Serpentine Movement of Filaria in Wet Mount Preparation: Aspirated from Breast Swelling

Filariasis is a common health problem in India and South East Asia. Heavily infected states in India are Utter Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Gujrat. About 95% of cases of lymphatic filariasis are caused by infectious of Wuchereria bancrofti in world followed by Brugia malayi and Brugia timori [1]. In India most of the disease is caused by two nematode...

Comparative analysis of ITS1 nucleotide sequence reveals distinct genetic difference between Brugia malayi from Northeast Borneo and Thailand.

Brugia malayi is one of the parasitic worms which causes lymphatic filariasis in humans. Its geographical distribution includes a large part of Asia. Despite its wide distribution, very little is known about the genetic variation and molecular epidemiology of this species. In this study, the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) nucleotide sequences of B. malayi from microfilaria-positive human ...

Moxidectin causes adult worm mortality of human lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi in rodent models.

Moxidectin is a macrocyclic lactone belonging to milbemycin family closely related to ivermectin and is currently progressing towards Phase III clinical trial against human infection with the filaria Onchocerca volvulus (Leuckart, 1894). There is a single report on the microfilaricidal and embryostatic activity of moxidectin in case of the human lymphatic filarial parasite Brugia malayi (Brug, ...
