Lymphatic pathology in Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaraemic infections

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995
To 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, 2003
A 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, 1988
A 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),

Susceptibility of aposymbiotic Culex quinquefasciatus to Wuchereria bancrofti

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1983
Abstract Larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus originating from Kenya were reared in 0.025 mg/ml tetracycline hydrochloride. Some of the resulting progeny were shown, by electron microscopy and crossing experiments, to have been rendered free of the rickettsia like symbiont Wolbachia pipientis and from these progeny, symbiont-free lines were ...

Transplacental Transmission of Wuchereria bancrofti in Haitian Women

The Journal of Parasitology, 1993
To document the occurrence of transplacental transmission of microfilariae and to determine how frequently it occurred, umbilical cord blood samples and placental tissues were collected from 22 microfilaria-positive women in an area with endemic Wuchereria bancrofti. Microfilaria (mf) counts in the women ranged from 1 to 3,820 mf/ml. Microfilariae were

Microfilaria of Wuchereria Bancrofti in Bone Marrow Smear

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1976
Microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti were detected in seven cases of anemia in persons with asymptomatic filariasis. In three cases microfilariae could not be detected in the blood. Their presence in bone marrow may indicate the ability of microfilariae to cross the vessel wall.

Ultrastructural characterization of intracellular bacteria of Wuchereria bancrofti

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2001
Ultrastructural observations on the structure and distribution of endosymbiotic bacteria within the tissues of Wuchereria bancrofti are described. In female worms the organisms were observed in the lateral cords of the hypodermis, oocytes, developing eggs and in intrauterine microfilariae.

THE TREATMENT OF FILARIASIS (WUCHERERIA BANCROFTI)

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1944
Filaria infections and elephantiasis have not been of especial concern to American physicians despite the widespread distribution of this condition throughout the world. Only at Charleston, S. C., the endemic focus of the United States, has the disease been an immediate problem.

Wuchereria bancrofti antigenaemia in Sri Lanka.

Tropical medicine & international health : TM & IH, 1999
The 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.
