Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,

Medicine Advances, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 177-192, September 2025.We focused on the MAP kinase activating death domain (MADD) protein of Brugia malayi as a candidate for a vaccine against lymphatic filariasis (LF). Our results demonstrated a significant increase in the production of memory B‐cells, T‐cells, and antibodies, which are crucial for removing microfilariae from the circulation of infected individuals.

Loiasis in US Traveler Returning from Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, 2016
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 The filarial parasite Loa loa overlaps geographically with Onchocera volvulus and Wuchereria bancrofti filariae in central Africa. Accurate information regarding this overlap is critical to elimination programs targeting O. volvulus and W. bancrofti.

Strong Bottlenecks Constrain Adaptive Coevolution in a Host–Parasite Metapopulation
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 17, September 2025.ABSTRACT Although parasites are well‐known for adaptively evolving in order to exploit their hosts, they may experience strong genetic drift during transmission bottlenecks when infecting a new host. Host population structure and host population bottlenecks can also lead to genetic drift effects in parasite populations, constraining their adaptive ...
