Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: parasitologÃa Enfermedades Medicina Tropical InmunologÃa Clasificación: 571.999 Resumen: La filariasis linfática (LF) es un grupo de enfermedades infecciosas humanas y animales causadas por parásitos nematodos del orden Filariidae. A menudo descuidada, es una de las enfermedades tropicales (ETD) más antiguas y debilitantes, transmitida de persona a persona por picaduras de mosquitos, en particular el mosquito negro marrón conocido como Culex quinquifasciatus. La LF es un importante problema de salud pública en muchas partes de los trópicos, especialmente en India, que representa hasta el 40% del total de casos mundiales. Como causa principal de discapacidad permanente y a largo plazo en todo el mundo, la infección parasitaria impone una carga fÃsica y socioeconómica grave. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima que 1.400 millones de personas viven en zonas de alto riesgo, 120 millones de las cuales ya están infectadas con LF, incluidos 22 millones de niños menores de 15 años y alrededor de 76 millones que padecen daños en los sistemas linfático y renal. . India ha logrado grandes avances hacia la eliminación de la enfermedad, y estos avances son de importancia mundial. Incluyen mecanismos de diagnóstico temprano, desarrollo de productos vacunales, detección de parásitos en el vector y estudios sobre las tendencias de evolución de los parásitos en la naturaleza como señales de alerta. Se necesitan informes sobre los éxitos y los fracasos para permitir que se tomen medidas para evitar desastres y garantizar una transición sin problemas de la endemicidad en la India a la eliminación de la filariasis linfática para 2020. Este libro, que reúne contribuciones muy originales sobre diversos temas relacionados con la filariasis linfática , analiza las últimas investigaciones cientÃficas que ayudarán a la nación a lograr este hito. También sirve de guÃa para muchos otros paÃses que luchan contra esta enfermedad tan debilitante e incapacitante. Nota de contenido: 1. Epidemiology of lymphatic filariasis -- 2.

Scenario of lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Bangladesh: a scientific approach -- 22 . Biological Control of Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 (Diptera: Culicidae), the ubiquitous vector for lymphatic filariasis -- 23. Chemical control of Culex quinquefasciatus (Say, 1823), the principal vector of bancroftian filariasis, with emphasis on resistance development against insecticides in India -- 24. Perspectives of lymphatic filariasis with special reference to 'Sleepada' - An Ayurvedic loom. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is a group of human and animal infectious diseases caused by nematode parasites of the order Filariidae. Often neglected, it is one of the oldest and the most debilitating tropical diseases (NTDs), transmitted from human to human by mosquitoes bites, particularly the brown black mosquito known as Culex quinquifasciatus. LF is a major public health problem in many parts of the tropics, especially India, which accounts for as much as 40% of total global cases. As a leading cause of permanent and long-term disability worldwide, the parasite infection imposes a severe physical and socioeconomic burden. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.4 billion people live in high-risk areas – 120 million of which are already infected with LF, including 22 million children below the age of 15 and about 76 million who suffer from damaged lymphatic and renal systems. India has made great strides toward eliminating the disease, and these advances are of global significance. They include early diagnosis mechanisms, vaccine product development, detection of parasites in the vector, and studies on parasite evolution trends in nature as warning signals. Reports on the successes and failures are needed to enable measures to be taken to avoid disaster and ensure a smooth transition from endemicity in India to the elimination of lymphatic filariasis by 2020. This book, which gathers highly original contributions on various subjects related to lymphatic filariasis, discusses the latest scientific research that will help the nation to achieve this milestone. It also serves as a guide to many other countries struggling against this highly debilitating and incapacitating disease.
