Abstract

The genetics of human susceptibility to lymphatic filariasis, the genetic basis of filarial susceptibility in vector mosquitos, and the genetic constitution of human filarial parasites and their mosquito vectors are reviewed. It is evident that our present knowledge on the genetics of lymphatic filariasis is still very meagre. The need to study various genetic aspects of the disease is highlighted.

摘要

本文综述了人类对淋巴丝虫病易感性的遗传学、媒介蚊虫对丝虫易感性的遗传基础，以及人类丝虫寄生虫及其蚊虫媒介的遗传构成。显然，我们目前对淋巴丝虫病遗传学的了解仍然非常有限。文中强调了研究该疾病各个遗传方面的必要性。
