| ten years of kala-azar in west bengal, part i. did post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis initiate the outbreak in 24-parganas? | following resurgence in bihar of epidemic kala-azar, outbreaks of the disease were identified simultaneously in two separate foci about 500 km apart in west bengal in 1980. while the outbreak in one of these foci, in northern west bengal, was the result of a direct extension of the bihar epidemic, the source of parasite in the other (in the village of bandipur in the south of west bengal) remained unknown until a case of nodulo-ulcerative post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (pkdl) was located in ... | 1992 | 1638662 |
| breeding places of phlebotomus argentipes annandale and brunetti (diptera: psychodidae) in west bengal, india. | a search for the breeding places of phlebotomus argentipes annandale and brunetti was undertaken in west bengal during 1988-1990. sugar flotation technique was applied for the isolation of larvae from the collected soil samples and emergence trap and sticky paper trap were used for the collection of adults. soil incubation method was followed for the collection of emerged adults from the soil sample. a total 131 soil samples were analysed by flotation technique which produced 19 immature stages- ... | 1991 | 1841217 |
| blood meal analysis of phlebotomus argentipes in eight districts of west bengal. | eight districts of west bengal (india) were surveyed for the biting habit of phlebotomus argentipes using agar gel diffusion method. blood meal indices were found different in the two biotopes, human dwellings and cowsheds. a total of 395 blood meals were analyzed. the blood meal indices in the human dwellings were human 68.8 per cent, cow 38.9 per cent, both human and cow 10.2 per cent, others 2.5 per cent and in the cowsheds: human 19.7 per cent, cow 91.6 per cent, human and cow 13.9 per cent ... | 1990 | 2230024 |

| susceptibility status of phlebotomus argentipes to ddt, dieldrin and malathion in hoogly, west bengal. | susceptibility tests were carried out with ddt (4%), dieldrin (0.4%) and malathion (5%) using the who test kits against phlebotomus argentipes sandflies collected from dankuni, situated in hoogly district, 21 km from calcutta, west bengal. p. argentipes was found to be susceptible to all the three insecticides tested. lt 50 was calculated to be 10.6 minutes, 10.2 minutes and 2.8 minutes for ddt, dieldrin and malathion against the flies. | 1995 | 8866990 |

| epidemiology of visceral leishmaniasis in india. | kala-azar has re-emerged from near eradication. the annual estimate for the incidence and prevalence of kala-azar cases worldwide is 0.5 million and 2.5 million, respectively. of these, 90% of the confirmed cases occur in india, nepal, bangladesh and sudan. in india, it is a serious problem in bihar, west bengal and eastern uttar pradesh where there is under-reporting of kala-azar and post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis in women and children 0-9 years of age. untreated cases of kala-azar are ass ... | 1999 | 10416321 |
| population ecology of phlebotomus argentipes (diptera: psychodidae) in west bengal, india. | the population abundance of phlebotomus argentipes annandale & brunetti was studied between january 1986 and december 1987 at 2 sites in west bengal, india, in relation to 8 ecological parameters (air temperature, rainfall, windspeed, relative humidity, soil moisture, soil temperature, soil ph, and soil organic carbon). sand flies were present throughout the year with minimum abundance in winter months and maximum during monsoon and postmonsoon months. correlation analysis examined pairwise rela ... | 1999 | 10534952 |
| sandfly survey in nainital and almora districts of uttaranchal with particular reference to phlebotomus argentipes, vector of kala-azar. | kala-azar continues to pose a major public health problem in bihar, west bengal and parts of eastern uttar pradesh in india causing great deal of morbidity and mortality. during 1998, several kala-azar cases from sub-himalayan region were treated in delhi hospitals. and a suspected focus of kala-azar was subsequently reported from this area. therefore a preliminary sandfly survey was carried out during october, 1999 in 18 randomly selected villages at different altitudes in nainital & almora dis ... | 2001 | 11898464 |
| host preference of phlebotomus argentipes and phlebotomus papatasi in different biotopes of west bengal, india. | host preference phlebotomus argentipes and phlebotomus papatasi in different biotopes was investigated in two highly endemic kala-azar districts of west bengal, india for a better understanding of the transmission dynamics. blood meals of 304 p. argentipes and 206 p. papatasi, collected from different biotopes from two kala-azar affected districts in west bengal, were tested against seven different antisera by modified ouchterlony gel diffusion techniques. it appeared that host preference of p. ... | 2005 | 16506438 |
| mapping of risk prone areas of kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) in parts of bihar state, india: an rs and gis approach. | the kala-azar fever (visceral leishmaniasis) is continuing unabated in india for over a century, now being largely confined to the eastern part of india mainly in bihar state and to some extent in its bordering states like west bengal and uttar pradesh. two study sites namely patepur block in vaishali district with high endemicity in northern part and lohardagga block in lohardagga district with absolute non-endemicity in southern part of bihar were selected for the study with the following obje ... | 2006 | 17024860 |
