Cellular and humoral immune responses of jirds resistant to Dipetalonema viteae infection [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
Jirds with prepatent Dipetalonema viteae infections develop an acquired immunity to challenge infections. The objective of the present study was to observe parasite-specific and nonspecific cellular and humoral immune responses in immune jirds. Splenic hyperplasia was observed in infected jirds during the first 5 weeks of infection.

Co-infection of Dipetalonema species (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in a captive squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) from China: first molecular characterization of Dipetalonema freitasi

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Infection of Dipetalonema species in Neotropical primates has been documented extensively. However, there is limited information on the molecular characterization of the genus Dipetalonema, specifically regarding the identification of co-infections.

Retinol deficiency and Dipetalonema viteae infection in the hamster [PDF]

Journal of Helminthology, 1985
ABSTRACTFollowing chronic retinol (vitamin A) deprivation leading to exhaustion of liver vitamin A reserves below 50 I.U. per liver hamsters were fed diets either deficient in (“Rd”: 250 I.U.A/kg in experiment I, 1000 I.U.A/kg in experiment II) or enriched with retinol (“Rw”: 10000 I.U.A/kg in experiment I and II). After 4 weeks some of the animals (36

First report of Mansonella sp. and Dipetalonema gracile in the Amazonian city-dwelling threatened primate, Saguinus bicolor

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases, 2023
The pied tamarin, or Saguinus bicolor, is a callitrichid that inhabits Amazon Forest fragments encased within the municipalities of Manaus, Rio Preto da Eva, and Itacoatiara and their outskirts. Therefore, this primate lives in great proximity to humans,

First report of Dipetalonema gracile in a captive Marcgrave's capuchin monkey (Sapajus flavius) in northeastern Brazil: Scientific communication

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
Parasitic infections are important concern to the Wildlife Conservation Biology, particularly in endangered species. Herein, we report a parasitism by Dipetalonema gracile Rudolphi, 1809 (Spirurida, Filarioidea, Onchocercidae), in the peritoneal cavity ...

Filarial infections in lemurs: Evidence for a wide geographical distribution and low host specificity among lemur species

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
A microscopic analysis of 942 blood smears from Microcebus murinus, M. ravelobensis and two rodent species from northwestern Madagascar revealed the presence of an unnamed Onchocercidae species with low prevalence (1.0%−2.1%) in both mouse lemur species, but not in the rodents.

Temporal and demographic blood parasite dynamics in two free-ranging neotropical primates

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017
Parasite-host relationships are influenced by several factors intrinsic to hosts, such as social standing, group membership, sex, and age. However, in wild populations, temporal variation in parasite distributions and concomitant infections can alter ...
