Molecular Characterization of a Re-Emergent Brugia Malayi Parasite in Sri Lanka, Suggestive of a Novel Strain With Close Nucleotide Homology to Brugia Pahangi

2020-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Brugian filariasis has re-emerged in Sri Lanka after four decades of quiescence. As microscopy alone was insufficient for ascertaining the species identity of the re-emerged sub-periodic Brugia spp . parasite, molecular speciation was performed. The transmission dynamics of the parasite was studied by entomological procedures. <h4>Methods: </h4> Human blood samples positive for Brugia spp . m...
