Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated taxonomy: traditional approach and DNA barcoding for the identification of filarioid worms and related parasites (Nematoda)
Emanuele Ferri,Michela Barbuto,Odile Bain,Andrea Galimberti,Shigehiko Uni,Ricardo Guerrero,Hubert Ferté,Claudio Bandi,Coralie Martin,Maurizio Casiraghi +9 more
TL;DR: DNA barcoding is proposed as a reliable, consistent, and democratic tool for species discrimination in routine identification of parasitic nematodes and the coherence between DNA-based and morphological identification for almost all the species examined is very strong.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the presence of Wolbachia pipientis on the phylogeny of filarial nematodes: evidence for symbiont loss during evolution.
Maurizio Casiraghi,Odile Bain,Ricardo Guerrero,Coralie Martin,Vanessa Pocacqua,Scott Lyell Gardner,A. Franceschi,Claudio Bandi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a PCR screening for W. pipientis in 16 species of filariae and related nematodes, representing different families/subfamilies.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the evolution of Wolbachia infections in filarial nematodes inferred from a large range of screened species.
Emanuele Ferri,Odile Bain,Michela Barbuto,Coralie Martin,Nathan Lo,Shigehiko Uni,Frédéric Landmann,Sara G. Baccei,Ricardo Guerrero,Sueli de Souza Lima,Claudio Bandi,Samuel Wanji,M. Diagne,Maurizio Casiraghi +13 more
TL;DR: The absence of Wolbachia in 63% of onchocercids, notably in the ancestral Oswaldofilariinae estimated 140 mya old, the diverse tissues or specimens distribution, and a recent lateral transfer in supergroup F WolbachIA modify the current view on the role and evolution of the endosymbiont and their hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shaking the Tree: Multi-locus Sequence Typing Usurps Current Onchocercid (Filarial Nematode) Phylogeny.
Emilie Lefoulon,Odile Bain,Jérôme Bourret,Kerstin Junker,Ricardo Guerrero,Israel Cañizales,Yuriy Kuzmin,Tri Baskoro Tunggul Satoto,Jorge Cárdenas-Callirgos,Sueli de Souza Lima,Christian Raccurt,Yasen Mutafchiev,Laurent Gavotte,Coralie Martin +13 more
TL;DR: The data support the current hypothesis that the Oswaldofilariinae, Waltonellinae and IcosieLLinae subfamilies separated early from the remaining onchocercids, and Setariinae was recovered as a well separated clade.
