To assess the performance of the immunochromatographic test for filariasis, adult Wuchereria bancrofti worms were incubated under different conditions. The tests were strongly positive with incubation fluids from both living and mechanically damaged females. Negative results were observed with incubation fluids from all male worms and from intact dead females. Key-words: Wuchereria bancrofti. A...
problem in tropical countries like India1. Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori are the three nematodes responsible for the filariasis. Of these, only W. bancrofti and B. malayi are found in India. The disease has a predilection for lower limbs, spermatic cord and epididymis2. The breast3, thyroid4, body fluids5 and skin6 are unusual sites for filariasis. Oral or perioral invol...
en 1994, 125 carcases of camel (100 from isfahan and 25 from yazd) in slaughter - houses were studied for parasitic infections. seventy percent of the camels were infected with hydatid cyst and half of the males (50%) had testicular filaria identified as dipetalonema evansi. all the infected male camels except 3, demonstrated sheathed rnicrofilariae in their peripheral blood smears. although so...
BACKGROUND Parasitic infections are prevalent among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated whether prenatal exposure to malaria and/or helminths affects the pattern of infant immune responses to standard vaccinations against Haemophilus influenzae (Hib), diphtheria (DT), hepatitis B (Hep B) and tetanus toxoid (TT). METHODS AND FINDINGS 450 Kenyan women were tested for malaria, ...
BACKGROUND Parasitic infections, which are among the most common infections worldwide, disproportionately affect children; however, little is known about the impact of parasitic disease on growth in very early childhood. Our objective was to document the prevalence of parasitic infections and examine their association with growth during the first three years of life among children in coastal Ke...
BACKGROUND Wuchereria bancrofti (Wb) and Mansonella perstans (Mp) are blood-borne filarial parasites that are endemic in many countries of Africa, including Mali. The geographic distribution of Wb and Mp overlaps considerably with that of malaria, and coinfection is common. Although chronic filarial infection has been shown to alter immune responses to malaria parasites, its effect on clinical ...
Filarial nematodes (superfamily Filarioidea) are responsible for an annual global health burden of ∼6.3 million disability-adjusted life-years, which represents the greatest single component of morbidity attributable to helminths affecting humans. No vaccine exists for the major filarial diseases, lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis; in part because research on protective immunity against f...
