Real-time PCR detection of the HhaI tandem DNA repeat in pre- and post-patent Brugia malayi Infections: a study in indonesian transmigrants.

Albers A, Sartono E, Wahyuni S, Yazdanbakhsh M, Maizels RM, Klarmann-Schulz U, Pfarr K1, Hoerauf A.Author information 1Institute of Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology, University Hospital of Bonn, Sigmund-Freud-Str, 25, D-53105 Bonn, Germany. pfarr@microbiology-bonn.de.AbstractBACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia spp. is a public health problem in developing countries. To monitor bancroftian filariasis infections, Circulating Filarial Antigen (CFA) test is commonly used, but for brugian infections only microfilariae (Mf) microscopy and indirect IgG4 antibody analyses are available. Improved diagnostics for detecting latent infections are required.

Podoconiosis patients' willingness to pay for treatment services in Northwest Ethiopia: potential for cost recovery.

Tamiru A1, Tsegay G, Wubie M, Gedefaw M, Tomczyk S, Tekola-Ayele F.Author information 1School of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Debre Markos University, P,O, Box 269, Debre Markos, Ethiopia. abrish80@gmail.com.AbstractBACKGROUND: Podoconiosis is non-filarial elephantiasis of the lower legs. It is more commonly found in tropical Africa, Central and South America, and northwest India. In Ethiopia, a few non-governmental organizations provide free treatment to podoconiosis patients, but sustainability of free treatment and scale-up of services to reach the huge unmet need is challenged by resource limitations. We aimed to determine podoconiosis patient's willingness to pay (WTP) for a treatment package (composed of deep cleaning of limbs with diluted antiseptic solution, soap, and water, bandaging, application of emollient on the skin, and provision of shoes), and factors associated with WTP in northwestern Ethiopia.

… The present data indicate that there could be causal relationship between onchocerciasis and elephantiasis in South-west Ethiopia, endemic focus of the onchocercal disease. … The authors drew particular attention to the non-filarial etiology reported by other investigators in Ethiopia and assessed the two contradicting views known as the nonfilarial and filarial etiology of elephantiasis. …
