Variation in microfilariae and infective stages of two types of Wuchereria bancrofti from the Thai-Myanmar border
Comparative morphometric and morphological studies of microfilariae and infective stages were undertaken in nocturnally periodic and subperiodic Wuchereria bancrofti. For microfilariae, the body dimensions of nocturnally periodic (NP) were significantly smaller than nocturnally subperiodic (NSP), i....

description |
Comparative morphometric and morphological studies of microfilariae and infective stages were undertaken in nocturnally periodic and subperiodic Wuchereria bancrofti. For microfilariae, the body dimensions of nocturnally periodic (NP) were significantly smaller than nocturnally subperiodic (NSP), i.e., body length 268.03+/-14.75 microm (NP), 307.61+/-11.52 microm (NSP); cephalic space length 4.21+/-0.62 microm (NP), 5.32+/-0.79 microm (NSP); head to nerve ring 49.39+/-5.43 microm (NP), 57.40+/-4.46 microm (NSP); innenkörper length 33.05+/-5.89 microm (NP), 44.02+/-8.71 microm (NSP); cephalic space width 4.28+/-0.59 microm (NP), 6.04+/-0.68 microm (NSP); body width at nerve ring 5.01+/-0.57 microm (NP), 7.45+/-0.75 microm (NSP). The number of nuclei between the cephalic space and nerve ring of NP (66.67+/-5.19) was also significantly less than in NSP (94.74+/-6.95).
