Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 12, Page 2744-2754, December 2021., 2021 Building on syndemic theory in medical anthropology, the authors propose the term synzootics to describe co‐occurring enzootic or epizootic processes that produce worse health outcomes in wild animals. Using framing from syndemic theory, they describe how the synzootic concept would offer new insights into the ecology and evolution of infectious ...

Most of the response elicited against Wolbachia surface protein in filarial nematode infection is due to the infective larval stage [PDF]
, 2004 Immune responses to the intracellular Wolbachia bacteria of filarial nematodes are thought to contribute to the pathologic process of filarial infection.

Malaria-filaria coinfection in mice makes malarial disease more severe unless filarial infection achieves patency [PDF]
, 2005 Coinfections are common in natural populations, and the literature suggests that helminth coinfection readily affects how the immune system manages malaria.

Litomosoides sigmodontis: A jird urine metabolome study [PDF]
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2015 The neglected tropical disease onchocerciasis affects more than 35 million people worldwide with over 95% in Africa. Disease infection initiates from the filarial parasitic nematode Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted by the blackfly vector Simulium sp. carrying infectious L3 larvae.

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019 Bats can host pathogenic organisms such as viruses and fungi, but little is known about the pathogenicity of their parasites. Hemoparasites are frequently recorded in Neotropical bats, particularly Litomosoides (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae), but their ...

Chronic helminth infection burden differentially affects haematopoietic cell development while ageing selectively impairs adaptive responses to infection [PDF]
, 2018 Throughout the lifespan of an individual, the immune system undergoes complex changes while facing novel and chronic infections. Helminths, which infect over one billion people and impose heavy livestock productivity losses, typically cause chronic ...
