Of the different lesions caused by Filaria baiicrofti in man, filarial lymphangitis is the most common, and unfortunately the most troublesome affection. The actual mechanism by which filarial lymphangitis is brought about not hitherto been clearly understood. The authors have been engaged on a detailed study of the ;etiology of lymphatic obstruction in fi'ariasis during the past two years, bot...

Filariasis is the disease which is caused by a group of filarial worms. They cause high morbidity and mortality among humans. The proper management is needed for preventing the morbidity and mortality by laboratory diagnostic methods. In past the blood smear was only the choice for detection of filarial worms, but now a days many recent techniques like Ultrasonography, PCR, ELISA, Membrane Filt...

Cystatins of parasitic nematodes are well-described pathogenicity factors which contribute to downregulation of T-cell proliferation of their hosts and induce anti-inflammatory cytokine responses. We compared the immunomodulatory effects of two cystatins of the filarial nematodes Onchocerca volvulus and Acanthocheilonema viteae with two homologous proteins of the free-living nematode Caenorhabd...

BACKGROUND The knowledge of the current prevalence of lymphatic filariasis and its transmission will be helpful in its elimination. Thus, the present study is aimed to determine its prevalence among hydrocele patients which is a common presentation in chronically infected cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred patients suffering from hydrocele admitted to the surgical ward were included in ...

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 ...

The discovery that endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria play an important role in the pathophysiology of diseases caused by filarial nematodes, including lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis (river blindness) has transformed our approach to these disabling diseases. Because these parasites infect hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide, understanding host factors involved in the pathogenes...

One hundred and sixty-two individuals from a community in Kwale District, Kenya, endemic for bancroftian filariasis, were selected for a study on the IgE response to filarial antigen (prepared from adult Brugia pahangi). Following clinical and parasitological examination, the individuals were grouped into different categories, based on the presence/absence of microfilaraemia, the presence/absen...

Wuchereria bancrofti, Dirofilaria immitis, and Dirofilaria repens are filarial nematodes transmitted by mosquitoes belonging to Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles genera. Screening by vector dissection is a tiresome technique. We aimed to screen filarial parasites in their vectors by single and multiplex PCR and evaluate the usefulness of multiplex PCR as a rapid xenomonitoring and simultaneous differ...
