THE BLOOD IN FILARIASIS. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1902
Since the discovery of the embryos of Filaria nocturna in the peripheral circulation by Lewis, in 1872, very few observers have devoted their attention to the changes in the blood associated with this disease. In 1894 Bancroft and Bancroft 1 noted a leucocytosis in filariasis and published the following blood counts, no differential blood counts being

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Evaluation of the difference between mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in canine complete blood count assessed with an automated haematology analyser

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 243-253, March 2026.
Objectives The study aimed (a) to establish the reference interval for Δmean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration‐mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in healthy dogs by ADVIA 2120 haematology analyser, (b) to identify the causes of increased Δmean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration‐mean cellular haemoglobin concentration in both healthy and ...

Repurposing Oxfendazole for Onchocerciasis: Population Pharmacokinetics of a Tablet Formulation in Healthy African Adults

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Global efforts to eliminate onchocerciasis are hampered by the lack of a macrofilaricidal drug capable of killing adult parasites. Oxfendazole, a veterinary anthelminthic, exhibits macrofilaricidal activity and holds promise to shorten treatment durations.
