Seroprevalence of lymphatic filariasis at Puducherry [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2010
Lymphatic filariasis is a major vector borne disease prevalent in the tropics. This study was carried out to estimate the seroprevalence of lymphatic filariasis in and around Puducherry using indirect haemaggulutination test. Of the 5056 clinically suspected cases, 2214 (43.78%) were found to be positive, of whom majority were males (57.8%) belonging ...

Binary mixtures of Vanderbilt University allosteric agonist thermolysis components act as volatile spatial repellents for malaria vector mosquitoes

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, Page 185-195, January 2025.
Vanderbilt University allosteric agonists hyper‐stimulate odorant receptor co‐receptors and raise the potential for the development of novel spatial repellents for vector/pest management. Thermolysis‐derived volatile VUAA‐based active ingredients yield high repellency in mobility‐based behavioral assays.

Buruli ulcer: An epidemiological update from Japan

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 3-10, January 2025.
Abstract Japan is one of the rare non‐tropical countries with documented cases of Buruli ulcer (BU). Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense has been identified as the causative agent. The first report of BU in Japan dates back to 1982, with sporadic reports thereafter.

Evaluating the Evidence for Lymphatic Filariasis Elimination [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2019
In the global drive for elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF), 15 countries have achieved validation of elimination as a public health problem (EPHP). Recent empirical evidence has demonstrated that EPHP does not always lead to elimination of transmission (EOT).

Risk factors for lymphatic filariasis in two villages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Little is known regarding risk factors for lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Central Africa. To expand on what is known, we studied the epidemiology of LF in two endemic villages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
