Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles in filarial nematodes: from nematode development to diagnostics [PDF]

, 2016
Parasitic nematodes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to communicate with their hosts in order to survive and successfully establish an infection. The transfer of RNA within extracellular vesicles (EVs) has recently been described as a mechanism that

A simple isothermal DNA amplification method to screen black flies for Onchocerca volvulus infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Onchocerciasis is a debilitating neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus. Adult worms live in subcutaneous tissues and produce large numbers of microfilariae that migrate to the skin and eyes.

Evidence against Wolbachia symbiosis in Loa loa [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: The majority of filarial nematode species are host to Wolbachia bacterial endosymbionts, although a few including Acanthocheilonema viteae, Onchocerca flexuosa and Setaria equina have been shown to be free of infection. Comparisons of species

Repurposing auranofin as a lead candidate for treatment of lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Two major human diseases caused by filariid nematodes are onchocerciasis, or river blindness, and lymphatic filariasis, which can lead to elephantiasis.
