Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.
We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals.

Sinoatrial Contracaeciasis in Johnny Darters (Etheostoma nigrum) and Plains Topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus) From the South Platte Drainage, Colorado

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Intra‐sinoatrial nematodes were incidentally recognized in wild‐caught Colorado Johnny Darters (Etheostoma nigrum, JD) in 2020–2021 and in Colorado Plains Topminnow (Fundulus sciadicus, PTM) in 2023‐2024. PTM and JD were evaluated histologically.

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.

Description and circadian rhythms of Chandlerella sinensis Li, 1933 (Nematoda; Onchocercidae), with remarks of microfilariae effects on the host health

Parasitology
During investigation of common linnet (Linaria cannabina) blood using the buffy coat method one bird with microfilariae in the blood was found. The morphometric description of adult worms corresponded to the Chandlerella sinensis.

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.

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.
