متن کاملInfluence of anti-filarial chemotherapy strategies on the genetic structure of Wuchereria bancrofti populations.
Lymphatic filarial (LF) parasites have been under anti-filarial drug pressure for more than half a century. Currently, annual mass drug administration (MDA) of diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin in combination with albendazole (ALB) have been used globally to eliminate LF. Long-term chemotherapies exert significant pressure on the genetic structure of parasitic populations. We investigated ...
متن کاملDetection of filarial antigen using antibodies raised against Wuchereria bancrofti microfilarial SDS soluble antigen.
Polyclonal antibodies raised in mouse ascitic fluid against Wuchereria bancrofti microfilarial antigens (Wb Mf SDS S Ag) were studied for their diagnostic use in bancroftian filariasis using a dip stick, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In sandwich ELISA, 100% of microfilaremic sera (30 out of 30) 53% of acute filarial sera (7/13), 40% of subacute filarial sera (6 out of 15), 13% of chronic f...
