Efficacy of repeated doses of ivermectin against Mansonella perstans

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002
Treatment of Mansonella perstans infection, although seldom necessary, is difficult. In a 3 year's trial of normal and high-dose annual and 3-monthly ivermectin treatment against Onchocerca volvulus, the effects on M. perstans were recorded and related to the cumulative dose received. The World Health Organization's African Programme for Onchocerciasis

Analysis of the 24-h microfilarial periodicity of Mansonella perstans

Parasitology Research, 2008
The Mansonella perstans microfilarial (mf) periodicity in peripheral blood was analysed in a group of 32 healthy individuals from an endemic community in Uganda. The majority of individuals had maximum mf intensity during the first and minimum during the last 12 h of the day. Mean mf ratios (i.e.

[Mansonella perstans filariasis].

Parassitologia, 2008
Mansonella perstans filariasis is widely present in Africa and equatorial America and its pathogenicity has been recently reconsidered. Although M. perstans infection has been considered a minor filariasis, remaining asymptomatic in most of infected subjects, more recent studies have shown that M.

Dipetalonema Perstans and Mansonella Ozzardi in Indians of Southern Venezuela

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1976
Microfilariae were observed in 25 of 187 blood leucocyte-culture preparations made for chromosome studies on 28 Piaroa and 159 Yanomama Indians living near the Brazilian border of Amazonas, Venezuela. Among the Yanomama, 17 (10.7%) were infected, all with Mansonella ozzardi. Among the Piaroa, 8 (28.6%) were infected--3 with M.

Transfusional Mansonella perstans microfilariasis.

Parassitologia, 2004
Mansonella perstans filariasis is widely distributed across the center of Africa and equatorial America. We describe a case of post-transfusional M. perstans microfilariasis in a young child, affected with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, admitted in Goundi Hospital in South of Chad. A decrease of M. perstans microfilariasis in the patient's blood

Mansonella perstans Isolated on Aspiration Puncture of a Salivary Gland

Acta Otorrinolaringologica (English Edition), 2008
Chronic parasitosis due to nematode worms (filariae) in tissue are very common in tropical ecosystems; their larvae (microfilariae) have been isolated in lymph vessels, skin, and blood. The case reported here is of a Nigerian patient suffering severe renal failure and admitted owing to the presence of a right submandibular gland abscess.

Comparison of different anthelminthic drug regimens against Mansonella perstans filariasis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
Mansonella perstans filariasis is widely present in Africa and equatorial America and its pathogenicity has recently been reconsidered. Effective treatment is lacking and there is no consensus on the optimal therapeutic approach. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different drug regimens on M. perstans infection.

Hypogonadism and ecdysteroid production in Loa loa and Mansonella perstans filariasis

Acta Tropica, 1989
Possible endocrinological repercussions of infection with Loa loa and Mansonella perstans filariae were studied in Gabonese subjects. Microfilaremic males were compared with amicrofilaremic controls. In the infected group 13/105 subjects (12%) presented only abnormally low serum levels of testosterone (less than 4 ng/ml), 25/105 (24%) only abnormally ...
