Tropomyosin implicated in host protective responses to microfilariae in onchocerciasis

, 1998
A cDNA from adult female Onchocerca volvulus encoding the C-terminal portion of a tropomyosin isoform (termed MOv-14) has been shown previously to confer protective immunity in rodent models of onchocerciasis. The full- length sequence (designated Ov-tmy-

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Suppression of Brugia malayi (sub-periodic) larval development in Aedes aegypti (Liverpool strain) fed on blood of animals immunized with microfilariae

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Preliminary studies were carried out to investigate the role of filarial specific antibodies, raised in an animal model against the filarial parasite, Brugia malayi (sub-periodic), in blocking their early development in an experimental mosquito host ...

PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.

Lectin-binding characteristics of Brugia pahangi microfilariae

, 1985
The binding of FITC-CON-A, SBA, DBA, WGA, PNA and RCA120 to microfilariae of B. pahangi and D. immitis was investigated. Sheathed uterine, peritoneal or blood microfilariae of B. pahangi bound only WGA on the surface of the sheath.
