Shaking the Tree: Multi-locus Sequence Typing Usurps Current Onchocercid (Filarial Nematode) Phylogeny

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.

Human ocular filariasis: further evidence on the zoonotic role of Onchocerca lupi

The results of this study suggest that O. lupi infestation is not an occasional finding but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of other zoonotic helminths causing eye infestation in humans (e.g., D. immitis and Dirofilaria repens).

Cutaneous Distribution and Circadian Rhythm of Onchocerca lupi Microfilariae in Dogs

The detection of skin microfilariae in asymptomatic animals, suggests the potential role of these animals as carriers and reservoirs of O. lupi and their concentration in specific body regions, which are the best sites to collect skin samples for diagnostic purposes.

Species diversity of dermal microfilariae of the genus Cercopithifilaria infesting dogs in the Mediterranean region

The great diversity of these neglected filarioids in dogs is of biological interest, considering the complex interactions occurring among hosts, ticks and Cercopithifilaria spp.

Two new nematode species of the genus Cosmocephalus Molin, 1858 (Spirurida: Acuariidae), with an amended generic diagnosis and an identification key to Cosmocephalus spp.

The generic diagnosis of Cosmocephalus is amended to include more comprehensive information on the morphology of the studied species and the presence of a single ventral ridge was recorded in males anterior to the caudal bursa.
