Differential tissular distribution of Litomosoides sigmodontis microfilariae between microfilaremic and amicrofilaremic mice following experimental infection

Parasite, 2012
Filariases are caused by onchocercid nematodes that are transmitted by arthropod vectors. More than 180 million people are infected worldwide. Mass drug administration has been set up in many endemic areas to control the parasite burden.

Co-infection with Onchocerca volvulus and Loa loa microfilariae in central Cameroon: are these two species interacting? [PDF]

, 2006
Ivermectin treatment may induce severe adverse reactions in some individuals heavily infected with Loa loa. This hampers the implementation of mass ivermectin treatment against onchocerciasis in areas where Onchocerca volvulus and L.

Blood Parasites of Vangas and Other Corvoidea on Madagascar

Diversity, 2022
Madagascar hosts a great diversity of bird species. This study focuses on the description of the diversity and prevalence of blood parasites (Haemosporida, trypanosomes and filarioid nematodes) in 131 blood samples of 14 species of Corvoidea, namely ...

Microfilariae-associated nephrotic range proteinuria [PDF]

Kidney International, 2011
A 50-year-old man presented with pedal edema and episodes of hematuria that had started 1 month before. Systemic examination revealed mild pedal edema and petechial rashes on both lower limbs, without lymphadenopathy. The urine color was noted to be milky white (Figure 1). Urine analysis showed 3+ albumin and numerous red blood cells.

First Report of Acanthocheilonema reconditum Outbreak in Canines with Clinical Signs of Anemia from Southwestern Colombia

Pathogens, 2022
Different nematodes affect canines, however Acanthocheilonema reconditum was considered mostly a non-pathogenic parasite. Climate change, animal migration, and other factors transformed the dynamics of vector-borne diseases, including filariasis.

Lymphatic Filariasis Control in Tanzania: Effect of Six Rounds of Mass Drug Administration with Ivermectin and Albendazole on Infection and Transmission. [PDF]

, 2013
Control of lymphatic filariasis (LF) in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa is based on annual mass drug administration (MDA) with a combination of ivermectin and albendazole, in order to interrupt transmission. We present findings from a detailed study

ILC2s Control Microfilaremia During Litomosoides sigmodontis Infection in Rag2-/- Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are inducers of type 2 immune responses, but their role during filarial infection remains unclear. In the present study, we used the Litomosoides sigmodontis rodent model of filariasis to analyze ILC2s during ...

Development of Onchocerca volvulus in humanized NSG mice and detection of parasite biomarkers in urine and serum. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: The study of Onchocerca volvulus has been limited by its host range, with only humans and non-human primates shown to be susceptible to the full life cycle infection.

Histochemical studies on microfilariae

Parasitology, 1972
Microfilariae belonging to the genera Brugia, Loa and Wuchereria have been stained by a wide variety of histochemical methods. The results are recorded in eight Tables.The sheath of the microfilaria contains polyanionic material, probably polysulphate, periodate reactive mucosubstance, sulphur-protein and complex lipids.

Evidence against Wolbachia symbiosis in Loa loa [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: The majority of filarial nematode species are host to Wolbachia bacterial endosymbionts, although a few including Acanthocheilonema viteae, Onchocerca flexuosa and Setaria equina have been shown to be free of infection. Comparisons of species
