Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Human lymphatic filariasis is a vector‐borne disease mainly caused by the parasitic nematode Wuchereria bancrofti and transmitted worldwide within the tropical and subtropical regions. Singapore was once endemic for bancroftian filariasis but recent reports are scarce and the disease is nearly forgotten.

Litomosoides yutajensis n. sp., first record of this filarial genus in a mormoopid bat
Parasite, 2003 Twenty-five bats were trapped in Yutaje (Amazonas, Venezuela) and examined for Litomosoides (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae). Of the nine recovered bat species, only Pteronotus parnelli was infected; it is a cave-dwelling species belonging to a family ...

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana
Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.

Gametogenesis and fertilization inDirofilaria immitis(Nematoda: Filarioidea)
Parasitology, 1986 SUMMARYGametogenesis inDirofilaria immitishas been studied principally by means of the aceto-orcein chromosomal squash technique, but with additional ultrastructural observations. A terminal germinative zone, in which a continuous and rapid division of germ cells occurs, has been identified in the gonoduct of both male and female worms.

Detection of Filariid Infections in Mexican Primate Populations Through qPCR
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 12, December 2024.Using a combination of noninvasive sampling and molecular diagnostic techniques, we detected filariae infections in wild spider monkeys and black howler monkeys across southern Mexico by screen for filariid DNA in host feces through qPCR protocols, with an overall prevalence of 26% positive cases.

Presence of a cryptic Onchocerca species in black flies of northern California, USA
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) serve as arthropod vectors for various species of Onchocerca (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) that may be associated with disease in humans, domestic animals, and wildlife.

Ultrastructural studies on microfilariae (Nematoda: Filarioidea)
Parasitology, 1972 The ultrastructural morphology of selected microfilariae from four genera is described and compared. 1. The sheath is composed of a thick layer of material not limited by membranes. 2. The cuticle is composed of a trilaminate membrane, a dense cortical layer and an inner fibrous layer.

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Aim. Onchocerciasis is an endemic parasitic disease in sub‐Saharan Africa that significantly impacts animal and human health. In Northern Cameroon, medicinal plants from the Combretum genus are used for onchocerciasis traditional treatment although there is no scientific evidence of their antifilarial potential. This study evaluates the in vitro macro‐
