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 ...

Programmed cell death pathways as targets for developing antifilarial drugs: Lessons from the recent findings

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 19, Page 2819-2840, October 2023., 2023
Abstract More than half a century has passed since the introduction of the National Filariasis Control Program; however, as of 2023, lymphatic filariasis (LF) still prevails globally, particularly in the tropical and subtropical regions, posing a substantial challenge to the objective of worldwide elimination.

Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor Culicoides biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022
Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...

Mosquito Magnet® traps as a potential means of monitoring blackflies of medical and veterinary importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 646-651, December 2021., 2021
Mosquito Magnet traps for mosquitoes also caught blackflies, including species of veterinary importance. Most common species caught were Simulium equinum (causes ‘sweet itch’ in livestock), Simulium lineatum and Simulium ornatum s.l. (vector of Onchocerca linealis).

The immune response of inbred laboratory mice to Litomosoides sigmodontis: A route to discovery in myeloid cell biology

Parasite Immunology, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Litomosoides sigmodontis is the only filarial nematode where the full life cycle, from larval delivery to the skin through to circulating microfilaria, can be completed in immunocompetent laboratory mice. It is thus an invaluable tool for the study of filariasis.

Evaluation of Actin‐1 Expression in Wild Caught Wuchereria bancrofti‐Infected Mosquito Vectors

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Wuchereria bancrofti is the major cause of lymphatic filariasis transmitted by mosquito vectors. In the vector‐parasite interaction and among other proteins, actin‐1 has been implicated for successful transmission of the pathogen in laboratory‐controlled experiments.
