High Prevalence of Mansonella ozzardi Infection in the Amazon Region, Ecuador [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We reviewed Giemsa-stained thick blood smears, obtained through the national malaria surveillance program in the Amazon region of Ecuador, by light microscopy for Mansonella spp. microfilariae. Of 2,756 slides examined, 566 (20.5%) were positive.

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

CD39 and immune regulation in a chronic helminth infection: The puzzling case of Mansonella ozzardi. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BackgroundChronic helminth infections typically induce an immunoregulatory environment, with markedly reduced immune responses to both parasite-specific and unrelated bystander antigens.
