Mitochondrial Genome of Brugia malayi Microfilariae Isolated From a Clinical Sample

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected parasitic disease that is a leading cause of long-term disability. Information obtained from genome sequencing of filarial worm can help us identify systems in the worm that are likely to be useful for novel drug ...

Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.
We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals. This

PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.
