The purpose of this meeting was to review broadly the current extent and impact of lymphatic filanasis, then to evaluate the practical Implications of recent research findings related to filariasis control, and to identify those control strategies likely to be most effective in eliminating at least filanal morbidity and perhaps even the infection itself.

201 Citations1995Charles R. Katholi, Laurent Toé +2 more
A PCR assay for detecting Onchocerca volvulus in pools of vector black flies is described, and an algorithm is presented to calculate the prevalence of infection in the vector population, based upon the proportion of PCR-positive pools.

In 1940 in South India a new syndrome characterized by persistent hypereosinophilia, chronic cough, and pulmonary infiltration suggestive of miliary tuberculosis was described and referred to as eosinophile lung, and in 1966 this search for the agent causing the new disease was brought to a conclusive stage.

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay was developed using the Hha I family of highly repeated DNA sequences from Brugia to indicate that the H Ha I PCR detection system is rapid, species-specific, and sensitive.
