1. Survey of Bancroftian filariasis infection in humans and Culex mosquitoes in the western Brazilian Amazon region: implications for transmission and control
IntroductionThe aim of this work was to identify possible lymphatic filariasis foci in the western Brazilian Amazonian that could be established from the reports of Rachou in the 1950s. The study was conducted in three cities of the western Brazilian Amazon region - Porto Velho and Guajará-Mirim (State of Rondônia) and Humaitá (State of Amazonas).MethodsF

2. Development of physiological resistance and its stage specificity in Culex quinquefasciatus after selection with deltamethrin in Assam, India
The study investigated the development and stage specificity of physiological resistance to insecticides in a colony of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes, which are vectors of bancroftian filariasis in India, after selection with deltamethrin. Resistance was selected by exposing the larvae to the concentration of deltamethrin that ca

3. Situação epidemiológica da filariose linfática bancroftiana no município de Maceió, estado de Alagoas. / The epidemiological situation of bancroftian lymphatic filariasis in the municipality of Maceió, state of Alagoas.
Bancroftian lymphatic filariasis is a neglected parasitic illness, known popularly as elephantiasis, because it is one of its chronic clinical manifestations. It is an anthroponotic disease caused by a nematode helminth of the species Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold, 1877) (Spirurida: Onchocercidae). Bancroftian filariasis occurs in 83 countries localized in t

4. Laboratory and field evaluation of an oviposition trap for Culex quinquefasciatus(Diptera: Culicidae)
An ovitrap (BR-OVT) based on physical and chemical stimuli for attracting gravid Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) females was developed and evaluated under laboratory and field conditions. Attractants were assayed using alternative chamber bioassays prior to being used in the BR-OVT oviposition trap. A significant preference of gravid females for

5. Modelos lineares generalizados aplicados à filariose bancroftiana.
A Filariose Bancroftiana, ocorre como um dos maiores problemas de saúde púbica nos trópicos e afeta cerca de 100 milhões de indivíduos. Ë transmitida por um mosquito e causada pela Wuchereria bancrofti que vive nos vasos linfáticos e linfonodos dos seres humanos de todas as idades e ambos os sexos. O substrato anátomo-patológico da doença é a linf

6. Phenotypic and genotypic analyzes of the autoagglutinating strains of Bacillus thuringiensis / Análises Fenotípicas e Genotípicas de Estirpes Autoaglutinantes de Bacillus thuringiensis
Twenty eight autoagglutinating strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were studied by using through phenotypic and genotypic methods, aiming to evaluated the intra-specific similarity and homogeneity between them. Strains were isolated from different ecologic niches and distinct sites and could not be serologically typed. Biological activity was evaluated through

7. OcorrÃncia de infecÃÃo filarial em portadores de hidrocele moradores de Ãrea endÃmica para bancroftose
It is generally accepted that testicular hydrocele is the most common clinical manifestation related to bancroftian filariasis. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate filarial active infection in 259 patients with hydrocele and inhabitants from a bancroftian filariasis endemic area between 1999 and 2000. The final diagnosis of hydrocele was ba

8. Tratamento coletivo da filariose com dose Ãnica de dietilcarbamazina em residentes de Ãrea endÃmica do Recife, Pernambuco:um estudo antes e depois / Collective treatment for filariasis with first dose dietilcarbamazin in residents of endemic areas of Recife, Pernambuco: a before-after study
In Recife, filariasis is considered endemic since 1950âs decade and remains as one of the major expression residual centers for autochthonous transmission of bancroftian filariasis in Brasil. The collective treatment in medium and high-prevalence areas, as WHO recommended strategy, has been integrated to antivectorial interventions. This study is part of an

9. Circulating filarial antigen in the hydrocele fluid from individuals living in a bancroftian filariasis area - Recife, Brazil: detected by the monoclonal antibody Og4C3-assay
The purpose of this study was to examine the circulating filarial antigen (CFA) detected by the monoclonal antibody (mAb) Og4C3-ELISA in paired samples of serum and hydrocele fluid from 104 men with hydrocele, living in an endemic area of Wuchereria bancrofti. Nocturnal blood specimens were filtered and examined for microfilariae (MF) and ultrasound was used

10. Polimorfismo de genes de HLA classe II (DRB1, DQA1 e DQB1) e associaÃÃo com doenÃas parasitÃrias na populaÃÃo do Estado de Pernambuco
The population from the Northeastern region of Brazil origined from the mixture of Caucasian Europeans, Africans and Indians. However, despite of many studies done with Brazilian populations, we know few about the contribution of each ethnic group in the formation of the actual Northeastern population infered by the polymorphism of the HLA loci. In this stud
