Bancroftian filariasis infection, disease, and specific antibody response patterns in a high and a low endemicity community in East Africa
Simonsen, P .E; Meyrowitsch, D W.; Jaoko, Walter G.; Malecela, M N.; Mukoko, D.; Pedersen, E M.; Ouma, J H.; Rwegoshora, R T.; Masese, N.; Magnussen, P.; Estambale, Benson B.; Michael, E. (The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002)Bancroftian filariasis infection, disease and specific antibody response patterns in a high and a low endemicity community in East Africa were analyzed and compared to assess the relationship between these parameters and ... -
Filarial-specific antibody response in east African bancroftian filariasis: effects of host infection, clinical disease, and filarial endemicity
Jaoko, Walter G.; Simonsen, Paul E.; Meyrowitsch, Dan W.; Estambale, Benson B.; Malecela-Lazaro, Mwele N. (The American Society of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2006)The effect of host infection, chronic clinical disease, and transmission intensity on the patterns of specific antibody responses in Bancroftian filariasis was assessed by analyzing specific IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, and IgE ... -
Immunoepidemiology of Wuchereria bancrofti infection: Parasite transmission intensity, Filaria-specific antibodies, and host immunity in two East African communities
Jaoko, Walter G.; Michael, Edwin; Meyrowitsch, Dan W.; Estambale, Benson B.; Malecela, Mwele N.; Simonsen, Paul E. (American Society for Microbiology, 2007)We compared the age profiles of infection and specific antibody intensities in two communities with different transmission levels in East Africa to examine the contribution of humoral responses to human immunity to the ... -
Schistosoma haematobium and soil-transmitted Helminths in Tana Delta District of Kenya: infection and morbidity patterns in primary schoolchildren from two isolated villages
Njaanake, Kariuki H.; Vennervald, Birgitte J.; Simonsen, Paul E.; Madsen, Henry; Mukoko, Dunstan A.; Kimani, Gachuhi; Jaoko, Walter G.; Estambale, Benson B. (BioMed Central, 2016-02-03)Schistosomes and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) (hookworm, Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides) are widely distributed in developing countries where they infect over 230 million and 1.5 billion people, respectively. ... -
Urinary cytokines in Schistosoma haematobium-infected schoolchildren from Tana Delta District of Kenya
Njaanake, Kariuki H.; Simonsen, Paul E.; Vennervald, Birgitte J.; Mukoko, Dunstan A.; Reimert, Claus M.; Gachuhi, Kimani; Jaoko, Walter G.; Estambale, Benson B. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)Background: Pathological changes due to infection with Schistosoma haematobium include cytokine-mediated urinary tract inflammation. The involved cytokines may be excreted in urine and their presence in urine may therefore ...
