Biology:Mansonella

From HandWiki

Mansonella is a genus of parasitic nematodes.[1] It includes three species that are responsible for the disease mansonelliasis: Mansonella ozzardi, M. perstans, and M. streptocerca.[2] A potential fourth species has been identified in Gabon in 2015 and proposed as a new species Mansonella sp. "DEUX".[3] Whole-genome sequences from Mansonella perstans, Mansonella ozzardi, and the newly proposed species Mansonella sp. "DEUX" have been assembled.[4][5]

Species

There are nine accepted species [1] and one proposed species:[3]

  • Mansonella barbascalensis
  • Mansonella llewellyni Price, 1962
  • Mansonella longicapitata Eberhard, Campo-Aasen & Orihel, 1984
  • Mansonella ozzardi Manson, 1897 – parasite of humans in Central and South America
  • Mansonella perstans Manson, 1891 – parasite of humans and primates in Africa and South America
  • Mansonella rodhaini
  • Mansonella rotundicapitata Eberhard, Campo-Aasen & Orihel, 1984
  • Mansonella semiclarum Fain, 1974
  • Mansonella streptocerca – parasite of humans in West and Central Africa
  • Mansonella sp "DEUX" – first observation of human infections in Gabon in 2015.
