Assessing the Filariasis Causing Parasites in Adult Mosquitoes and the Vector Mosquito Larval Breeding in Selected Medical Officer of Health Areas in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of filariasis causing parasites in adult mosquitoes and vector mosquito larval breeding in four Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka. Adult female mosquitoes at their resting places were collected using a prokopack aspirator operated twice a day from 7.00 am to ...

Optimization of a Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay as a Point‐of‐Care Tool for the Detection of Wuchereria bancrofti in Human Blood in Tana River Delta, Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Introduction. Accurate detection of filarial parasites in humans and vectors is essential for the implementation and evaluation of Global and National Programs to eliminate lymphatic filariasis. Immunological methods to detect infection are available; however, cross‐reactivity issues have been reported in most of them.

Molecular Characterization of a Reemergent Brugia malayi Parasite in Sri Lanka, Suggestive of a Novel Strain

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Sri Lanka achieved elimination status for lymphatic filariasis in 2016; still, the disease remains a potential public health issue. The present study is aimed at identifying a subperiodic Brugia sp. parasite which has reemerged in Sri Lanka after four decades via molecular‐based analysis.

Acute eosinophilic glomerulonephritis with Bancroftian filariasis [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1979
A case is reported of Bancroftian filariasis and acute immune complex glomerulonephritis in a 44-year-old man. Renal biopsy showed microfilariae and large numbers of eosinophils in the glomeruli (eosinophilic glomerulonephritis). The absence of other aetiological factors suggests that the glomerulonephritis may have been of filarial origin.

Rift Valley Fever – assessment of effectiveness of surveillance and control measures in the EU

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Effectiveness of surveillance and control measures against Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in Mayotte (overseas France) and in continental EU were assessed using mathematical models. Surveillance for early detection of RVF virus circulation implies very low design prevalence values and thus sampling a high number of animals, so feasibility issues may ...

Evaluation of Actin‐1 Expression in Wild Caught Wuchereria bancrofti‐Infected Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Wuchereria bancrofti is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis transmitted by mosquito vectors. In the vector‐parasite interaction and among other proteins, actin‐1 has been implicated for successful transmission of the pathogen in laboratory‐controlled experiments.

Lymphatic filariasis in Brazil: epidemiological situation and outlook for elimination

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Since the World Health Assembly’s (Resolution WHA 50.29, 1997) call for the elimination of lymphatic filariasis by the year 2020, most of the endemic countries identified have established programmes to meet this objective.

A Comparison of Two Brazilian Populations of Culex quinquefasciatus (Say, 1823) from Endemic and Non-endemic Areas to Infection with Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold, 1877) [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
Culex quinquefasciatus is known to be an efficient insect host of Wuchereria bancrofti. In Brazil Cx. quinquefasciatus is widely distributed throughout the country and is often abundant in and around human habitations. In contrast, Bancroftian filariasis
