Pattern of Mosquito Borne Parasitic Infection in the Night Blood Samples of Patients with Elevated TNF-α of> 5.0 pg/ml

Study Background: Plasmodium spp., (Protozoan) and Wuchereria bancrofti (Nematode) are transmitted by mosquitos to cause insect borne diseases known as malaria Lymphatic filariasis/Elephantiasis. Apart from the social implication of these parasitic infections can also elicit immune responses. Aim Objective: This work was therefore designed determine pattern mosquito infection in night blood samples patients with elevated TNF-α > 5.0 pg/ml. Materials Methods: Seventy (70; aged 31 – 76 years; Male- 35; Female-35) volunteers plasma TNFα 5.8 ±0.7 pg/including age-matched control participants ( n= 50 ; 2.2 ± 0.3 pg/ml). All were negative Acid Fast Bacilli, ant-HCV, HBsAg HIV tests recruited for study. Night sputum obtained participants. Blood sample used determination TNFα, HIVp24ag-Ab, anti-HCV, ELISA identification Geimsha thick film staining while demonstration Bacilli Ziehl Neelsen staining. Results: The results showed a frequency individuals pg/ml 31.4%(22) against 18%(9) subjects pg/ml.. 5.71%(4) and2%(1) respectively. overall both test include: 33.3% (40)Plasmodium 4.2%(5) bancrofti.The gender distribution 20%(24) 13.3%(16) spp.,in female males respectively 1.7%(2) 2.5%(3) females Conclusion: revealed increase spp. found be possible variations regional distributions.
