That the mosquito ( " Culex fatigans ", now " Culex quinquefasciatus " ) was the intermediate host of the filarial parasite ( " Wuchereria bancrofti" ) was a medical breakthrough in 1877.

Can insecticide resistance status affect parasite transmission in mosquitoes? - 192.163.198.149. Culex mosquitoes were grouped into pools, with a maximum of 20 mosquitoes per pool. Indeed, very high numbers of mosquitoes should be analysed in settings characterised by low levels of infection in the human population, so that very low levels of infection in the vectors can be determined [42]. While Culex mosquitoes might not play a role in LF transmission in West Africa [22, 40, 44], our results suggest that Culex mosquitoes are capable of ingesting parasite material while feeding on MF-positive individuals, demonstrating the potential of using non-vector species as a proxy for determining the presence of LF in human populations. A total of 14,334 mosquitoes were collected; 14,135 Culex (98.6%), 161 Anopheles (1.1%) and a few other species.

While it may be perceived that achieving a proper MDA coverage might be easier in urban settings in Africa where the public health system usually is stronger (in comparison to rural areas), the implementation of MDA interventions can be a challenge under certain conditions in urban settings that are characterised by overcrowded slums, intense population movements, poor definition of risk factors, low levels of transmission, uncertainty to determine local transmission, etc. Urban lymphatic filariasis.

Hence, the study presented here was designed to obtain baseline data on the prevalence of W. bancrofti infection, coupled with entomological surveys, in order to determine whether or not LF transmission occurs in Conakry, which would require MDA. Thus, the detection of W. bancrofti DNA in mosquitoes confirms that infected individuals are present in Conakry.

Google Scholar. Filariasis caused by three parasites, namely, Brugia malayi, B. timori and Wuchereria bancrofti, is of immense public health importance in Asia. The two species of worms most often associated with this disease are Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. The typical vector for Brugia malayi filariasis are mosquito species from the genera Mansonia and Aedes. Thus, the correct answer is option C. Identification of parasite DNA in the mosquitoes was done using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay [22] and a PCR method [23] for detection of W. bancrofti.
