Significant heterogeneity in Wolbachia copy number within and between populations of Onchocerca volvulus

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
BackgroundWolbachia are intracellular bacteria found in arthropods and several filarial nematode species. The filarial Wolbachia have been proposed to be involved in the immunopathology associated with onchocerciasis.

A preliminary analysis of the population genetics and molecular phylogenetics of Onchocerca volvulus (Nematoda: Filarioidea) using nuclear ribosomal second internal transcribed spacer sequences

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
Nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) rDNA sequences were used for a molecular phylogenetics analysis of five Onchocerca species. The sister species of the human parasite O. volvulus was found to be the cattle parasite 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 ...
