Onchocerca volvulus infection and serological prevalence, ocular onchocerciasis and parasite transmission in northern and central Togo after decades of Simulium damnosum s.l. vector control and mass drug administration of ivermectin

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Mass drug administration (MDA) of ivermectin has become the main intervention to control onchocerciasis or “river blindness”. In Togo, after many years of MDA, Onchocerca volvulus infection has declined dramatically, and elimination appears ...

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

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.
