Multisystem infection by Dipetalonema spp. in a capuchin monkey (Sapajus nigritus)

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2023
Abstract The capuchin monkey (Sapajus nigritus) is one of the primates that make up the wild fauna of Rio Grande do Sul. Like other wild animals, primates suffer from infectious diseases transmitted by insects, including filariasis. This report presents the anatomopathological aspects of a multisystemic infection by Dipetalonema spp.

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 ...
