The filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis. Filarial nematodes are tissue and gut parasites of a wide range of vertebrates, including humans. This species is a rodent model for species, such as O. volvulus, that cause human diseases, affecting over 120 million people. See NEMBASE3 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes. |
