Co-infection restrains Litomosoides sigmodontis filarial load and plasmodial P. yoelii but not P. chabaudi parasitaemia in mice

open access: yesParasite, 2014
Infection with multiple parasite species is clearly the norm rather than the exception, in animals as well as in humans. Filarial nematodes and Plasmodium spp. are important parasites in human public health and they are often co-endemic.

Ultrastructure of the microfilaria of Brugia pahangi (Buckley and Edeson, 1956) Buckley, 1958 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
The microfilaria of Brugia pahangi obtained from an experimentally infected dog were observed with the electron microscope. The sheath was composed of small granules and was covered with electron-dense particles on the outer surface and with small ...

Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles in filarial nematodes: from nematode development to diagnostics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Parasitic nematodes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to communicate with their hosts in order to survive and successfully establish an infection. The transfer of RNA within extracellular vesicles (EVs) has recently been described as a mechanism that

Litomosoides silvai (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) parasitizing Akodon montensis (Rodentia: Cricetidae) in the southern region of Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2017
In the present study, Litomosoides silvai parasitizing Akodon montensis in the southern region of Brazil is reported for the first time. New morphological information is provided for some structures of this nematode species, such as a flattened cephalic ...

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

The Nematoda Filarioidea: critical analysis linking molecular and traditional approaches

open access: yesParasite, 2008
The molecular analysis of the Filarioidea and the endobacteria Wolbachia is no more limited to the agents of human diseases and the diversified sampling permits a synthesis with the morphological and biological results.

Arthropod and filarioid parasites associated with wild rodents in the northeast marshes of Buenos Aires, Argentina

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
During 1995, 16 species of arthropods and 2 species of filarioids, totaling 1 287 specimens were collected from 64 wild rodents captured in the Hudson Natural Reserve, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Infestation parameters and indexes were analyzed.

Both asymmetric mitotic segregation and cell-to-cell invasion are required for stable germline transmission of Wolbachia in filarial nematodes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Parasitic filarial nematodes that belong to the Onchocercidae family live in mutualism with Wolbachia endosymbionts. We developed whole-mount techniques to follow the segregation patterns of Wolbachia through the somatic and germline lineages of four ...

Fat‐associated lymphoid clusters: Supporting visceral adipose tissue B cell function in immunity and metabolism

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 324, Issue 1, Page 78-94, July 2024.
Summary It is now widely understood that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a highly active and dynamic organ, with many functions beyond lipid accumulation and storage. In this review, we discuss the immunological role of this tissue, underpinned by the presence of fat‐associated lymphoid clusters (FALCs).
