It is highly susceptible to nocturnally subperiodic " Wuchereria bancrofti " and " dengue type 2 virus ".
2.
It is not regarded as a malaria vector, but is a secondary vector of " Wuchereria bancrofti " in Maldives.
3.
One study in central Africa found " M . perstans " to be a much more common cause of filariasis symptoms compared to Loa loa and Wuchereria bancrofti.
4.
For " Wuchereria bancrofti ", a filarial nematode, well-developed cibarial armatures in vectors can damage ingested microfilariae and impede the development of infective L3 larvae.
5.
The life cycle of " Brugia timori " is very similar to that of " Wuchereria bancrofti " and " Brugia malayi ", leading to nocturnal periodicity of the disease symptoms.
6.
That the mosquito ( " Culex fatigans ", now " Culex quinquefasciatus " ) was the intermediate host of the filarial parasite ( " Wuchereria bancrofti " ) was a medical breakthrough in 1877.
7.
In addition to its role as a vector of malaria it is also a vector of some helminths ( including " Wuchereria bancrofti " ) and arboviruses ( including Japanese encephalitis virus, Sindbis virus and West Nile virus ).
8.
In the parasitic elephantiasis, such as " Brugia malayi " and " Wuchereria bancrofti ", " Wolbachia " has become an obligate endosymbiont and provides the host with chemicals necessary to its reproduction and survival.
9.
Disease organisms transmitted by mosquitoes include West Nile virus, American tropics; Rift Valley fever, " Wuchereria bancrofti ", Japanese Encephalitis, chikungunya, malaria and filariasis in Africa and Asia; and Murray Valley encephalitis in Australia.
10.
A hydrocele can also be the result of a plugged inguinal lymphatic system caused by repeated, chronic infection of " Wuchereria bancrofti " or " Brugia malayi ", two mosquito-borne parasites of Africa and Southeast Asia, respectively.
