filaria

Manson focused his time on searching for filaria in blood taken from his patients.

This model is also used for other mosquito borne infections including filaria and dengue.

He spent his early years researching filaria (a small worm that causes elephantiasis).

This species was first described from Water buffalo in 1879, and named Filaria poeli.

The heartworm is a type of filaria, a small thread-like worm, that causes filariasis.

He discovered the filaria larvae in Bahia.

He conducted experiments on his gardener, Hin Lo, who was infected with filaria.

The villagers are all given a free health checkup and are investigated for basic infections like malaria and filaria.

Filaria haemorrhagica) - definition of Parafilaria multipapillosa (syn.

Osler's filaria is a parasitic nematode.

In its early days, Mambalam was affected by sanitation issues and was notorious for its filaria epidemics.

In March 2011 scientists settled the cause of death of Hachikō: the dog had terminal cancer and a filaria infection (worms).

Blood films are usually examined to investigate disorders of the blood and, occasionally, to look for parasites within the blood such as malaria and filaria.

Parasites & Vectors was established in 2008 as a merger of Filaria Journal and Kinetoplastid Biology.

Her mother contracted Filaria, which limited her social and personal activities, therefore Saro, Ferré's older sister, became responsible for the upbringing of the younger children.

Manson observed that filaria only developed as far as an embryo within the human blood and that the mosquito must have a role in the life cycle.

He spent 1901 in the West Indies, confirming Manson's discovery that filaria ( a small worm) transmitted by mosquitos was the cause of elephantiasis.

This species was first described in 1907 from the heart of a Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) from Cameroon, and named Filaria sagitta.

Lewis's pre-eminence as a microscopist led to his discovery, in 1869, in human urine, of one stage of the filaria parasite, later known as Wuchereria bancrofti.

Filaria haemorrhagica) in the Medical dictionary - by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Placing this under the microscope, I was gratified to find that, so far from killing the Filaria, the digestive juices of the mosquito seemed to have stimulated it to fresh activity."

The name was later changed to Filaria sanguinis hominis perstans, and later again shortened to Filaria perstans to comply with the binary system of nomenclature.

From this he began to work out the life cycle of filaria and through painstaking observation discovered that the worms were only present in the blood during the night and were absent during the day.

It was later discovered that the distribution of tropical lymphedema and filaria did not perfectly overlap, and researchers began to recognize that some forms of tropical lymphedema were not associated with filariasis.
