Whole genome analysis of two sympatric human Mansonella: Mansonella perstans and Mansonella sp “DEUX”

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionMansonella species are filarial parasites that infect humans worldwide. Although these infections are common, knowledge of the pathology and diversity of the causative species is limited.

Polymorphic marker regions support divergence of Mansonella sp. “DEUX” and M. perstans [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Though being prevalent worldwide, Mansonella parasites are among the most neglected filarial nematodes. The true prevalence and genetic diversity of this genus have yet to be fully understood. Mansonella sp.

Incidental Detection of Microfilariae in Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas From Central Amazon. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Callitrichid primates Saguinus bicolor and Saguinus midas from urban accidents in peri‐urban forests from Central Amazon were necropsied. Analysis of thoracic and peritoneal fluid showed that 56.5% (13/23) of S. bicolor individuals and 13.3% (4/30) of S.

Detection of <i>Dirofilaria repens</i> and <i>Mansonella llewellyni</i> in the United States by <i>Wolbachia</i> Surveillance. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Skin-Dwelling Filariae and Risk Factors for Mansonella streptocerca Infection, Gabon [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Mansonella streptocerca is a species of neglected skin-dwelling filarial nematode parasite with scarce epidemiologic data from Central Africa. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1,007 adults from 51 rural and semiurban communities in Gabon to ...

Frequency and Distribution of Lymphatic Filariasis in Somalia: A Single-Center Experience. [PDF]

J Trop Med
“Filariasis is a chronic, mosquito‐borne parasitic infection. Chronic infection can lead to swelling of extremities, hydroceles, and testicular masses.” Purpose The study aimed to evaluate the frequency and distribution of filariasis in Somalia. Methods Patients were assessed using clinical examination, cytology, peripheral blood smears, and Doppler ...

Redescription, molecular characterisation and Wolbachia endosymbionts of Mansonella (Tupainema) dunni (Mullin & Orihel, 1972) (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) from the common treeshrew Tupaia glis Diard & Duvaucel (Mammalia: Scandentia) in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
The genus Mansonella Faust, 1929 includes 29 species, mainly parasites of platyrrhine monkeys in South America and anthropoid apes in Africa. In Malaysia, Mansonella (Tupainema) dunni (Mullin & Orihel, 1972) was described from the common treeshrew ...

Mansonella sp. and associated Wolbachia endosymbionts in ring-tailed coatis (Nasua nasua) in periurban areas from Midwestern Brazil

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
Coatis (Nasua nasua) are wild carnivorous well adapted to anthropized environments especially important because they act as reservoirs hosts for many arthropod-borne zoonotic pathogens.
