Abstract：
We describe a recent case of lymphatic filariasis in Colombia caused by Wuchereria bancrofti nematodes. Our study combines clinical-epidemiologic findings with phylogenetic data. Resurgence of lymphatic filariasis may be linked to increasing urbanization trends and migration from previously endemic regions. Fieldwork can be a beneficial tool for screening and containing transmission.
摘要：
我们描述了最近由Wuchererriabancrofti线虫引起的哥伦比亚淋巴丝虫病病例。我们的研究将临床流行病学发现与系统发育数据相结合。淋巴丝虫病的复发可能与城市化趋势的增加和以前流行地区的迁移有关。实地考察可以是筛选和遏制传播的有益工具。
