Detection of Dirofilaria repens and Mansonella llewellyni in the United States by Wolbachia Surveillance

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

First Report of Acanthocheilonema reconditum Outbreak in Canines with Clinical Signs of Anemia from Southwestern Colombia

Pathogens, 2022
Different nematodes affect canines, however Acanthocheilonema reconditum was considered mostly a non-pathogenic parasite. Climate change, animal migration, and other factors transformed the dynamics of vector-borne diseases, including filariasis.

Detection of Filariid Infections in Mexican Primate Populations Through qPCR

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 12, December 2024.
Using a combination of noninvasive sampling and molecular diagnostic techniques, we detected filariae infections in wild spider monkeys and black howler monkeys across southern Mexico by screen for filariid DNA in host feces through qPCR protocols, with an overall prevalence of 26% positive cases.

Localization of Dipetalonema reconditum (GRASSI, 1890) (Nematoda filariidae) de Canis familiaris

, 1994
Foram necropsiados 24 cães com exame de sangue positivo para microfilarias de Dipetalonema sp. Verificou-se que 93,9% dos parasitos foram encontrados no tecido subcutâneo e 6,1% nas vísceras.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

The establishment of a collaborative surveillance program with indigenous hunters to characterize primate health in Southern Guyana

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 6, June 2024.
Picture from a workshop conducted with Waiwai parabiologists (Left to right: Suse, Marawanaru, Shoni) and veterinarian (Milstein) to develop culturally appropriate sampling methodology. Parabiologists shared their thoughts on which tissues they could feasibly collect in ways that would not interfere with normal hunting and butchery practices. Here, the

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Six hundred and eleven random-source dogs (338 male, 273 female) one year of age or older, from six sections of the city of Recife, Pernambuco, were examined antemortem for circulating microfilariae Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum adult ...
