THE BLOOD IN FILARIASIS. [PDF]
Since the discovery of the embryos of Filaria nocturna in the peripheral circulation by Lewis, in 1872, very few observers have devoted their attention to the changes in the blood associated with this disease. In 1894 Bancroft and Bancroft 1 noted a leucocytosis in filariasis and published the following blood counts, no differential blood counts being

A target repurposing approach identifies N-myristoyltransferase as a new candidate drug target in filarial nematodes [PDF]
Myristoylation is a lipid modification involving the addition of a 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristic acid, to the N-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a modification that promotes their binding to cell membranes for varied biological ...

Appraising the visibility, relevance and impacts of clinical pharmacology
Aims Clinical pharmacology (CP) used to be a strong medical and scientific field, but during the last three decades it seems to have lost some of its appeal. We reviewed the visibility, relevance and impact of CP and clinical pharmacologists across the globe and suggest ways to strengthen the discipline to address future pharmacotherapeutic challenges.

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana
Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
