Nemátodos en la cavidad abdominal y el tracto digestivo de algunos murciélagos colombianos
Caldasia, 1999 Bats were collected in 11 sampling areas from the Departments of Antioquia, Bolívar and Chocó (Colombia), between February 1992 and June 1993. A total of 119 bats of five families and 33 species were captured, of which 70 bats of 23 species were ...

Analysis of the transcriptome of adult Dictyocaulus filaria and comparison with Dictyocaulus viviparus, with a focus on molecules involved in host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2014 Parasitic nematodes cause diseases of major economic importance in animals. Key representatives are species of Dictyocaulus (=lungworms), which cause bronchitis (=dictyocaulosis, commonly known as “husk”) and have a major adverse impact on the health of ...

Histamine 1 Receptor Blockade Enhances Eosinophil-Mediated Clearance of Adult Filarial Worms. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Filariae are tissue-invasive nematodes that cause diseases such as elephantiasis and river blindness. The goal of this study was to characterize the role of histamine during Litomosoides sigmodontis infection of BALB/c mice, a murine model of filariasis.

Combinations of registered drugs reduce treatment times required to deplete Wolbachia in the Litomosoides sigmodontis mouse model. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Filarial parasites can be targeted by antibiotic treatment due to their unique endosymbiotic relationship with Wolbachia bacteria. This finding has led to successful treatment strategies in both, human onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis.

Efficacy of Three-Week Oxytetracycline or Rifampin Monotherapy Compared with a Combination Regimen against the Filarial Nematode Onchocerca ochengi [PDF]
, 2014 Onchocerciasis (river blindness), caused by the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus, is a major cause of visual impairment and dermatitis in sub-Saharan Africa. As O.

Use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to distinguish between nematodes of pathogenic significance [PDF]
, 1988 The availability of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) would be useful for studying the extent of diversity among morpholgically indistinguishable populations of filarial parasites. Such polymorphisms may be useful in correlating various

Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells [PDF]
, 2018 The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage to the host tissues producing the
