Of mice, cattle, and humans: the immunology and treatment of river blindness.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
River blindness is a seriously debilitating disease caused by the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus, which infects millions in Africa as well as in South and Central America. Research has been hampered by a lack of good animal models, as the parasite

Increased expression of a microRNA correlates with anthelmintic resistance in parasitic nematodes [PDF]

, 2017
Resistance to anthelmintic drugs is a major problem in the global fight against parasitic nematodes infecting humans and animals. While previous studies have identified mutations in drug target genes in resistant parasites, changes in the expression ...

Full mitochondrial and nuclear genome comparison confirms that Onchocerca sp. “Siisa” is Onchocerca ochengi [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2018
Onchocerca ochengi is a nodule-forming filarial nematode parasite of cattle. It is the closest known relative of the human parasite Onchocerca volvulus, with which it shares the black fly vector Simulium damnosum. Onchocerca sp. "Siisa" was described in black flies and in cattle and, based on limited mitochondrial sequence information, appeared to be ...

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.
