INTRA-OCULAR parasites have been referred to as ophthalmological curiosities (Costi, 1934; Duke-Elder, 1940). Larvae of Filaria loa, Filaria bancrofti, Dracunculus medinensis, and Taenia solium have been observed only infrequently inside the eyeball. Taenia echinococcus infestation is by far the rarest of the parasitic diseases of the eye, only eleven cases having so far been reported in the li...

Acanthocheilonema (Dipetalonema) reconditum is a less pathogenic species of filaria from the superfamily Filarioidea, and which parasitizes in subcutaneous connective tissue dogs, hyenas jackals. The results epidemiological studies indicate zoonotic potential A. reconditum, bearing mind it can cause infections with clinical disorders humans.

A B S T R A C T Total and filaria-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were studied in cord blood from infants born in Madras, India, where filariasis and intestinal helminth infections are highly endemic. Increased total IgE levels were observed in 82% of 57 cord sera tested (geometric mean 12.6 ng/ml; range 1-1,900 ng/ml). 33 of these sera also contained IgE antibodies specific for flarial ...

An attempt to obtain the worms for examination failed, one disappearing into the tissues during section and the other being lost in the process of extraction in some unaccountable manner.
