acanthocheilonema การใช้

• "Acanthocheilonema viteae " is an animal parasite.
• Essential Role of Chitinase in the Development of the Filarial Nematode Acanthocheilonema viteae.
• "Acanthocheilonema viteae " is one of the few filaroids that do not bear " Wolbachia " bacteria.
• The direct smear technique allows examination of larval motion, helping in the distinction of " D . immitis " from " Acanthocheilonema reconditum ".
• "Acanthocheilonema viteae ", previously " Dipetalonema viteae ", is a rodent filarial worm that is often used as a model to study human filarial infections.
• Molecular studies suggest that " Acanthocheilonema viteae " either lost their symbionts before they became essential or diverged from other filaroids before " Wolbachia " acquisition ( Schmidt and Roberts, 2009 ).
• More recent research found " Wolbachia "-like sequences in the genomes of " Acanthocheilonema viteae ", some of which were transcribed in developing embryos and testes of the nematode, which suggested horizontal transfer of genetic material from an ancestral bacterial endosymbiont ( McNulty et al ., 2010)
• These filarial nematodes and their animal hosts are often used as models for studies on the biology of human infection . " Acanthocheilonema viteae " shares considerable antigenic homology with the human filarial worm " Onchocerca volvulus "; this allows for rapid analysis of larval development which is essential to efforts in vaccine development ( Eisenbeiss et al ., 1991 ).
