Uma doença parasitária causada por vermes que penetram nos tecidos e podem ser encontrados em qualquer parte do corpo humano. Esses vermes são transmitidos aos humanos pela picada de um mosquito ou mosca infectados, ou pelo consumo de água contaminada. Dependendo do subtipo, a doença pode causar inchaço crônico (linfedema), inflamação da pele, inchaços embaixo da pele e problemas nos olhos. Essa doença é um grande problema de saúde pública em muitos países tropicais e subtropicais. Seis tipos são conhecidos: filariose linfática, oncocercose, loaíase, mansonelose, dirofilariose e dracunculíase, causadas, respectivamente, por _Wuchereria bancrofti_ e vermes do gênero _Brugia_; _Onchocerca volvulus_; _Loa loa_; _Mansonella_; _Dirofilaria_; e _Dracunculus medinensis_. A eosinofilia tropical é considerada uma manifestação comum.

Emergence of a novel zoonotic brugian filarial infection during post-validation surveillance for lymphatic filariasis in Sri Lanka.
Apesar da validação da eliminação da filaríase linfática no Sri Lanka, este estudo revelou o surgimento de uma nova espécie zoonótica de filária Brugia, transmitida por cães, que causa infecções em humanos, principalmente crianças. Para médicos e pacientes, é crucial reconhecer que esta infecção exige abordagens diagnósticas e terapêuticas específicas, pois sua identificação incorreta pode levar a respostas clínicas e programáticas inadequadas. A presença de cães como reservatório significa que as estratégias de controle focadas apenas em humanos são insuficientes, sublinhando a necessidade de uma vigilância integrada de "Saúde Única" para prevenir a reemergência da doença.
🇧🇷 traduzidoCross-sectional study to assess filarial infection among the never treated individuals in selected districts in India: a study protocol.
Este estudo na Índia visa identificar e avaliar a infecção por filaríase em indivíduos que **nunca receberam tratamento** durante campanhas de administração em massa de medicamentos (MDA). O objetivo é determinar se são **potenciais reservatórios da infecção** e compreender as **razões de sua não participação**. Para **pacientes e médicos**, é vital entender esses fatores, pois isso permitirá desenhar estratégias mais eficazes, garantindo que todos sejam alcançados pelo tratamento e, assim, **acelerar a eliminação global da filaríase** até 2030.
🇧🇷 traduzidoAltitudinal and household breeding patterns of the medically important mosquitoes Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus in Nepal.
Este estudo no Nepal revelou a ampla presença de mosquitos vetores de doenças, incluindo o *Culex quinquefasciatus* (principal vetor da filariose linfática) e espécies de *Aedes* (vetores de dengue), mesmo em altitudes elevadas. Esses mosquitos, encontrados em recipientes comuns como garrafas plásticas e tambores, coexistem frequentemente nas mesmas residências, aumentando o risco de múltiplas infecções. Isso ressalta a necessidade urgente de vigilância integrada e estratégias de controle para proteger a população contra filariose e arboviroses.
🇧🇷 traduzidoNoise and neglect: Social-media signals expose attention gaps for dengue, chikungunya, lymphatic filariasis and kala-azar in India's vector-borne NTDs.
Um estudo sobre a atenção online a doenças negligenciadas na Índia revelou que a Filariase Linfática, em particular, recebe uma visibilidade desproporcionalmente alta nas mídias sociais em comparação com seu número real de casos. Para pacientes e médicos, isso indica um engajamento público significativo com o tema, sugerindo a importância de campanhas de saúde pública estratégicas e direcionadas que capitalizem essa atenção para educar sobre prevenção e tratamento, alinhando a comunicação digital com as necessidades da comunidade.
🇧🇷 traduzidoThe impact of the termination of Lymphatic Filariasis mass drug administration on Soil-transmitted Helminth prevalence in school children in Malawi.
A interrupção dos programas de tratamento em massa para Filariose Linfática em Malawi levou a um ressurgimento preocupante de infecções por vermes intestinais comuns (*Ascaris lumbricoides*) em crianças em idade escolar. Este aumento foi observado mesmo com a continuidade da quimioterapia preventiva específica para vermes, indicando que o tratamento comunitário abrangente da Filariose era crucial para manter essas infecções sob controle. Para médicos e pacientes, isso sublinha o risco de um aumento de verminoses após o término de programas de saúde pública amplos, exigindo investigação urgente sobre as causas do ressurgimento, incluindo possível resistência a medicamentos.
