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.

Pharmacological characterization of novel heteromeric GluCl subtypes from Caenorhabditis elegans and parasitic nematodes

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 179, Issue 6, Page 1264-1279, March 2022., 2022
Background and Purpose Macrocyclic lactones are the most widely used broad‐spectrum anthelmintic drugs for the treatment of parasitic nematodes affecting both human and animal health. Macrocyclic lactones are agonists of the nematode glutamate‐gated chloride channels (GluCls). However, for many important nematode species, the GluCls subunit composition

Molecular analysis of blood-associated pathogens in European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) from Germany

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) have not been investigated in large numbers for blood-associated pathogens in Germany, because wildcats, being a protected species, may not be hunted, and the collection of samples is therefore difficult ...
