Loa loa: Latest Advances in Loiasis Research

Loa loa: Latest Advances in Loiasis Research by Jean Paul Akue
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 149 Pages | ISBN : 3031494490 | 17 MB

This comprehensive volume covers all aspects from the historical discovery of the filarial parasite Loa loa to the latest diagnostics and therapies for all forms of pathology used at the point of care. Current developments in these areas are also highlighted. Expert authors present the epidemiological impact of loiasis and the basic mechanisms underlying the disease in native populations and nonresidents of endemic areas. In addition to particulars on the immunology of the parasite, its general and molecular biology, the clinical manifestation is also described in detail. Both common and atypical clinical manifestations are considered. This book concludes with an outlook on further research and targeted eradication of the disease.

Lymphatic Filariasis: Epidemiology, Treatment and Prevention - The Indian Perspective (Repost)

Lymphatic Filariasis: Epidemiology, Treatment and Prevention - The Indian Perspective by Brij Kishore Tyagi
English | EPUB (True) | 2018 | 320 Pages | ISBN : 9811313903 | 24.1 MB

Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is a group of human and animal infectious diseases caused by nematode parasites of the order Filariidae. Often neglected, it is one of the oldest and the most debilitating tropical diseases (NTDs), transmitted from human to human by mosquitoes bites, particularly the brown black mosquito known as Culex quinquifasciatus. LF is a major public health problem in many parts of the tropics, especially India, which accounts for as much as 40% of total global cases. As a leading cause of permanent and long-term disability worldwide, the parasite infection imposes a severe physical and socioeconomic burden. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.4 billion people live in high-risk areas – 120 million of which are already infected with LF, including 22 million children below the age of 15 and about 76 million who suffer from damaged lymphatic and renal systems.
