Abstract:

The life cycle of the parasite and the consequent human disease manifestations are reviewed in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 describes the drug trial in Papua New Guinea which provides most of the data for the dissertation. Chapter 3 demonstrates that data on two aspects of the vector-human interface - density dependence of microfilarial survival, and comparisons of mosquito catching methods - have in the past been manipulated in ways which simplified analysis by reducing the influence of extreme values, but at the cost of unjustified conclusions. Chapter 4 analyses the mean and aggregation of human mi

Abstract:

This thesis presents the work divided in three main areas: 1) the distribution of Lymphatic Filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and the non-pathogenic filarial parasite Mansonella perstans; 2) the implementation of a public health programme to eliminate LF describing the activities and discussing the impact of the programme, and 3) the assessment of the cost of the NPELF. This study was the first to provide countrywide epidemiological data on W. bancrofti and M. perstans infections in Burkina Faso as well as in some other West African countries.

Abstract:

The lymphatic system has fundamental physiological roles in maintaining fluid homeostasis, immune cell trafficking and lipid transport from the small intestine to the venous circulation. Lymphatic vessels are the main functional organ responsible for the diverse transport roles the system plays. Unlike the blood vasculature, the lymphatic system does not have a central pump, such as the heart, and relies on a variety of factors to move lymph through. It was long thought that only external factors, such as skeletal muscle contraction and lymph formation, played a role in the functional transpor

The real burden of lymphatic filariasis in most endemic areas remain unknown even though it is a major public health problems in many tropical countries. This is particularly so in sub-Saharan Africa, primarily because the standard procedures for assessing communities at risk of the disease are cumbersome, time-consuming, expensive and very intrusive. The nocturnal periodicity of the parasite requires parasitological examinations to be done at night and thus it becomes logistically cumbersome to organize.

Abstract:

Brugia malayi is one of three species of nematode known to cause lymphatic filariasis (LF) in humans. LF infects over 120 million people, causing debilitating disease. Various global programs have been launched in the past 20 years to eliminate LF. These programs have greatly scaled up the resources and efforts allocated to halting the transmission and reducing disease burden. Only a few drugs are used to treat LF, and resistance is thus a devastating possibility. Research aimed at identifying new drug targets could therefore prove essential in elimination of LF.

Filarial infections (lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis) are amongst the major neglected tropical diseases, and together account for more than 120 million infections in tropical and subtropical regions. The gold-standard technique for the diagnosis of filariases relies on the detection of microfilariae (mf) either in blood smears (lymphatic filariasis) or in skin biopsies (onchocerciasis). The secretion of extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) by parasitic nematodes has opened new avenues for the development of novel biomarkers for helminthiases, including filariasis.

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is an incapacitating disease caused by three filarial nematodes belonging to the family Onchocercidae, namely Brugia timori, Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia timori. An estimated 90% of lymphatic filariasis cases globally are caused by Wuchereria bancrofti. To evaluate the success of the Global Program to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis it is essential to monitor the frequency of larval infection in the mosquito vector. Molecular methods to detect Wuchereria bancrofti DNA in mosquitoes have been in existence since 1996. However these methods have not been widely adopted
