फिलायरिया इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

The parasite can be Strongyloides stercoralis, Dirofilaria immitis or Ascaris which can enter the body through contact with the soil.

He discovered that filariasis in humans is transmitted by mosquitoes.

He spent his early years researching filaria (a small worm that causes elephantiasis).

Manson focused his time on searching for filaria in blood taken from his patients.

From this he began to work out the life cycle of filaria and through painstaking observation discovered that the worms were only present in the blood during the night and were absent during the day.

He conducted experiments on his gardener, Hin Lo, who was infected with filaria.

Manson observed that filaria only developed as far as an embryo within the human blood and that the mosquito must have a role in the life cycle.

That the mosquito (Culex fatigans, now Culex quinquefasciatus) was the intermediate host of the filarial parasite (Wuchereria bancrofti) was a medical breakthrough in 1877.

In this article he states, "the mosquito, having been shown to be the agent by which the filaria is removed from the human blood vessels, this or similar suctorial agent must be the agent which removes from the human blood vessels those forms of the malaria organism which are destined to continue the existence of this organism outside the body.

A genus of mosquito Mansonia, species of which are vectors of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis and Brugian filariasis, is named after him.

A genus of filarial roundworm Mansonella was named after him in 1891.

The unit focuses on research into malaria and lymphatic filariasis.

However, the subfamily of Phlebotominae does feed on blood with the ability to transmit (tropical) diseases, and Sycorax silacea can transmit microfilaria.
