The immune response of inbred laboratory mice to Litomosoides sigmodontis: A route to discovery in myeloid cell biology

Parasite Immunology, Volume 42, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Litomosoides sigmodontis is the only filarial nematode where the full life cycle, from larval delivery to the skin through to circulating microfilaria, can be completed in immunocompetent laboratory mice. It is thus an invaluable tool for the study of filariasis.

HUMAN DIROFILARIASIS: CURRENT SITUATION AND POSSIBILITIES FOR DIAGNOSIS [PDF]

Trakia Journal of Sciences, 2020
Dirofilariasis in humans is a rarely diagnosed vector-borne zoonotic helminthic invasion. It is caused from filarial nematodes genus Dirofilaria & Railliet Henry, 1911 (Onchocercidae, Nematoda). Usually, the life cycle of the parasite takes place between

Onchocerciasis transmission in Ghana: biting and parous rates of host-seeking sibling species of the Simulium damnosum complex [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Ghana is renowned for its sibling species diversity of the Simulium damnosum complex, vectors of Onchocerca volvulus. Detailed entomological knowledge becomes a priority as onchocerciasis control policy has shifted from morbidity reduction

The symbiotic role of Wolbachia in Onchocercidae and its impact on filariasis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2013
Symbiotic associations between eukaryotes and microorganisms are frequently observed in nature, and range along the continuum between parasitism and mutualism. The genus Wolbachia contains well-known intracellular bacteria of arthropods that induce several reproductive phenotypes that benefit the transmission of the bacteria.

Phylogenomics and analysis of shared genes suggest a single transition to mutualism in Wolbachia of nematodes [PDF]

, 2013
Wolbachia, endosymbiotic bacteria of the order Rickettsiales, are widespread in arthropods but also present in nematodes. In arthropods, A and B supergroup Wolbachia are generally associated with distortion of host reproduction.
