چکیده
Sir,?In the issue for June 20th, 1898, there appeared a 1 letter from me asking for information on the above subject. ] was anxious to learn whether anyone had written upon Filarial Metamorphosis since Manson's book appeared.* No one replied to my enquiry except Dr. Patrick Manson, who directed me to a later work of his published in the Transactions 1 of the Linnean Society of London.f This bears the date March

Larvicidal potential of Cyathea species against Culex quinquefasciatus
Resistance to insecticides has persuaded researchers to find new methods to control Culex quinquefasciatus proliferation. Plants may be a source of alternative agents for mosquito control due to ever-growing insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors and environmental imbalance caused by synthetic insecticides. The present study was intended to study the larvicidal activity of selected Cyathea ...
متن کاملPersistence of Brugia malayi DNA in vector and non-vector mosquitoes: implications for xenomonitoring and transmission monitoring of lymphatic filariasis.
Xenomonitoring (detection of filarial larvae or their DNA in mosquitoes) is a sensitive marker for assessing the endemicity of filariasis and a useful tool for evaluating elimination programs. To examine the fate of microfilariae (mf) and filarial DNA in vector competent and non-competent mosquito strains, we compared the detection of Brugia malayi parasites by dissection and by quantitative re...
متن کاملXenomonitoring of Different Filarial Nematodes Using Single and Multiplex PCR in Mosquitoes from Assiut Governorate, Egypt
Wuchereria bancrofti, Dirofilaria immitis, and Dirofilaria repens are filarial nematodes transmitted by mosquitoes belonging to Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles genera. Screening by vector dissection is a tiresome technique. We aimed to screen filarial parasites in their vectors by single and multiplex PCR and evaluate the usefulness of multiplex PCR as a rapid xenomonitoring and simultaneous differ...

Discussion It is obvious from these results that there was a significant exposure,t.o filariasis in the I mine workers, resulting in the productiov of anti-filarial antibodies. In the case of IgGl it is possiblq that the antibody response was due to exposure tdin-coming infective larvae rather than infection with the adult parasite, as there is a n active infective larvae (Km. As previously not...
متن کاملMosquito Transcriptome Profiles and Filarial Worm Susceptibility in Armigeres subalbatus
BACKGROUND Armigeres subalbatus is a natural vector of the filarial worm Brugia pahangi, but it kills Brugia malayi microfilariae by melanotic encapsulation. Because B. malayi and B. pahangi are morphologically and biologically similar, comparing Ar. subalbatus-B. pahangi susceptibility and Ar. subalbatus-B. malayi refractoriness could provide significant insight into recognition mechanisms req...
