Onchocerciasis (river blindness) is a neglected tropical disease that has been successfully targeted by mass drug treatment programs in the Americas and small parts of Africa. Achieving the long-term goal of elimination of onchocerciasis, however, requires additional tools, including drugs, vaccines, and biomarkers of infection. Here, we describe the transcriptome and proteome profiles of the m...

PURPOSE The presence of eosinophilic granulocytes in ocular tissue is a hallmark of the host response to environmental and parasite allergens. Using a mouse model of Onchocerca volvulus-mediated keratitis (river blindness), the present study examined the role of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 in regulating recruitment of eosinophils to the cornea through expression of intercellular ...

Commonly used methods for diagnosing Onchocerca volvulus infections (microscopic detection of microfilariae in skin snips and nodule palpation) are insensitive. Improved methods are needed for monitoring and evaluation of onchocerciasis elimination programmes and for clinical diagnosis of individual patients. A sensitive probe-based qPCR assay was developed for detecting O. volvulus DNA, and th...

Onchocerca volvulus is a pathogenic human filarial parasite which, like other helminth parasites, is capable of evading the host's immune responses by a variety of defense mechanisms which are likely to include the detoxification and repair mechanisms of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST). In this study, we show that one of the previously described GSTs from O. volvulus appears to posse...
