Ocular Filariasis in Human Caused by Breinlia (Johnstonema) annulipapillata Nematode, Australia

Ocular Filariasis in Human Caused by Breinlia (Johnstonema) annulipapillata Nematode, Australia

We report a human case of ocular filariasis, caused by a species of Breinlia nematode, from Queensland, Australia. Morphological and molecular evidence indicated that the nematode Breinlia (Johnstonema) annulipapillata, or a closely related taxon, likely transmitted from a macropodid marsupial host...
