The filarial parasites that pose the most serious public health threats are Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, Brugia timori, Onchocerca volvulus, and Loa loa . (medscape.com)
In contrast to classical lymphatic filariasis caused by B. malayi and B. timori , which are found in Asia, most zoonotic Brugia infections have been reported from the northeastern United States ( 2 , 3 ) or South America ( 3 ). (cdc.gov)
detailed sequence comparison identified the isolate as a novel Brugia (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) species closely related to B. pahangi and B. malayi ( Figure ). (cdc.gov)
presbytis cristatus (silvered leaf monkey) (25%) and felis catus (domestic cat) (7%) were infected with brugia malayi and b. pahangi. (liverpool.ac.uk)
To assess whether this pattern is true of nematodes in general, we have used genome sequence to compare two nematode species that last shared a common ancestor approximately 300 million years ago: the model C. elegans and the filarial parasite Brugia malayi . (biomedcentral.com)
Wolbachia ( w Bm) is an obligate endosymbiotic bacterium of Brugia malayi , a parasitic filarial nematode of humans and one of the causative agents of lymphatic filariasis. (biomedcentral.com)
There is a pressing need for new drugs against filarial parasites, such as B. malayi . (biomedcentral.com)
Filarial parasites1
Pathogenic filarial parasites affect the lives of millions of people, especially those living in tropical countries, and may cause significant dermatologic manifestations. (medscape.com)
Further experimentation and research can be done with this bacterium to find a way in which to create a preventative. (wikipedia.org)
However, currently B. thuringiensis is considered as a bacterium antagonistic of parasites used in investigations in vitro and in vivo therapeutic in laboratory and farm animals [3, 4]. (fortunepublish.com)
Microfilaria3
When it bites, inoculation of microfilaria is passed through salivary glands Using Knott's technique, researchers can find the infection through the microfilariae in the blood through a direct smear. (wikipedia.org)
Characteristics of the adult worms and microfilaria were most consistent with those of Brugia spp. (cdc.gov)
Cross-reaction was found between S. equina antigens and antibodies in the sera of Wuchereria bancrofti-infected patients, with the highest levels observed between sera of chronic infected patients and Setaria spp. (who.int)
Parasitic6
Brugia pahangi is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the genus Brugia. (wikipedia.org)
The objectives of the current presentation are to summarize the functional properties of HSPs and their role in innate and acquired immune responses, to throw light on their role in pathogenesis and parasites survival, to review the literature searching for new drug discovery and vaccine candidates for parasitic diseases, and finally to present their use in diagnosis and genotyping of some parasitic diseases. (eg.net)
These bacteria might cause secondary infections to animals, so the parasite can become a vector of pathogenic bacterial, reason why the understanding of the 'bacteria-parasite interaction" is important to combating of parasitic infestations. (fortunepublish.com)
attack a vital bacteria of parasites through antibiotics possibly can be a control alternative, at the same way, the use of bacteria capable to control to parasitic diseases by antagonist interaction, like lethal toxins or adhesion at the site invasion of the parasites, are alternatives to explore. (fortunepublish.com)
Understand the bacteria-parasite interaction will help us to the control of parasitic diseases in an integral form, as well know as the bacterial infections that can develop from the parasitic infestation. (fortunepublish.com)
In these regions, a range of parasites pose a high risk to companion animals, which ultimately may place their owners at risk of acquiring parasitic zoonoses. (afpm.org.my)
Species6
Sex may affect parasite risk in both species comparably, with males bearing a higher risk than females due to an immunosuppressive effect of higher testosterone levels in males or to sex-specific behavior. (biomedcentral.com)
No significant difference in infection intensity between the two host species, and no effect of season, daytime of sampling or sex on prevalence or infection intensity was found. (biomedcentral.com)
In neither host species, parasite infection showed an influence on body weight as an indicator for body condition. (biomedcentral.com)
However, in a rainforest-dwelling lemur species, the diademed sifaka ( Propithecus diadema ), ticks ( Haemaphysalis lemuris ) were found to be more prevalent in the dry than in the rainy season [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
the major helminth parasites found in wild, semi-wild and golden sovereign stock guinea fowl were heterakis gallinarum, ascaridia galli, capillaria caudinflata, raillietina tetragona and r. echinobothrida, while eimeria species was the most important gastro-intestinal protozoan parasite. (liverpool.ac.uk)

Bacteria5
Wolbachia is an endosymbiont bacteria found in many filariae that assists in reproduction and survival, including in O volvulus . (medscape.com)
In order to characterize its function, we have expressed Brugia pahangi CDD in bacteria as a chimera with maltose-binding protein (MBP). (elsevierpure.com)
The use of antagonist bacterial is a biotechnological option in the control of parasites as therapy on the animal biomedicine, so in this review, we have a general idea of the "bacteria-parasite interaction' and their impact on the animal's health. (fortunepublish.com)
So, it is of paramount importance to address the symbiosis and relationship that develop the bacteria with the intestinal parasites of pets and production animals by the side effects that can cause in animal health. (fortunepublish.com)
It should be noted the keep symbiotic bacteria and parasites interaction can become an alternative method in therapies dewormers dependent on the presence or absence of the bacterial biota. (fortunepublish.com)
Larvae1
The adults and larvae are found in the lymphatic vessels. (wikipedia.org)
Infections2
The observed parasite infections did not affect body condition and thus may be of minor importance for shaping reproductive fitness. (biomedcentral.com)
The parasite infections of animals (production and pets) affect the health and quality of animal life, the parasites frequently present a microbiome associated which play several functions, like nutrition, reproduction or defense against the host immune system, and in some cases are opportunistic microorganisms. (fortunepublish.com)
Wolbachia2
Evidence also indicates that differences seen in the severe and mild strains of O volvulus relate to the amount of Wolbachia symbiote found in the different strains. (medscape.com)
The Wolbachia strain w Mel was recently found to increase locomotor activities and possibly trigger cytoplasmic incompatibility in the transinfected fly Drosophila nigrosparsa . (nature.com)
Genus2
This genus of Brugia is most commonly recognized by the spicules in males, which are needle like mating structures that open the vulva of the female worm. (wikipedia.org)
In the Brugia genus, there are two spicules, they are the shortest in length, the left one being 200-215 μm and the right one 75-90 μm long. (wikipedia.org)
Proteins2

Control4
consequently, the use of anthelmintics is likely to remain a major factor in integrated methods of parasite control. (frontiersin.org)
The Tropical Council for Companion Animal Parasites Ltd. (TroCCAP) is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to independently inform, guide and make best-practice recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and control of companion animal parasites in the tropics and sub-tropics, with the aim of protecting animal and human health. (afpm.org.my)
