Mansonella perstans es un parásito en el filo de Nematoda. Esta filaria es uno de los dos que causa la filariasis visceral en humanos (La otra es Mansonella ozzardi). Esta filaria es transmitida por vectores como mosquitos. [1] Está extendida en muchas partes del África subsahariana, partes de América Central, América del Sur y ...
La mansonelosis incluye las enfermedades causadas por los nematodos filarias Mansonella perstans, M. ozzardi, y M. streptocerca. La transmisión se realiza a través de picaduras de mosquitos o moscas negras. Las infecciones a menudo son asintomáticas, pero pueden aparecer síntomas.

M. perstans appears to be solely a human-associated species. The primary vectors are biting midges of the genus Culicoides. M. ozzardi also seems to be associated primarily with humans, but patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) have been experimentally infected. The primary vectors are biting midges of the genus Culicoides. In some areas of South Amer...
Mansonella perstansis endemic throughout West, East, and Central Africa, and is also highly prevalent in some neotropical regions of Central and South America where it was likely introduced. M. ozzardiis a New World species with a patchy distribution, and is found in Central America, South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Suri...
In contrast to other filarial diseases (Bancroftian filariasis, onchocerciasis, and loiasis) which more commonly cause illness in infected people, the clinical presentation of most Mansonella infections generally appears to be mild; many infections are asymptomatic, particularly among individuals living in endemic regions. A complicating feature of...
Mansonella perstans is a filarial (arthropod-borne) nematode (roundworm), transmitted by tiny blood-sucking flies called midges. Mansonella perstans is one of two filarial nematodes that causes serous cavity filariasis in humans. The other filarial nematode is Mansonella ozzardi.

18 de ene. de 2018 · Abstract. Mansonellosis is a filarial disease caused by three species of filarial (nematode) parasites ( Mansonella perstans, Mansonella streptocerca, and Mansonella ozzardi) that use humans as their main definitive hosts. These parasites are transmitted from person to person by bloodsucking females from two families of flies (Diptera).

1 de sept. de 2018 · Human mansonellosis is caused by M. perstans, M. ozzardi and M. streptocerca, the three main filarial species in the genus Mansonella. Despite accumulating evidence of a high prevalence in endemic areas, there is currently no filariasis control programme targeting mansonellosis.
24 de may. de 2021 · Mansonellosis is caused by three filarial parasite species from the genus Mansonella that commonly produce chronic human microfilaraemias: M. ozzardi, M. perstans and M. streptocerca.
