Filaria

D. filaria, the large lungworm of sheep and goats, may occasionally be present and be a cause of a clinical pneumonia. ❋ Unknown (1999)

Note: where Loiasis is endemic (West Africa), all treatment with diethylcarbamazine, should commence with 3 mg/kg x 2 days (protocole for Loiasis) whatever form of filaria is being treated. ❋ Unknown (1993)

For example, filaria is widespread in the project area, including both river blindness and loa-loa. ❋ Unknown (1991)

Manson was moreover guided by his experience regarding another parasite of the blood, a little worm, filaria, the transference of which from one part of its life-cycle to another he had found effected by the mosquito, and more particularly by special species of the mosquito. ❋ Unknown (1967)

Soon after this, in 1879, the first conclusive proof of the direct transmission of a disease from man-to-man was presented by the father of tropical medicine, Sir Patrick Manson, with regard to filaria, a blood infection that often causes the repulsive condition known as elephantiasis and which the mosquito takes from man and after a short time gives over to another subject. ❋ Anonymous (N/A)

The intimate pathology of the disease, and the subject of abscess caused by the death of the parent filaria, also receive further attention. ❋ Various (N/A)

_Culex microannulatus_ regarded as the carrier of the filaria. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)

If we imagine the parent filaria located in a distal lymphatic vessel to abort and give birth to ova instead of embryos, it may be understood that the ova might be unable to pass such narrow passages as the embryo could, and this is really the hypothesis which Manson has put forward on the strength of observations made on two cases. ❋ Various (N/A)

Our readers are probably aware that the parent filaria and the filaria sanguinis hominis may exist in the human body without entailing any apparent disturbance. ❋ Various (N/A)

These are the larval forms of the parasite and have been called by Le Dantec the micro-filaria. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)

The rapid strides which our knowledge has made during the past few years in the subject of the filaria parasite have been mainly owing to the diligent researches of Dr. Patrick Manson, who continues to work at the question. ❋ Various (N/A)

Manson's theory in regard to the disease being caused by filaria. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)

The diameter of an embryo filaria is about the same as that of a red blood disk, one three-thousandth of an inch. ❋ Various (N/A)

He has definite information with regard to bubonic plague and the _filaria medinensis_. ❋ James Joseph Walsh (1903)

The filaria sanguinis hominis is a small worm of the nematode species, the adult form of which lives in the lymphatics, and either the adult or the prematurely discharged ova (Manson) block the lymph-channels, producing the conditions of hematochyluria, elephantiasis, and lymph-scrotum. ❋ Unknown (1896)

Although elephantiasis is met with in all climates, it is more common in the tropics, and its occurrence has been repeatedly demonstrated in these localities to be dependent on the presence in the lymphatics of the filaria sanguinis hominis. ❋ Unknown (1896)
