COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR DETECTION OF MICROFILARIA
Director of Academics and Research Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2005Co-Authors: R. Radhika, H. SubramanianAbstract:Eventhough wet film examination was very much useful for preliminary screening of Microfilariasis, MKT was the more reliable and accurate method

BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN DOGS INFECTED WITH MICROFILARIA OF Dirofilaria repens IN THRISSUR
Director of Academics and Research Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 2001Co-Authors: R. Radhika, H. SubramanianAbstract:Biochemical studies in dogs affected with microfilaria of D. Yepens revealed a marked increase in serum total protein and globulin values. The albumin and albumin :globulin ratio was greater in uninfected dogs. There was significant increase in AST and ALT and serum urea values in Microfilariasis but increase in BLJN was marginal

COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF THREE MICROFILARICIDES AGAINST Dirofilaria repens IN DOGS
Director of Academics and Research Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, 1999Co-Authors: R. Radhika, H. SubramanianAbstract:Single oral dose of Milbemycin oxime at 0.5 mg/kg body weight was found to be the most effective drug for Microfilariasis. alternatively single subcutaneous injection of Ivermectin at 200 µg/kg body weight or Levamisole at 7.5 mg/kg s/c consecutively for 7 days also proved very useful

Dirofilaria repens microfilaremia in humans: Case description and literature review
'Elsevier BV', 2021Co-Authors: Ana Pupić-bakrač, Jure Pupić-bakrač, Ana Beck, Daria Jurković, Adam Polkinghorne, Relja BeckAbstract:Introduction: Dirofilaria repens is a vector-borne filaroid helminth of carnivorous animals, primarily domesticated dogs. Humans are considered to be accidental hosts in which D. repens rarely reach sexual maturity but induce local inflammation, mainly in subcutaneous and ocular tissues. Methods: In the current study, we present the detection of multiple adults of D. repens, endosymbiont Wolbachia sp. and microfilariae by molecular analysis in peripheral tissues and bloodstream of a human host. A subsequent meta-analysis of published literature identified 21 cases of human infection with adult D. repens producing microfilariae. Results: Within the study population, there were 13 (59.09%) males, eight (36.36%) females and, in one (4.55%) case, sex was not reported. A total of 11 (50.00%) cases had subcutaneous dirofilariasis, six (27.27%) had ocular dirofiliariasis, with single cases (4.55% each) of genital, mammary, lymphatic and a combination of subcutaneous and pulmonary dirofilariasis described. In one (4.55%) case, the primary anatomical site of adult D. repens could not be found. D. repens microfilariae were detected in the local tissue (local Microfilariasis) in 11 (50.00%) cases and the peripheral blood (microfilaremia) in 11 (50.50%) cases. Final identification of D. repens microfilariae was based on morphological detection in 14 (63.64%) cases, and molecular detection in eight (36.36%) cases. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that humans may act as a final host for D. repens, however its role as a source of D. repens infection is less clear

transfusional mansonella perstans Microfilariasis
Parassitologia, 2003Co-Authors: Enrico Rino Bregani, Laurent Balzarini, Chiara Ghiringhelli, Paolo TarsiaAbstract:: Mansonella perstans filariasis is widely distributed across the center of Africa and equatorial America. We describe a case of post-transfusional M. perstans Microfilariasis in a young child, affected with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, admitted in Goundi Hospital in South of Chad. A decrease of M. perstans Microfilariasis in the patient's blood was observed, with no subsequent development of either clinical symptoms or eosinophilia. We suggest that, in endemic areas, transfused M. perstans microfilariae may be cleared from the blood over relatively short periods of time. It is likely that only adult worms are responsible for symptoms and eosinophilia, whereas microfilariae in the bloodstream are unable to give clinical manifestations.

Filariasis of the Breast in a Pregnant Woman Diagnosed by Fine-needle Aspiration Cytology: A Case Report
Hindawi Limited, 1995Co-Authors: Melanie Lau, Pamela Tauchi, Milton Kim, Francis Liu, Thomas NamikiAbstract:Background: Despite increased immigration to the United States from endemic areas, the diagnosis of Microfilariasis in this country remains infrequent. This disease may occasionally present as a breast mass, in the absence of other clinical findings
