Filariose bancroftiana no Brasil

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1998
Foi feita revisão dos estudos sobre a distribuição geográfica e prevalências da filariose linfática bancroftiana no Brasil. Entre 1951 a 1958 foram realizados inquéritos hemoscópicos e entomológicos no País, sendo a transmissão autóctone comprovada em ...

Common parasite with uncommon associations

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2011
Filaariasis a quite common in some parts of the world including India. It has been reported as an incidental finding in cytology smears. Here we report three cases where microfilariae of Wuchereria Bancrofti were detected incidentally in bone marrow ...

Measurement of circulating filarial antigen levels in human blood with a point-of-care test strip and a portable spectrodensitometer [PDF]

, 2016
The Alere Filariasis Test Strip (FTS) is a qualitative, point-of-care diagnostic tool that detects Wuchereria bancrofti circulating filarial antigen (CFA) in human blood, serum, or plasma.

Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.
We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals. This

Insecticide resistance in Culex quinquefasciatus from Zanzibar: implications for vector control programmes [PDF]

, 2012
Background Zanzibar has a long history of lymphatic filariasis (LF) caused by the filarial parasite Wuchereria bancrofti, and transmitted by the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say. The LF Programme in Zanzibar has successfully implemented mass drug

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host–Parasite Metapopulation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Although parasites are well‐known for adaptively evolving in order to exploit their hosts, they may experience strong genetic drift during transmission bottlenecks when infecting a new host. Host population structure and host population bottlenecks can also lead to genetic drift effects in parasite populations, constraining their adaptive ...

A real-time PCR-based assay for detection of Wuchereria bancrofti DNA in blood and mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2006
We developed and evaluated real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for detecting Wuchereria bancrofti DNA in human blood and in mosquitoes. An assay based on detection of the W.

Further evidence of the cross-reactivity of the Binax NOW® Filariasis ICT cards to non-Wuchereria bancrofti filariae: experimental studies with Loa loa and Onchocerca ochengi [PDF]

, 2016
Background The immunochromatographic test (ICT) for lymphatic filariasis is a serological test designed for unequivocal detection of circulating Wuchereria bancrofti antigen.

PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.
