Filariases are infections caused by distinct species of nematodes. These infections are transmitted through insect bites and primarily affect lymph nodes and skin. Filariases are classified as neglected diseases and affect millions, ... administration, have helped to diminish the incidence of filariases.

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis revealed the presence of precipitin antibody in all of 6 dogs and the 1 cat infected with Dirofilaria immitis and in the serum of 17 of 24 individuals living in a setting of hyperendemic subperiodic bancroftian filariasis. Antigens used in the test were prepared from microfilariae and adult male D. immitis. Some humans and animals had antibodies to both antigens while others had antibodies against microfilariae or adult worms only. The presence of soluble circulating ...

Patients harbouring Loa loa and/or Mansonella perstans infections, or presenting typical filarial symptomatology, were treated with mebendazole, a drug shown to be efficient in other parasitoses. Of the patients who took the drug during 21 days and provided regular blood samples, 84% showed a significant decrease in their L. loa microfilaraemia and 100% in their M. perstans microfilaraemia, with a concomitant improvement in the clinical manifestations and no side reaction to drug administration. ...

Although many nematodes produce disease in humans, three produce most human disease worldwide, and they are emphasized in this article. These include the Onchocerca volvulus that infects the skin and the lymphatic residing Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. The complex biology of these nematodes is outlined and includes discussions of life cycles, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. Loiasis and dirofilariae are also presented.

The filarial parasites that affect humans most seriously include Onchocerca volvulus, Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Loa loa. In general, these species cause disease that is debilitating long before it is fatal, producing clinical manifestations such as general malaise, pruritus and lichenification of the skin, lymphangitis, elephantiasis and blindness1. As a result, infection with any one of these organisms is physically, as well as economically, devastating. Currently, the pharmacological ...

The traditional method of diagnosing filarial infections is to examine blood or skin samples for microfilariae and for many this is still the standard procedure. However, since the present global campaign to eliminate lymphatic filariasis new diagnostic tools have emerged like PCR, antigen detection using finger-prick blood taken during the day and ultrasound to visualize adult worms. The last two can be applied in endemic countries with limited resources and enable the detection of early infections. ...

The discovery of techniques to localize and recover Wuchereria bancrofti parasites from patients and the use of molecular tools to probe the genomes of all the filariae have permitted unprecedented advances in understanding the biology of these parasites. Recognition that the immune responses of most infected patients are 'contrainflammatory' suggests that their primary role is to contain or limit inflammation around the parasite, not promote it. Pathology appears to develop either in response to ...

Since diethylcarbamazine at the dosages used to treat filarial infections has little direct toxicity, most of the post-treatment reactions (termed Mazzotti reactions in onchocerciasis) result from the immunological inflammatory mechanisms activated in the process of clearing and killing the skin-swelling or blood-borne microfilariae. These reactions may be either localized to the skin, eyes or lymphatics or generalized systemically (e.g. headache, fever, adenopathy , arthralgia, tachypnoea, tachycardia, ...
