First report of filarial nematodes in the genus Onchocerca infecting black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Iran

Scientific Reports, 2023
Black flies are blood-sucking insects of public health importance, and they are effective vectors of pathogens and parasites, such as filarial nematodes of the genus Onchocerca.

Oxfendazole mediates macrofilaricidal efficacy against the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis in vivo and inhibits Onchocerca spec. motility in vitro.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
A major impediment to eliminate lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis is the lack of effective short-course macrofilaricidal drugs or regimens that are proven to be safe for both infections. In this study we tested oxfendazole, an anthelmintic shown to

Ivermectin for onchocercal eye disease (river blindness).

, 2012
BACKGROUND: It is believed that ivermectin (a microfilaricide) could prevent blindness due to onchocerciasis. However, when given to everyone in communities where onchocerciasis is common, the effects of ivermectin on lesions affecting the eye are ...

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]

, 2010
The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

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.

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

The isolation of differentially expressed cDNA clones from the filarial nematode Brugia pahangi [PDF]

, 1999
A cDNA library constructed from 3 day post-infective L3 of the filarial nematode Brugia pahangi was screened by differential hybridization with cDNA probes prepared from different life-cycle stages.

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.

Onchocerca Dewittei Japonica N. Subsp., a common parasite from wild in Kyushu Island, Japan

Parasite, 2001
We describe Onchocerca dewittei japonica n. subsp. from the Japanese wild boar, Sus scrofa leucomystax, in Oita, Kyushu Island, where all seven animals examined were found to be infected. This study began with efforts to identify the causative species in
