The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]

, 2005
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even

Onchocerciasis Fingerprints in the Geriatric Population: Does Host Immunity Play a Role?

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
One of the most debilitating consequences of aging is the progressive decline in immune function, known as immunosenescence. This phenomenon is characterized by a shift in T-cell phenotypes, with a manifest decrease of naive T-cells—dealing with newly ...

Onchocerciasis dynamics: modelling the effects of treatment, education and vector control

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
A deterministic model of onchocerciasis disease dynamics is considered in a community partitioned into compartments based on the disease status. Public health education is offered in the community during the implementation of mass treatment using ...

Simmering Tensions and Emerging Conflicts Among Key Group Actors Amid Capitalist Transformation in Northern Ghana

Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 25, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT A capitalist agrarian transformation is unfolding in northern Ghana, marked by shifts in crop types, rapid increases in farm sizes and deepening rural social differentiation. This paper investigates these dynamics through a mixed‐methods approach across six farming communities in two districts, focusing on how social differentiation ...

Stage-specific proteomes from onchocerca ochengi, sister species of the human river blindness parasite, uncover adaptations to a nodular lifestyle [PDF]

, 2016
Despite 40 years of control efforts, onchocerciasis (river blindness) remains one of the most important neglected tropical diseases, with 17 million people affected.

Dipteran succession on decomposing domestic pig carcasses in a rural area of southeastern Brazil

Scientific Reports
Diptera plays a pivotal role in forensic investigations, particularly in estimating the post-mortem interval. This can be achieved by analyzing the succession patterns of species on decomposing bodies, which requires detailed knowledge of the local fauna.

Ivermectin for onchocercal eye disease (river blindness).

, 2012
BACKGROUND: It is believed that ivermectin (a microfilaricide) could prevent blindness due to onchocerciasis. However, when given to everyone in communities where onchocerciasis is common, the effects of ivermectin on lesions affecting the eye are ...

Reducing onchocerciasis-associated morbidity in onchocerciasis-endemic foci with high ongoing transmission: a focus on the children.

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Efforts are being directed toward the elimination of onchocerciasis transmission in endemic areas with community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI) in Africa, which greatly reduces onchocerciasis-associated disease. However, onchocerciasis remains
