Multiple origins of nematode-Wolbachia symbiosis in supergroup F and convergent loss of bacterioferritin in filarial Wolbachia

Amit Sinha, Zhiru Li, Catherine B. Poole, Laurence M. Ettwiller, Nathália F. Lima, Marcelo U. Ferreira, Fanny Fri Fombad, Samuel Wanji, Clotilde K. S. Carlow

This study identifies two independent origins of filarial Wolbachia in supergroup F and shows convergent loss of bacterioferritin in filarial Wolbachia.

Establishment of an in vitro culture system to study the developmental biology (growth, mating and nodule formation) of Onchocerca volvulus with implications for anti-onchocerca drug discovery and screening

Narcisse Victor Tchamatchoua Gandjui, Abdel Jélil Njouendou, Eric Njih Gemeg, Fanny Fri Fombad, Manuel Ritter, Chi Anizette Kien, Valerine Chawa Chunda, Jerome Fru, Mathias Eyong Esum, Marc Peter Hübner, Peter Enyong, Achim M. Hoerauf, Samuel Wanji

This paper establishes an in vitro culture system to maintain and develop Onchocerca volvulus larvae to adult stages, enabling study of mating, nodule formation, and drug screening.

Genome-wide analysis of ivermectin response by Onchocerca volvulus reveals that genetic drift and soft selective sweeps contribute to loss of drug sensitivity

Stephen R. Doyle, Catherine Bourguinat, Hugues Clotaire Nana-Djeunga, Jonas Arnaud Kengne-Ouafo, Sébastien D. S. Pion, Jean Gabin Bopda, Joseph Kamgno, Samuel Wanji, Hua Che, Annette C. Kuesel, Martin Walker, Marı́a-Gloria Basáñez, Daniel Adjei Boakye, Mike Yaw Osei-Atweneboana, Michel Boussinesq, , Warwick N. Grant

This study uses genome-wide analysis to show that genetic drift and soft selective sweeps, rather than strong selection, drive loss of ivermectin sensitivity in Onchocerca volvulus.
