The first report on internal transcribed spacer region-based characterization of microfilaria in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2021
Background and Aim: Filarial infections can significantly impact the health of both humans and animals. In elephants, filariasis has been associated with cutaneous dermatitis and skin nodules. However, molecular evidence for such infections is limited in

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 ...

Application of a novel rectangular filtering microfluidic device for microfilarial detection

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
The rectangular filtering microfluidic chip was invented using microfluidics device fabrication technology and can separate living microfilariae from blood samples without a syringe pump. The diagnostic results are highly effective.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Dirofilaria immitis in Two Cats From Italy. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Feline dirofilariosis is infrequent, and diagnosis may be overlooked. This study reports two cases of Dirofilaria immitis infections in cats from Central‐Northern Italy, diagnosed by both direct (antigenic test, molecular analyses) and indirect detection methods (indirect ELISA), as well as by imaging investigations (i.e., thoracic radiography and ...

Prolyl 4-hydroxlase activity is essential for development and cuticle formation in the human infective parasitic nematode Brugia malayi [PDF]

, 2013
Collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases (C-P4H) are required for formation of extracellular matrices in higher eukaryotes. These enzymes convert proline residues within the repeat regions of collagen polypeptides to 4-hydroxyproline, a modification essential for ...
