Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence, risk factors and clinical epidemiology of melioidosis: a complex socio-ecological emerging infectious disease in the Alor Setar region of Kedah, Malaysia.
Muhammad R A Hassan,S. P. Pani,Ng P Peng,K Voralu,Natesan Vijayalakshmi,Ranjith Mehanderkar,Norasmidar A Aziz,Edwin Michael +7 more
TL;DR: Melioidosis represents a complex socio-ecological public health problem in Kedah, being strongly related with age, occupation, rainfall and predisposing chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodic adenolymphangitis and lymphoedema in patients with bancroftian filariasis
S. P. Pani,J. Yuvaraj,Perumal Vanamail,V. Dhanda,Edwin Michael,Bryan T. Grenfell,Donald A. P. Bundy +6 more
TL;DR: The results imply that there is a dynamic progression through the grades of lymphoedema and that the frequency of ADL episodes is positively associated with this progression, however, the study design could not separate cause from effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical epidemiology of Bancroftian filariasis: effect of age and gender
TL;DR: Examination of the gender differences in the point prevalence of disease in 12 areas of India showed a significant relationship between occurrence of disease and gender, but this relationship did not significantly differ between northern and southern Indian populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of age-specific rates of acquisition and loss of Wuchereria bancrofti infection
Perumal Vanamail,S. Subramanian,P. K. Das,S. P. Pani,Rajagopalan Pk,Donald A. P. Bundy,Bryan T. Grenfell +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the age-distribution of bancroftian filariasis is primarily determined by age-dependency in the rate of acquisition of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the fecund life span of Wuchereria bancrofti in an endemic area
TL;DR: A stochastic approach appropriate for general use in endemic communities was applied to estimate the average yearly instantaneous rate of loss of W. bancrofti microfilaraemia from infected individuals, and gain by uninfected individuals, from longitudinal data, and the results suggest that the life span is at the lower end of previous estimates.
