Major basic protein and eosinophil peroxidase support microfilariae motility inhibition by eosinophil ETosis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Eosinophils are a hallmark of filarial infections. They are primary effector cells and can attack filariae by releasing extracellular traps that contain toxic cationic proteins, such as eosinophil peroxidase and major basic protein.

Eosinophils Are Important for Protection, Immunoregulation and Pathology during Infection with Nematode Microfilariae [PDF]

, 2014
Eosinophil responses typify both allergic and parasitic helminth disease. In helminthic disease, the role of eosinophils can be both protective in immune responses and destructive in pathological responses. To investigate whether eosinophils are involved

Microfilariae, a Common Parasite in an Unusual Site: A Case Report with Literature Review [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Filariasis is common in tropical countries. Wuchereria bancrofti is the most common parasite which causes lymphatic filariasis in India. This paper reports the finding of microfilariae in cervicovaginal smear of a 61-year-old post menopausal woman with ...

Effects of filaricidal drugs on longevity and enzyme activities of the microfilariae of Setaria cervi in white rats

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2015
Objective: To analyse the efficacy of diethylcarbamazine (DEC), tetramisole and chlorpromazine on the longevity and activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase in the microfilariae recovered from the peripheral circulation of the rats ...

Understanding the relationship between prevalence of microfilariae and antigenaemia using a model of lymphatic filariasis infection. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis is a debilitating neglected tropical disease that affects impoverished communities. Rapid diagnostic tests of antigenaemia are a practical alternative to parasitological tests of microfilaraemia for mapping and ...

How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? [PDF]

, 2014
The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are transmitted by the same vector.

Microfilariae Trigger Eosinophil Extracellular DNA Traps in a Dectin-1-Dependent Manner

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Eosinophils mediate protection against filarial nematodes. Our results demonstrate that eosinophil extracellular traps (EETosis) are induced by microfilariae and infective L3 larvae of Litomosoides sigmodontis.
