Minocycline as a re-purposed anti-Wolbachia macrofilaricide: superiority compared with doxycycline regimens in a murine infection model of human lymphatic filariasis [PDF]

, 2016
Lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis are parasitic helminth diseases, which cause severe morbidities such as elephantiasis, skin disease and blindness, presenting a major public health burden in endemic communities.

In Vitro Filaricidal Properties of Aqueous Extracts of Combretum nigricans (Combretaceae) on Onchocerca ochengi (Onchocercidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Aim. Onchocerciasis is an endemic parasitic disease in sub‐Saharan Africa that significantly impacts animal and human health. In Northern Cameroon, medicinal plants from the Combretum genus are used for onchocerciasis traditional treatment although there is no scientific evidence of their antifilarial potential. This study evaluates the in vitro macro‐

Treatment of the microfilaraemia of asymptomatic brugian filariasis with single doses of ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine or albendazole, in various combinations [PDF]

, 1999
Several new chemotherapeutic tools are now available for the control of lymphatic filariasis. Combinations of single doses of antifilarial drugs are generally superior to single drugs.

The Significance of Stochastic CTMC Over Deterministic Model in Understanding the Dynamics of Lymphatic Filariasis With Asymptomatic Carriers

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Lymphatic filariasis is a leading cause of chronic and irreversible damage to human immunity. This paper presents deterministic and continuous‐time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic models regarding lymphatic filariasis dynamics. To account for randomness and uncertainties in dynamics, the CTMC model was formulated based on deterministic model possible ...

An investigation of the disparity in estimates of microfilaraemia and antigenaemia in lymphatic filariasis surveys [PDF]

, 2015
The diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is based typically on either microfilaraemia as assessed by microscopy or filarial antigenaemia using an immuno-chromatographic test.

Wolbachia and Lymphatic Filarial Nematodes and Their Implications in the Pathogenesis of the Disease

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is an infection of three closely related filarial worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. These worms can cause a devastating disease that involves acute and chronic lymphoedema of the extremities, which can cause elephantiasis in both sexes and hydroceles in males.

Side Effects following School Deworming among School‐Age Children in Oti Region, Ghana

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Preventive chemotherapy with anthelminthic drugs is meant to control soil‐transmitted helminthiases, but some children may experience adverse reactions. Objective. This study investigated why some school‐age children did not receive the medication as well as the side effects experienced by those who did during the 2019 preventive ...
