The chemokine CXCL12 is essential for the clearance of the filaria Litomosoides sigmodontis in resistant mice.
Litomosoides sigmodontis is a cause of filarial infection in rodents. Once infective larvae overcome the skin barrier, they enter the lymphatic system and then settle in the pleural cavity, causing soft tissue infection. The outcome of infection depends on the parasite's modulatory ability and...
