The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1980
A survey of 1,165 inhabitants of Bayeux, Haiti revealed that 16% were infected with Mansonella ozzardi. This was determined from a single 20 mm3 sample of finger prick blood from each individual. Amont children and young adults (< 20 years of age), fewer than 2% had detectable microfilaremias.

The present vector studies show that the biting midge, Culicoides furens, serves as an intermediate host for Mansonella ozzardi in Haiti. A total of 3,430 C. furens were collected as they engorged on infected individuals. Under the maintenance conditions described herein, the microfilaria required 9 days to reach the infective stage.

Sera from individuals in an area of Haiti endemic for Mansonella ozzardi were analyzed for reactivity to antigens of Brugia pahangi, Dirofilaria immitis, Mansonella llewellyni or Ascaris lumbricoides using either an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. IgM and IgG reactivity to all antigens was observed with

Microfilariae of Mansonella ozzardi in Human Skin Biopsies
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981Microfilariae of Mansonella ozzardi were seen in specimens of skin taken by biopsy from 4 of 6 subjects previously shown to be positive for microfilariae in the blood. While most of the microfilariae were confined to small blood vessels in the papillary and superficial reticular dermis, some were in perivascular spaces and a few were noted in the ...

The concentration of Mansonella ozzardi microfilariae in skin capillaries
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983The densities of microfilariae of Mansonella ozzardi in different regions of the body of infected individuals were studied. The density in venous blood closely approximated to that found in finger capillaries, but was significantly lower than the densities in capillaries of the scapular region and buttocks. A possible explanation for this concentration

Mansonella ozzardi: A Redescription with Comments on Its Taxonomic Relationships
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982Mansonella ozzardi is redescribed from adult worms collected from the subcutaneous tissues of patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) infected with a Haitian strain of the filaria. The worms are small and very slender; females measure about 49 mm in length by 0.15 mm in diameter and males, 26 by 0.07 mm.

Is Simulium amazonicum the vector of Mansonella ozzardi?
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1965Abstract 9 of 57 persons examined in the village of Codajaz, Brazil, showed microfilariae in the blood; these closely resembled microfilariae of Mansonella ozzardi . No microfilariae of Onchocerca volvulus were found in skin snips. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the vector was Simulium amazonicum .

Susceptibility of Laboratory Primates to Infection with Mansonella Ozzardi from Man
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981The study was undertaken to determine primates were susceptible to infection with Caribbean and/or Amazon strains of Mansonella ozzardi of man. Twenty-three animals including three chimpanzees, four squirrel monkeys, one capuchin, five rhesus and 10 patas monkeys each received, by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection, 25-170 infective larvae of M.
