Unraveling cross-reactivity of anti-glycan IgG responses in filarial nematode infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Parasitic nematodes responsible for filarial diseases cause chronic disablement in humans worldwide. Elimination programs have substantially reduced the rate of infection in certain areas, but limitations of current diagnostics for population ...

Genetic characterisation of the neglected parasite species Plasmodium malariae and Mansonella sp "DEUX" [PDF]

Despite the major threat that parasitic infections pose to global health, they often remain overlooked, particularly those species that do not account for the highest mortality and morbidity rates.

Detection of Filariid Infections in Mexican Primate Populations Through qPCR

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 12, December 2024.
Using a combination of noninvasive sampling and molecular diagnostic techniques, we detected filariae infections in wild spider monkeys and black howler monkeys across southern Mexico by screen for filariid DNA in host feces through qPCR protocols, with an overall prevalence of 26% positive cases.

Molecular Discovery of Filarial Nematode DNA in an Endangered Wild Pinniped (Galapagos Sea Lion, Zalophus wollebaeki)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our research explores to use and optimization of molecular methods for the detection and identification of DNA from filarial nematodes in Galapagos sea lion whole blood samples. We developed an accessible workflow for the genus and species‐level identifications of filarial nematodes present in wildlife DNA samples, and used this assay to test 28 ...

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

Environmental 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.

Mansonella perstans causing symptomatic hypereosinophilia in a missionary family

, 2006
Mansonella perstans is rarely pathogenic. The rare reports of symptomatic cases, however, include severe complications. Three cases of symptomatic hypereosinophilia with multi-organ involvement are described in a missionary family returning from tropical

The establishment of a collaborative surveillance program with indigenous hunters to characterize primate health in Southern Guyana

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 86, Issue 6, June 2024.
Picture from a workshop conducted with Waiwai parabiologists (Left to right: Suse, Marawanaru, Shoni) and veterinarian (Milstein) to develop culturally appropriate sampling methodology. Parabiologists shared their thoughts on which tissues they could feasibly collect in ways that would not interfere with normal hunting and butchery practices. Here, the

Molecular identification of Wolbachia from the filarial nematode Mansonella ozzardi.

, 2001
Mansonella ozzardi, a filarial parasite of humans in Latin America, has been shown to harbour intracellular bacteria not yet identified. Here we show that these bacteria, like those of other filarial nematodes, belong to the genus Wolbachia (alpha 2 ...
