Comparison of five DNA extraction methods from human blood for the detection of Wuchereria bancrofti by polymerase chain reaction assays

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Manamperi, A.; Hapuarachchi, H.A.C.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Abeysundara, S.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)

Introduction: Lymphatic filariasis (Lf) is the second most common vector-borne disease globally. Approximately 90% of global burden of Lf is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti. W. bancrofti is routinely diagnosed by morphological ...
Entomological assesment of Wuchereria bancrofti transmission following mass treatment in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka.

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 2007)

Global program to eliminate Lymphatic filariasis (Lf) relies mainly on Mass Drug Administration (MDA). Success of filariasis control programs depends on careful monitoring of infection levels in human populations as well ...
GIS mapping of Lymphatic Filariasis endemic areas in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka; based on the epidemiological and entomological screening

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Manamperi, A.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 2009)

BACKGROUND: The health issues related to vector borne diseases appear always to be related to space and time. Therefore it is ideal to link Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with epidemiological and entomological data ...
Impact of repeated annual Diethylcarbamazine-Albendazole mass treatment on transmission of Wuchereria bancrofti in the Gampaha district.

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of Peradeniya, 2007)

Entomological and parasitological surveys are critical for the baseline evaluation of impact of repeated annual. Diethylcarbamazine-Albendazole mass treatment on the reduction of microfilaria density and level transmission ...
Large-scale entomological assessment of Wuchereria bancrofti transmission by dissection and PCR-ELISA in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Manamperi, A.; Hapuarachchi, H.A.C.; Bandara, K.B.A.T.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)

Entomological surveys are important tools for monitoring progress of lymphatic filariasis (Lf) eradication programs. In this study, dissection of Culex quinquefasciatus was compared with a Polymerase Chain Reaction - Enzyme ...
Night blood survey of a selected high-risk population for lymphatic filariasis

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Abeyewickreme, W.; Gunawardena, N.K.; Hapuarachchi, H.A.C.; Abeysundara, S. (Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science, 2007)

Human infection with Wuchereria bancrofti causes a disabling parasitic disease known as lymphatic filariasis, which is a major public health and socio-economic problem in many parts of the world. Little is known about the ...
Patterns of monthly Culex mosquito density variation in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka.

Wijegunawardana, N.D.A.D.; Gunawardene, Y.I.N.S.; Manamperi, A.; Abeyewickreme, W. (Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 2009)

BACKGROUND: The ecology, development, behavior, and survival of mosquitoes and the transmission dynamics of the diseases they transmit are strongly influenced by climatic factors. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was ...
