A multi-center field study of two point-of-care tests for circulating Wuchereria bancrofti antigenemia in Africa

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Background The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis uses point-of-care tests for circulating filarial antigenemia (CFA) to map endemic areas and for monitoring and evaluating the success of mass drug administration (MDA) programs.

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Trial of AWZ1066S, an Anti‐Wolbachia Candidate Macrofilaricide

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1071-1081, September 2024.
Abstract AWZ1066S has been developed as a potential treatment for the neglected tropical diseases lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. AWZ1066S targets the Wolbachia bacterial endosymbiont present in the causative nematode parasites. This phase 1, first‐in‐human study aimed to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of AWZ1066S in healthy human ...

Selective Peptide Binders to the Perfluorinated Sulfonic Acid Ionomer Nafion

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 20, May 16, 2024.
Selective non‐covalent binders to technical polymers enable novel approaches to design fuel cell membranes structured at the molecular level. A novel screening method is demonstrated to identify selective peptide binders to Nafion ionomer. Abstract Fuel cells used for transport applications hold polymer membranes as a key element.

Rapid Point-of-Contact Tool for Mapping and Integrated Surveillance of Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus Infection

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2015
Elimination programs for Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus are in critical need of sensitive, specific, and point-of-contact (POC) tools that can be used for surveillance years beyond cessation of mass drug administration when infection ...

Virulence is associated with daily rhythms in the within‐host replication of the malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Most malaria (Plasmodium spp.) parasite species undergo asexual replication synchronously within the red blood cells of their vertebrate host. Rhythmicity in this intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) enables parasites to maximise exploitation of the host and align transmission activities with the time of day that mosquito vectors blood ...

Macrophage-derived human resistin is induced in multiple helminth infections and promotes inflammatory monocytes and increased parasite burden. [PDF]

, 2015
Parasitic helminth infections can be associated with lifelong morbidity such as immune-mediated organ failure. A better understanding of the host immune response to helminths could provide new avenues to promote parasite clearance and/or alleviate ...

Subperiodic, asymptomatic microfilaremia in an adult male from Mysore: A nonendemic area

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2009
Wuchereria bancrofti is found throughout tropics and subtropics like Asia, Pacific islands, Africa, areas of South America and Caribbean basin. In all these areas, except Pacific islands, microfilaria occurs in the periodic form, in which case the ...
