IgG4 antibodies from patients with asymptomatic bancroftian filariasis inhibit the binding of IgG1 and IgG2 to C1q in a Fc-Fc-dependent mechanism. [PDF]
Parasitol Res, 2019 A striking feature of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is the clinical heterogeneity among exposed individuals. While endemic normals (EN) remain free of infection despite constant exposure to the infective larvae, a small group of patients, generally ...

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Rapid development of resistance in vector mosquitoes to synthetic insecticides is a major challenge for malaria control. The use of plant‐derived essential oils (EOs) is an attractive strategy in controlling mosquito populations because they are environmentally safe and may have a lower chance of developing resistance.
