Morphological observations were made on the adult filarial worms of nonperiodic form of B.malayi (32 worms), the new subspecies of the causative agent of filariasis in East Kalimantan (3,4). Lymphatic filariasis is caused by infection with the filarial nematodes Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, and Wuchereria bancrofti, the latter of which is the most common species 4. They are among roundworms that cause the parasitic disease filariasis.
Specifically, of the three species known, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori cause lymphatic filariasis in humans; and Brugia pahangi and Brugia patei infect domestic cats, dogs and other animals. • Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is a condition characterized by swelling of the lower limbs. Parasite DNA was detected over a two week time course in 96% of pooled thoraces of vector mosquitoes. They are transmitted by the bite of mosquitos. Brugia is a genus for a group of small roundworms. The Consultation to Accelerate Elimination of Brugia malayi Transmission in Indonesia and Malaysia was held from 13 to 15 December 2017 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Fragments of putative chitin synthase (chs) genes from two filarial species (Brugia malayi and Dirofilaria immitis) were amplified by PCR using degenerate primers.

Eight participants attended the consultation from Indonesia and Malaysia, six temporary advisors, and 11 observers from selected state health offices in Malaysia and partner agencies. Brugia malayi • is a roundworm nematode, one of the three causative agents of lymphatic filariasis in humans. The full genomic and cDNA sequences were obtained for the B. malayichs gene

The purpose of this study was to extend prior studies of molecular detection of Brugia malayi DNA in vector (Aedes aegypti- Liverpool) and non-vector (Culex pipiens) mosquitoes at different times after ingestion of infected blood. FA Sudjadi FA Sudjadi (1*) (1) (*) Corresponding Author Abstract.
