Failed attempts at experimental transplantation and transmission of nocturnally-periodic simian Loa from monkey to man
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes unsuccessful attempts to induce a nocturnally-periodic infection with simian Loa in a human volunteer (the author of this paper) by means of 1. Transplanting adult simian Loa worms from a wild drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus) to man; and 2. Infecting the same volunteer by sub-cutaneous inoculation with infective larvae of simian Loa from a laboratory-bred, experimentally infected Chrysops silacea.

Current considerations on a Loa loa simian reservoir in the Congo.
Human filariasis due to Loa loa is confined to the tropical rain-forest of Africa. In the same area, simian populations are infected with parasites which have no clear-cut morphological differences with human Loa and exhibit a nocturnal microfilarial periodicity (Duke and Wijers, 1958). Chrysops lungi and C. centurionis are probably responsible for their transmission among monkeys (Duke, 1955)....

متن کاملThe Effect of Lyophilization on Light Transmission of Amniotic Membrane: A Comparison with Rabbit Cornea
Background & Aims: Amniotic membrane persists for a long time after ocular transplantation (as corneal substitute) and can affect light transmission (transparency). The aim of this study was to evaluate the transparency of amniotic membrane after freeze-drying (lyophilization) and to compare the results with transparency of rabbit cornea. Methods: Transparency of rabbits’ corneas and fresh and ...
متن کاملTransmission and Reflection Characteristics of a Concrete Block Wall Illuminated by a TM-polarized Obliquely incident wave
Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...
متن کاملExperimental Attempts to Transmit Infectious Mononucleosis to Man *
Knowledge concerning the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis has been sharply limited by the failure to reproduce all the features of the disease in the experimental animal. A comprehensive study evaluating the results of previous investigations of its causation and the attempts to transmit it to many laboratory animals, including the monkey, has been published by Wising"4 and will not ...
