Discovery of potentially novel species of the Onchocercidae (Nematoda: Filarioidea) in Burmese fighting chickens (Gallus gallus): Genetic insights into avian filariasis and co-infection with Plasmodium juxtanucleare [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Burmese fighting chickens (Gallus gallus) raised in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, eastern Thailand, were investigated for filarioids and co-infection with other haemoparasites. Microscopy and molecular diagnostic targeting the cox1 gene revealed that 2 out

Molecular detection of filarioid nematodes (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in wild mammals from different Brazilian biomes [PDF]

Parasitology
Parasitic nematodes within Onchocercidae are a diverse group transmitted by hematophagous arthropods. This study investigated the molecular occurrence of filarioid nematodes in 93 wild mammals from the Amazon, Cerrado and Pantanal biomes in Brazil, based

A vascular filarial nematode in sika deer (Cervus nippon): Morphological and molecular characterization of Elaeophora (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Japan [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Elaeophora (Nematoda: Onchocercidae), a filarial nematode infecting the blood vessels of ruminants and horses, is transmitted by tabanid flies. Elaeophora elaphi was previously detected in wild sika deer in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan in 2009; however ...
