Molecular xenomonitoring for Wuchereria bancrofti in Culex quinquefasciatus in two districts in Bangladesh supports transmission assessment survey findings

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Careful monitoring for recrudescence of Wuchereria bancrofti infection is necessary in communities where mass drug administration (MDA) for the elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) as a public health problem has been stopped.

PD‐L2 Inhibits Protective Immunity, Th2 Cell Functional Quality, and GATA‐3 Expression During Filarial Nematode Infection

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
During filarial nematode infection with Litomosoides sigmodontis, PD‐L2 down‐regulates Th2 cell expression of GATA‐3 and Th2 cytokines and enables parasite survival. Concurrently, B cells suppress protective immunity through a mechanism that does not involve PD‐L2.

Evidence against Wolbachia symbiosis in Loa loa [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: The majority of filarial nematode species are host to Wolbachia bacterial endosymbionts, although a few including Acanthocheilonema viteae, Onchocerca flexuosa and Setaria equina have been shown to be free of infection. Comparisons of species

The Burden of Neglected Tropical Diseases in Rwanda: A Scoping Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Rwanda is among the African countries affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This scoping review aims to synthesize available information to understand the prevalence, incidence, distribution, morbidity, mortality, and risk factors of NTDs in Rwanda.

Measurement of circulating filarial antigen levels in human blood with a point-of-care test strip and a portable spectrodensitometer [PDF]

, 2016
The Alere Filariasis Test Strip (FTS) is a qualitative, point-of-care diagnostic tool that detects Wuchereria bancrofti circulating filarial antigen (CFA) in human blood, serum, or plasma.

The Impact of Memory Effects on Lymphatic Filariasis Transmission Using Incidence Data From Ghana

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Modeling Lymphatic Filariasis by incorporating disease awareness through fractional derivative operators. ABSTRACT Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by a parasitic worm transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. In this study, a mathematical model is developed using the Caputo fractional operator.

Subcutaneous filariasis: An unusual case report

Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2007
Wuchereria bancrofti presented in subcutaneous nodule is a very rare presentation. Wuchereria bancrofti first reported by Bancrofti in Brisbane in 1876 and the name filaria Bancrofti was given in 1877 and the generic name was given in 1878.

Positivity of Antigen Tests Used for Diagnosis of Lymphatic Filariasis in Individuals Without Wuchereria bancrofti Infection But with High Loa loa Microfilaremia

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016
Since the mid-2000s, the immunochromatographic card test (ICT), a point-of-care test for detecting Wuchereria bancrofti circulating filarial antigens (CFAs), has been the backbone for mapping and monitoring lymphatic filariasis (LF) worldwide.

Fluralaner treatment of chickens kills the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 385-392, June 2025.
Chickens treated with fluralaner, fenbendazole or ivermectin did not repel Culex quinquefasciatus from feeding. The mortality of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on fluralaner‐treated chickens was significantly higher than that of those fed on control chickens at 3 and 7 days post‐treatment.

The global distribution and transmission limits of lymphatic filariasis: past and present. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is one of the neglected tropical diseases targeted for global elimination by 2020 and to guide elimination efforts countries have, in recent years, conducted extensive mapping surveys.
