| temporal variations in biting density and rhythm of culex quinquefasciatus in tea agro-ecosystem of assam, india. | temporal changes in the biting density and host-seeking periodicity of culex quinquefasciatus, the vector of bancroftian filariasis, were studied for two years in the tea agro-ecosystem of assam, india. average biting density of the vector varied from 0.8/hour in december to 13.3/hour in march. minimum temperature was found to have a limiting effect on the biting density of the vector mosquitos. multiple regression analysis showed that the rainfall and minimum temperature were significant factor ... | 1999 | 10928380 |
| transmission of bancroftian filariasis in tea agro-ecosystem of assam, india. | tea industry is a labor intensive agro-industry and filariasis is mostly localized among the tea garden workers in assam. the workers live inside the gardens in colonies. studies conducted in two cosecutive years revealed that among the host seeking culex quinquefasciatus average infection rate was 4.6% and with 2.1 larvae per mosquito. the overall prevalence of infective mosquitos was 0.8% with average l3 load of 2.0 per mosquito. the probability of infected mosquitos surviving to have complete ... | 2001 | 11944721 |
| a focus of lymphatic filariasis in a tea garden worker community of central assam. | a survey for lymphatic filariasis was conducted among tea garden workers of central assam. of the 656 night blood samples examined, 31 were found positive for wuchereria bancrofti parasite (microfilaria rate 4.7%). microfilaria rate was higher in male (7.3%) than females (2.1%). culex quinquefasciatus was incriminated as vector mosquito. | 2004 | 15907073 |

| bancroftian filariasis in namrup tea estate, district dibrugarh, assam. | filariasis survey in a randomly selected tea estate of district dibrugrah revealed 6.7% infection of wuchereria bancrofti in labour population with microfilaria (mf) rate of 7.6% in males and 5.9% in females. the mf rate increased progressively with the age which however, dropped in 31-40 age group of males and in 41-50 age group of females. chronic filariasis diseases rate was 2.7%. the involvement of genitals in manifesting chronic filariasis was significantly higher than of the lower extremit ... | 1998 | 10389521 |
| filariasis in the labour population of a tea estate in upper assam. | preliminary random and mass blood surveys undertaken between 2000-0100 h in a tea garden of upper assam revealed more than 8 per cent positivity for microfilaria (mf) of wuchereria bancrofti. the mf carriers were considerably high among males (73) as compared to females (48). culex quinquefasciatus was incriminated as a vector with man hour density of 68.5 in human dwellings (indoors). the detection of mf in children who had never moved from the area and filaria larvae in vector mosquitoes colle ... | 1995 | 7672834 |
| microfilarial periodicity of wuchereria bancrofti in assam, northeast india. | wuchereria bancrofti has shown nocturnal periodicity in india and other endemic countries of the world except pacific regions where non-periodic or diurnal sub-periodic forms have been reported. presence of sub-periodic form of w. bancrofti in andaman and nicobar islands, india and a case report of sub- periodic form of w. bancrofti from mysore, india provide basis for exploring the periodicity pattern of microfilaria of w. bancrofti prevalent in assam, northeastern region of india. state of ass ... | 2015 | 26418650 |
