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.

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.

Preparation of Ecofriendly Formulations Containing Biologically Active Monoterpenes with Their Fumigant and Residual Toxicities against Adults of Culex pipiens

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Different mixtures of monoterpenes (ketone, alcohol, and alkene) were loaded on paper discs and wax and their knockdown activities were evaluated against Culex pipiens adults. Some individual monoterpenes were also evaluated by residual toxicity technique.
