This study shows that host type-2 immunity affects Wolbachia dynamics in filarial parasites, leading to reproductive impairments and developmental defects in both microfilariae and larvae.

This study identifies eosinophils as a major source of IL-4 during filarial infections, showing their critical role in driving Th2 responses without affecting macrophage polarization or antibody production.

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.
