Arthropod
An arthropod (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Black fly
A black fly (sometimes called a buffalo gnat, turkey gnat, or white socks) is any member of the family Simuliidae of the Culicomorpha infraorder.

Brugia malayi
Brugia malayi is a nematode (roundworm), one of the three causative agents of lymphatic filariasis in humans.

Brugia timori
Brugia timori is a human filarial parasitic nematode (roundworm) which causes the disease "Timor filariasis." While this disease was first described in 1965, the identity of Brugia timori as the causative agent was not known until 1977.

Dirofilaria
Dirofilaria is a genus of nematodes, or roundworms, in the family Onchocercidae.

Elephantiasis
Elephantiasis is the gross enlargement and hardening of limbs or body parts due to tissue swelling.

Filariasis
Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by an infection with roundworms of the Filarioidea type.
New!!: Filarioidea and Filariasis · See more »
Generalist and specialist species
A generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet).

Horse-fly
Horse-flies or horseflies (for other names, see common names) are true flies in the family Tabanidae in the insect order Diptera.
New!!: Filarioidea and Horse-fly · See more »
Host (biology)
In biology and medicine, a host is an organism that harbours a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest (symbiont), the guest typically being provided with nourishment and shelter.

Loa loa
Loa loa is the filarial nematode (roundworm) species that causes ''Loa loa'' filariasis.

Loa loa filariasis
Loa loa filariasis is a skin and eye disease caused by the nematode worm Loa loa.

Mansonella ozzardi
Mansonella ozzardi is a parasite in the phylum of Nematoda.

Mansonella perstans
Mansonella perstans is a vector-borne human filarial nematode, transmitted by tiny blood-sucking flies called midges.

Mansonella streptocerca
Mansonella streptocerca, (formerly Diptalonema streptocerca), is the scientific name of a human parasitic roundworm causing the disease streptocerciasis.

Nematode
The nematodes or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes).

Onchocerca volvulus
Onchocerca volvulus is a nematode that causes onchocerciasis (river blindness), and is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide after trachoma.

Onchocerciasis
Onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness, is a disease caused by infection with the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus.

Onchocercidae
The Onchocercidae are a family of nematodes in the superfamily Filarioidea.
New!!: Filarioidea and Onchocercidae · See more »
Parasitism
In evolutionary biology, parasitism is a relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or in another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.
New!!: Filarioidea and Parasitism · See more »
Pathogen
In biology, a pathogen (πάθος pathos "suffering, passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") or a '''germ''' in the oldest and broadest sense is anything that can produce disease; the term came into use in the 1880s.

Pericardium
The pericardium is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels.
New!!: Filarioidea and Pericardium · See more »
Pleural cavity
The pleural cavity is the thin fluid-filled space between the two pulmonary pleurae (known as visceral and parietal) of each lung.

In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy.
New!!: Filarioidea and Taxonomic rank · See more »
Vector (epidemiology)
In epidemiology, a disease vector is any agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism; most agents regarded as vectors are organisms, such as intermediate parasites or microbes, but it could be an inanimate medium of infection such as dust particles.
