Modelling the elimination of river blindness using long-term epidemiological and programmatic data from Mali and Senegal [PDF]
, 2017 The onchocerciasis transmission models EPIONCHO and ONCHOSIM have been independently developed and used to explore the feasibility of eliminating onchocerciasis from Africa with mass (annual or biannual) distribution of ivermectin within the timeframes ...

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Nasal epithelium is the site of infection for SARS‐CoV2 viruses, with interactions of the viral spike protein with the ACE2 receptor of the host cell. Molecular docking studies have shown that ivermectin shields the spike protein and thereby prevents binding to ACE2.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

Unraveling cross-reactivity of anti-glycan IgG responses in filarial nematode infections
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Parasitic nematodes responsible for filarial diseases cause chronic disablement in humans worldwide. Elimination programs have substantially reduced the rate of infection in certain areas, but limitations of current diagnostics for population ...

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.
