|
| Recent research on the bacterial species Wolbachia which live as essential endosymbionts in filarial worms may lead to novel schemes for therapy and possibly also control of both lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. |
|
| These disorders are known collectively as filariasis. |
|
| The pathology of these diseases is really cumulative as it occurs over time, whether it's schistosomiasis or filariasis or some of these other diseases. |
