Zoonotic onchocerciasis caused by a parasite from wild boar in Oita, Japan

Parasite, 2004
Histological examination of a nodule removed from the back of the hand of a 58-year-old woman from Oita, Kyushu, Japan showed an Onchocerca female sectioned through the posterior region of the worm (ovaries identifiable) and young (thin cuticle).

Integrating multiple biomarkers to increase sensitivity for the detection of Onchocerca volvulus infection.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Serological assessments for human onchocerciasis are based on IgG4 reactivity against the OV-16 antigen, with sensitivity around 60-80%. We previously identified 7 novel proteins that could enhance onchocerciasis sero-diagnosis.

The Mbam drainage system and onchocerciasis transmission post ivermectin mass drug administration (MDA) campaign, Cameroon.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundThe impact of large scale Mass Drug Adminstration (MDA) of ivermectin on active onchocerciasis transmission by Simulium damnosum, which transmits the parasite O. volvulus is of great importance for onchocerciasis control programmes.

Tolerability, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Ivermectin After Nasal Application in Healthy Adult Subjects

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Nasal epithelium is the site of infection for SARS‐CoV2 viruses, with interactions of the viral spike protein with the ACE2 receptor of the host cell. Molecular docking studies have shown that ivermectin shields the spike protein and thereby prevents binding to ACE2.

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

A murine macrofilaricide pre-clinical screening model for onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background New drugs effective against adult filariae (macrofilaricides) would accelerate the elimination of lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. Anti-Onchocerca drug development is hampered by the lack of a facile model. We postulated that SCID mice

Complete mitochondrial genome of Onchocerca lupi (Nematoda, Onchocercidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Onchocerca lupi, Rodonaja 1967, is an emerging, zoonotic filarial nematode parasite that causes ocular disease in dogs, cats, wild canids, and humans. It is the causative agent of ocular onchocercosis in canines with increasing incidence in both North ...
