Experimental Transmission of Wuchereria Bancrofti to Monkeys
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1979Infective larvae of Wuchereria bancrofti from laboratory-raised Culex pipiens fatigans and Aedes togoi mosquitoes fed on human volunteers in Jakarta, Indonesia (J strain) and Kinmen Island, China (K strain) were introduced into Taiwan monkeys (Macaca cyclopis) by subcutaneous inoculation, by foot puncture, or by permitting infected mosquitoes to feed ...

Lymphatic pathology in Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaraemic infections
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995To determine the extent of lymphatic disease in persons infected with Wuchereria bancrofti who were microfilaraemic, we examined the superficial lymphatics of the legs by scintigraphy. In 4 endemic control subjects and in 10 of 14 clinically asymptomatic microfilaraemic individuals, lymphoscintigraphy revealed one major channel of lymphatic drainage in

Microfilarial periodicity of Wuchereria bancrofti in Vanuatu
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003A study on the relationship between the microfilarial periodicity of Wuchereria bancrofti and vector biting activity was carried out in Penama province, Vanuatu from February to April 1999, to enable the design of a more efficient strategy to control filariasis transmission. The microfilarial periodicities of 22 W. bancrofti antigen-positive volunteers

Epidemiology of Wuchereria bancrofti in Leogane, Haiti
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988A survey for Wuchereria bancrofti in Leogane, Haiti, revealed that 140 of 421 individuals (33%) had a patent infection, of which 40% lived in the suburban outskirts of the city. The median microfilaria density was 19.1 per 20 mm3 of blood for suburban dwellers compared with only 8.8 for those living in the city. The vector, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say),

Abstract Thick blood films are dried for 9–12 hours and are then stained for 1 hour in Giemsa diluted 1 in 50 with phosphate buffer solution at p H 7.2. This technique reveals constant colour contrasts between the microfilariae of W. malayi and W. bancrofti which help considerably towards species identification. The main points of difference are

Wuchereria bancrofti antigenaemia in Sri Lanka.
Tropical medicine & international health : TM & IH, 1999The prevalence of Wuchereria bancrofti antigenaemia determined in 353 subjects in Matara, Sri Lanka by Og4C3 ELISA was 20.7%. Positive rates obtained with the same subjects by 1 ml Nuclepore filtration and 60 microl thick blood smear were 11.3% and 7.9%, respectively. Antigen levels were positively associated with microfilaria counts.
