Mathematical Model for The Transmission of Lymphatic Filariasis and Its Applications [PDF]

, 2002
We have constructed a stochastic transmission model for lymphatic filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, and have analyzed its prevalence using computer simulations.

Wuchereria bancrofti-infected individuals harbor distinct IL-10-producing regulatory B and T cell subsets which are affected by anti-filarial treatment

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Despite worldwide mass drug administration, it is estimated that 68 million individuals are still infected with lymphatic filariasis with 19 million hydrocele and 17 million lymphedema reported cases. Despite the staggering number of pathology cases, the

Focusing nucleic acid-based molecular diagnostics and xenomonitoring approaches for human helminthiases amenable to preventive chemotherapy [PDF]

, 2016
The current mainstay for control of the four major helminth diseases in humans (lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases and schistosomiasis) is with preventive chemotherapy by mass administration of key anthelminthics ...

An investigation of the disparity in estimates of microfilaraemia and antigenaemia in lymphatic filariasis surveys [PDF]

, 2015
The diagnosis of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is based typically on either microfilaraemia as assessed by microscopy or filarial antigenaemia using an immuno-chromatographic test.

Targeting Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase‐Activating Death Domain Protein of Brugia malayi for Construction of a Multi‐Epitope Subunit Vaccine Against Lymphatic Filariasis

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. This

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 ...
