Current Gaps in Survey Design and Analysis for Molecular Xenomonitoring of Vector-Borne Neglected Tropical Diseases: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Trop Med Int HealthABSTRACT Objectives Molecular xenomonitoring is a surveillance method for vector‐borne diseases where vectors are tested for molecular pathogen markers. Testing is typically on pools (groups) of vectors. Molecular xenomonitoring is a sensitive and efficient complement to human‐based surveillance.

Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2023 Abstract Filariasis caused by nematodes affects the structure and function of lymphatic vessels. Lymphedema due to lymphatic blockage and lymphadenitis is the usual mode of presentation of filariasis. However, rarely extralymphatic filariasis has been reported in uncommon sites, including skin and soft tissue. Wuchereria (W.) bancrofti is the

Most of the response elicited against Wolbachia surface protein in filarial nematode infection is due to the infective larval stage [PDF]
, 2004 Immune responses to the intracellular Wolbachia bacteria of filarial nematodes are thought to contribute to the pathologic process of filarial infection.

Pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of a single co-administered dose of diethylcarbamazine, albendazole and ivermectin in adults with and without Wuchereria bancrofti infection in Cote d\u27Ivoire [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundA single co-administered dose of ivermectin (IVM) plus diethylcarbamazine (DEC) plus albendazole (ALB), or triple-drug therapy, was recently found to be more effective for clearing microfilariae (Mf) than standard DEC plus ALB currently used ...

IDCases, 2018 Filariasis is a global health problem and is a major social and economical burden in tropical countries in Asia, Africa and few of the South American countries [1,2]. In india, filariasis endemic in number of states including Bihar, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is found chiefly along the banks of rivers and sea coastal areas. We
