Summary There was very little difference between the number of patients demonstrated to have microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti or in the number of microfilaria per smear as measured by scarification or by ordinary thick blood smears. Hourly thick blood smears using 20 cmm.

AbstractIvermectin, a parasiticide that long ago proved its worth in veterinary medicine, became one of the most effective tools for control programs against human filarial diseases in the 1980s. It is provided at no cost, is effective against microfilariae (blocking their transmission) and can be administered annually as a single oral dose with ...

Lymphangioadenopathy of filariasis
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1970Abstract Lymphographical findings in 34 cases of filarial chyluria, 3 of the prechyluric state, and one of filarial elephantiasis were analysed. Lymphography of 32 of the 34 showed specifically lymphatico-pelvic fistulae. This finding is characteristic of chyluria.

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a parasitic infection that is spread by mosquitos infected with worm larvae. Several factors will affect the global prevalence of LF in the future. A growing body of evidence suggests that climate change will influence the spread of parasitic diseases and their vectors. Lymphatic filariasis is the leading cause of permanent

Summary (1) A blood survey of Mauritius showed 11 per cent. of the population to have micro-filariae in samples taken at night. The only species of parasite found was Wuchereria bancrofti. (2) Eight per cent. of Mauritian recruits examined were infected, whereas 16 per cent. of a corresponding civilian group were infected.

Abstract Cases of bancroftian filariasis are reported from 2 areas in the east and west of The Sudan. Previously the disease has been known only in a small area in the central Sudan. The co-existence of onchocerciasis and bancroftian filariasis in eastern Sudan is described and the association of onchocerciasis and loaisis with clinical filariasis ...

Abstract An investigation involving 33 cases of filariasis in the district of Alanya (a Turkish port on the Mediterranean Sea), is reported, 15 per cent. of which showed nocturnal and diurnal periodicity. It is stated that 10 per cent. of the inhabitants of this district are affected by filariasis.

Filariasis is the infection of man or animals by long thin nematode worms called filariae. They occur in most of the warm moist parts of the world where there are the right kinds of insects to carry the infection from one host to another.

Filariasis is one of the major problems of public health in India, because of the many millions of people who are infected and because practical measures for its control have proved so difficult. The extent of the infection and the difficulties of control have been well shown in the excellent studies carried out under the National Filaria Control ...
