Bma-LAD-2, an intestinal cell adhesion protein, as a potential therapeutic target for lymphatic filariasis

2021-09-09

Abstract excerpt

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a debilitating disease that afflicts over 70 million people worldwide. It is caused by the parasitic nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti , Brugia malayi , and Brugia timori . While efforts to eliminate LF have seen substantial success, complete eradication will likely require more time and resources than predicted. Identifying new drug and vaccine targets in adult filariae could help eli...
