Study of human and parasitic factors in relation to bancroftian filariasis in Egypt. Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 1992, Volume: 22, Issue:3 The Human Leucocytic Antigen (HLA) and the histochemical reaction of microfilaria were studied by using cytotoxicity test and microfilarial acid phosphatase activity respectively to evaluate the role of the genetic factors and the parasitic factor in the pathogenesis of filariasis. Statistical significant association was found between HLA-B7 and the susceptibility for retaining microfilariae in blood and the development of clinical manifestations of filariasis. Histochemical study reported more or less the same results obtained in Egypt in elsewhere. Topics: Acid Phosphatase; Animals; Disease Susceptibility; Egypt; Elephantiasis, Filarial; Histocytochemistry; HLA-B7 Antigen; Humans; Microfilariae; Wuchereria bancrofti	1992
Evidence of possible natural infections of man with Brugia pahangi in South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. Tropical and geographical medicine, 1985, Volume: 37, Issue:3 Blood from 9 humans, 6 domestic cats (Felis domesticus), and 5 silvered leaf monkeys (Presbytis cristatus) from South Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia, with known filarial infections was examined for determination ofacid phosphatase activity of the microfilarae (mff). The findings suggest 1) that Brugia parasites from domestic cats and silvered leaf monkeys can be speciated by acid phosphatase activity and that speciation by acid phosphatase assay corresponds to that based upon adult worm morphology and 2) that Brugia mff from humans have acid phosphatase activity characteristic of that of B. pahangi microfilariae from cat and monkey. Thus B. pahangi may infect man in South Kalimantan.
