Figure 1: Filarial pathological outcomes
A) Lymphoedema and elephantiasis related to lymphatic filariasis. B) Depigmentation dermatitis (leopard skin) after chronic exposure to MF in onchocerciasis. C) Cross-section of an Onchcerca volvulus female, anti-WSP (Wolbachia surface protein) stain, h = hypodermis, g = gut, sMF = stretched MF within the uterus, arrow head = free MF within nodular tissue, arrow = Wolbachia in the hypodermis.
