| development of the timor filaria in aedes togoi: preliminary observations. | developmental stages of the timor filaria recovered from experimentally infected aedes togoi mosquitoes are described. mosquitoes were dissected and examined for larvae beginning 1 1/2 days and continuing daily for 9 days after they had fed on a carrier on the island of flores, indonesia. timor microfilariae develop rapidly to third-stage larvae within the thoracic muscles of a. togoi: the first molt occurs at 3 1/2 days, the second molt as early as 5 1/2 days, and infective forms are found at 6 ... | 1976 | 12255 |
| draft genome of brugia pahangi: high similarity between b. pahangi and b. malayi. | efforts to completely eradicate lymphatic filariasis from human population may be challenged by the emergence of brugia pahangi as another zoonotic lymphatic filarial nematode. in this report, a genomic study was conducted to understand this species at molecular level. | 2015 | 26350613 |
| development of a facile system for mass production of brugia malayi in a small-space laboratory. | brugia malayi is one of the important lymphatic filarial nematodes that cause elephantiasis and disability in humans in the asian region. mass production at any stage of this nematode in both small laboratory animal hosts and mosquito vectors is still necessary in order to continue various research aspects. this study elucidated on the use of nonblood feeding or the autogenous ochlerotatus togoi (thailand strain) and male mongolian jird (meriones unguiculatus) system. this has brought about a lo ... | 2013 | 23820603 |
