Onchocerca volvulus larval antigen, OvB20, induces partial protection in a rodent model of Onchocerciasis

, 1995
OvB20 is an antigen of Onchocerca volvulus preferentially recognized by sera from cattle vaccinated with irradiated infective larvae of Onchocerca lienalis. Antibodies raised against the recombinant protein were used to characterize the expression of the

Wolbachia- and Onchocerca volvulus-Induced Keratitis (River Blindness) Is Dependent on Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88

, 2006
Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria that infect the filarial nematode Onchocerca volvulus were previously found to have an essential role in the pathogenesis of river blindness.

Survival of Onchocerca volvulus in nodules implanted in immunodeficient rodents.

, 1992
Onchocerca volvulus is an obligate human parasite, and its study has been difficult due to an inability to maintain it outside the human host. We report the successful transplantation of onchocercomata containing living adult O.

Beyond Tradition: Exploring Cutting-Edge Approaches for Accurate Diagnosis of Human Filariasis

Pathogens
Filariasis is recognised as a global public health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It is caused by infection with a nematode parasite of the superfamily Filarioidea, including Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, Onchocerca ...

Characterization of a Novel Filarial Serine Protease Inhibitor, Ov-SPI-1, from Onchocerca volvulus, with Potential Multifunctional Roles during Development of the Parasite

, 2005
A novel filarial serine protease inhibitor (SPI) from the human parasitic nematode Onchocerca volvulus, Ov-SPI-1, was identified through the analysis of a molting third-stage larvae expressed sequence tag dataset.

Induction of protective immunity against larval Onchocerca volvulus in a mouse model. [PDF]

, 1993
BALB/cBYJ mice were immunized against larval Onchocerca volvulus by subcutaneous injection of normal, irradiated, or freeze-thaw-killed Onchocerca sp. larvae. The mice received challenge infections of O.

Walsh & Hoyt: Onchocerca volvulus (Onchocerciasis)

, 2005
Onchocerca volvulus is a white, threadlike (filarial) worm, similar to Loa loa. Female worms are much longer than male warms. Each female produces large numbers of unsheathed larvae (microfilaria).

Identification of non-cross-reacting antigens of Onchocerca volvulus with lymphatic filariasis serum pools [PDF]

, 2017
Onchocerca volvulus proteins labelled with 125I were immunoprecipitated with onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis human serum pools in order to differentiate between cross-reacting and non-cross-reacting antigens. Analysis of the immunoprecipitates by
