Filarial Periodicity

چکیده
Thu periodicity of the fever in infections with \ \ Filaria bancrofti in this country is not strictly periodic or regular. The parturition cycles of different adult female worms may fail to be simultaneous, whilst some parturition cycles may fail to produce fever or other symptoms. Every attack does not always mean fever, nor is every filarial attack of fever followed by lymphatic manifestations. Textbooks on tropical medicine do not often draw attention to afebrile infestations with F. bancrofti, but such cases are not uncommon. The two following may be cited as examples:?

Filarial Antigenemia and Loa loa Night Blood Microfilaremia in an Area Without Bancroftian Filariasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Implementation of mass drug administration for lymphatic filariasis (LF) has been delayed in central Africa because of incomplete mapping and coendemic loiasis. We mapped two regions in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that were suspected to have LF. Night blood samples were collected from 2,724 subjects in 30 villages. Filarial antigenemia rates by card test exceeded 1% in 28 villages (ran...

He pointed out the coincidence of the time of biting of the mosquito Culex jatigans, with that of the crowding of the filarial embryos in the peripheral circulation. McKenzie (1881) was able to demonstrate the reversibility of the periodicity of the microfilariae by reversing the sleeping and the waking habits of the infected human host. He also noted the coincidence of the biting hours of the ...

متن کاملOn the nature of solutions of the difference equation $mathbf{x_{n+1}=x_{n}x_{n-3}-1}$
We investigate the long-term behavior of solutions of the difference equation[ x_{n+1}=x_{n}x_{n-3}-1 ,, n=0 ,, 1 ,, ldots ,, ]noindent where the initial conditions $x_{-3} ,, x_{-2} ,, x_{-1} ,, x_{0}$ are real numbers. In particular, we look at the periodicity and asymptotic periodicity of solutions, as well as the existence of unbounded solutions.
