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

Maternal IgE Influence on Fetal and Infant Health
Immunological Reviews, Volume 331, Issue 1, May 2025.ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, and other insults to barrier tissues exposed to the environment.

Australian guidelines for equine internal parasite management
Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 151-158, April 2025.Over the past few decades, the emergence of resistance amongst intestinal parasites of horses to all available anthelmintic classes has emphasised the need for a paradigm shift in parasite control approaches within the Australian equine industry. Findings of a recent Australia‐wide research project have provided new insights into intestinal parasites ...
