No evidence of Wolbachia endosymbiosis with Loa loa and Mansonella perstans
Parasitology Research, 2003Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria from different filarial species, including major pathogens of humans such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Onchocerca volvulus, seem to play an important role in the development, viability and fertility of these worms.

Mansonella perstans aislada en una punción-aspiración de glándula salival
Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española, 2008Chronic parasitosis due to nematode worms (filariae) in tissue are very common in tropical ecosystems; their larvae (microfilariae) have been isolated in lymph vessels, skin, and blood. The case reported here is of a Nigerian patient suffering severe renal failure and admitted owing to the presence of a right submandibular gland abscess.

Mansonella perstans— The Importance of an Endosymbiont
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009The prevalence of filarial infections in the tropics is second only to that of geohelminth (soil-transmitted helminth) infections. Filarial infections in humans include the various forms of lymphatic filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B.

Development of Mansonella perstans in the surrogate vector Aedes aegypti.
Tropical medicine and parasitology : official organ of Deutsche Tropenmedizinische Gesellschaft and of Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), 1991The biology of the human filaria Mansonella perstans has been poorly studied due in part to the lack of experimental animal models in which its life-cycle could be reproduced. In nature Culicodes spp. (and probably simuliids) are the vectors involved in disease transmission.

The presence of filariasis was investigated through Knott's method in 40 Curripaco Indians from communities located on the Casiquiare and Guainia Rivers in the Amazon Federal Territory of Venezuela. The results gave an 82.5% prevalence for infections with Mansonella perstans and 30% for infections with M. ozzardi (mixed infections with M. perstans). In
