Molecular Verification of New World Mansonella perstans Parasitemias [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 We obtained ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA sequences from residents of Amazonas state, Brazil, with Mansonella parasitemias. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences confirm that M. ozzardi and M.

Imported Infections with Mansonella perstans Nematodes, Italy [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 We report 74 patients in Italy infected with Mansonella perstans nematodes, a poorly described filarial parasite. M. perstans nematodes should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients with eosinophilia from disease-endemic countries. Serologic analysis is useful for screening, and testing for microfilaremia in peripheral blood should be ...

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

Diagnostic Accuracy of Five Serologic Tests for Strongyloides stercoralis Infection [PDF]
, 2014 Background:The diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) infection is hampered by the suboptimal sensitivity of fecal-based tests. Serological methods are believed to be more sensitive, although assessing their accuracy is difficult because

Detection of in peripheral blood in two malaria-endemic areas in Panama
Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2022 Introduction: Studies conducted in 1984 demonstrated the presence of Mansonella ozzardi in the Darien and Colon provinces. Since then, there have not been further reports of this parasitic infection in Panama.

Glycosphingolipids in human parasites
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1625-1635, September 2023., 2023 The parasites that infect humans and animals include protozoans and helminths (worms). Their secretions and cellular membranes contain complex glycomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. A class of glycolipids shared between humans and parasites are the glycosphingolipids (GSLs) containing a lipid (ceramide) linked to a glycan ...
