  • Patent number: 9758840
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods, and compositions for identifying a subject as infected with a parasite by detecting nucleic acid from an endosymbiont of the parasite in a sample from the subject. In certain embodiments, the parasite is a nematode that infects humans or dogs (e.g., D. immitis, O. volvulus, W. bancrofti, B. timori, or B. malayi) and the endosymbiont is Wolbachia.
