial fever and chronic lymphedema. pcr-based assays to detect parasite dna, in addition to assays for detecting specific antibodies that have been originally developed for b. malayi, can be used efficiently as diagnostic t ... | 2004 | 15246315 |
