Lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.

Mark J. Taylor, +2 more
- 02 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Global programmes for control and elimination have been developed to provide sustained delivery of drugs to affected communities to interrupt transmission of disease and ultimately eliminate this burden on public health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry for Fast and Reliable Identification of Clinical Yeast Isolates

G. Marklein, +10 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: Overall, MALDI-TOF MS proved a most rapid and reliable tool for the identification of yeasts and yeast-like fungi, with the method providing a combination of the lowest expenditure of consumables, easy interpretation of results, and a fast turnaround time.
Book ChapterDOI

Wolbachia bacterial endosymbionts of filarial nematodes.

Mark J. Taylor, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the symbiosis of Wolbachia bacteria with filarial nematodes has been studied and the authors summarized the current understanding of the evolution of the symbiotic association together with insights into the functional basis of the interaction derived from genomic analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigen-specific cellular hyporesponsiveness in a chronic human helminth infection is mediated by Th3/Tr1-type cytokines IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β but not by a Th1 to Th2 shift

Andrea Doetze, +6 more
- 01 May 2000 - 
TL;DR: Ov-specific T cells could be cloned from GEO PBMC which have a unique cytokine profile, similar to the T cell subsets known to suppress ongoing inflammation (Th3 and Tr1), indicating that this cell type which has not been found so far in infectious diseases may be involved in maintaining Ov-specific hyporesponsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tetracycline therapy targets intracellular bacteria in the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis and results in filarial infertility

Achim Hoerauf, +9 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest a mutualistic interaction between the intracellular bacteria and the filarial nematode, and investigation of such a mutualism in endobacteria-containing human filariae is warranted for a potential chemotherapeutic exploitation.
