Filariasis is a widespread tropical disease caused by a group of nematode parasites that
can survive for many years in immunocompetent hosts. The paradox of filariasis has always …

Experimental concurrent infection with two or more parasite species in mammalian host
models may result in heterologous antagonistic and synergistic interactions ranging in …

ABSTRACT A homemade enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)(Academic Medical

The development of antifilarial antibody responses is a characteristic feature of infection with
filarial parasites. It should be possible to exploit this fact to develop tools to monitor the …

Phosphocholine (PC), an immunodominant molecule present on a wide range of organisms,
including filariae, evokes antibody responses that lead to false-positive reactions in routine …

There has been considerable research on the biochemistry and immunology of many
human, veterinary and laboratory animal filariae, with a view to understanding pathogenic …

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

A set of cross‐reactive antigens is described which are present in somatic extracts and in‐
vitro secretions of the filarial nematodes Brugia pahangi and B. malayi. A monoclonal …

The development of antibodies to infective stages of the filarial parasite, Wuchereria
bancrofti, with age of the host human population was studied by immunofluorescence …

The major structural proteins of the cuticle of the filarial nematode parasites Brugia malayi
and Brugia pahangi were identified by extrinsic iodination and sensitivity to clostridial …
