It is isolated between 22:00-02:00, and sent to a qualified reference lab.
Doctors isolate it from the tool in the ptient is a traveller; immunocompromised; and during outbreaks. The stool sample is sent to a lab.
Doesn't usually require a doctor. If in hospital, samples are taken if the patient has persistent diarrhoea; is traveller; children/elderly; immunocompromised; and during an outbreak. It is isolated from stool and sent to a qualified reference lab.

2. Where in the world/in the body does Wuchereria bancrofti cause illness?
It causes infections by entering the bloodstream and multiplying in the lymph system - causing leg swelling. It is most commonly found to occur in Asia, Africa, and the Americas - due to heightened mosquito populations.
It causes infections by entering the bloodstream and multiplying in the lymph system - causing leg and/or scrotum swelling. It is most commonly found to occur in Asia, Africa, and the Americas - due to heightened mosquito populations.

It causes infections by entering the bloodstream and multiplying in the lymph system - causing leg and/or scrotum swelling. It is most commonly found to occur in Europe, America, and Eastern Asia.
3. What lab techniques are used to detect E.Coli?
Specific enzyme immunoassays: directly from stool, 73-90% specificity, is expensive. Also, PCR assay for Shiga toxin, DNA Probes, and Multiplex PCR Assays (these are not widely available)
Serotype enzyme immunoassays: directly from stool, 73-100% specificity, is expensive. Also, PCR assay for Shiga toxin, DNA Probes, and Multiplex PCR Assays (these are not widely available)
Enzyme immunoassays: directly from stool, 80-100% specificity, is expensive. Also, PCR assay for Shiga toxin, DNA Probes, and Multiplex PCR Assays (these are not widely available)
Shiga enzyme immunoassays: directly from stool, 60-100% specificity, is expensive. Also, PCR assay for Shiga toxin, DNA Probes, and Multiplex PCR Assays (these are not widely available)
4. Who is susceptible to Wuchereria bancrofti?
People living in areas where mosquitos are prominent (e.g. Anopheles mosquitos). Also, there has been a proven mild genetic link - as the regulation of the infection depends on the patient's immune system.
People living in Africa and Asia. Also, there has been a proven mild genetic link - as the regulation of the infection depends on the patient's immune system.
People living in areas where mosquitos are prominent (e.g. Anopheles mosquitos). Also, children and the elderly/immunocompromised
Men living in areas where mosquitos are prominent (e.g. Anopheles mosquitos). Also, there has been a proven mild genetic link - as the regulation of the infection depends on the patient's immune system.
5. Which organisms cause Wuchereria bancrofti infections?
The Wuchereria bancrofti worm, of which the adults cause lymphatic filariasis.
The Wuchereria bancrofti nematode (worm), of which the adults cause lymphatic filariasis.
The Brugia malayi nematode (worm), of which the adults cause lymphatic filariasis.
The Wuchereria bancrofti nematode (worm), of which the young worms cause lymphatic filariasis.
