NIAID/NIH Filariasis Research Reagent Resource Center (FR3)

Welcome to the official site of the National Institute of Health funded Filariasis Research Reagent Resource Center.

New Additions

 
ComputerClipart 
New Filarial Genome Information available from the Broad Institute on Loa loa, W. bancrofti and O.volvulus, compiled into a new Filarial Worm Database that links to B. malayi, C. elegans, and filarial Wolbachia endosymbiont genome data!  See the FR3 Filarial Genomics and Bioinformatic section for more information from Tom Nutman.

Serum banks updated:  Click the syringe to take you to Molecular Resources for updated inventories on O. volvulus and filariasis serum samples.
 
 
news_iconLive RSS feed to Pubmed
Featuring the latest publications on filariasis and related subjects.  Scroll to the panel underneath 'Upcoming Events' on the left hand side of this page, and click the pubmed:filariasis window.  Search terms include: filariasis, Brugia, Wolbachia, Wuchereria, filaria, Onchocerca, Loa, and Mansonella.  Articles shown have been published in the last 30 days.
 
 landmann-2cPictures and videos submitted by filariasis researchers  

A new section highlighting exceptional pictures and videos of filariasis, filarial worms, and their vectors is now available.  Want to show off your favorite captured images?  Please submit your entries to Shelly Michalski (michalsk@uwosh.edu).  We will add copyright information to all submissions (in the submitter's name) prior to posting.

Updated monthly by UGA Parasite Resources, includes numbers of infected animals and microfilaremia estimates.

BpBmRapds Helpful tips for filariasis researchers

How much RNA is there in an L3?  How do I handle worms without damaging them?  Come here for helpful hints, and please send in your own!

FR3 Logo Contest - Now You Can See the Competition! (Eight designs currently entered).  

Do you have underutilized artistic skills?  We're calling on all FR3 users to help us design a logo that can be used on official communications, advertisements and displays.  Check out the logo used by the NIH NIAID MR4 (Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center) for inspiration.  The winner of our contest will not only have the honor of their creation symbolizing the FR3, but will also win a FANTASTIC prize that will make them the envy of all their peers - a T shirt silkscreened with the new logo!  Click here to see the competition!  Submit all entries to Shelly Michalski (michalsk@uwosh.edu). 

New FR3 Orders

We hope that the transition of submitting orders through the new website is smooth, and that the process is more user friendly.  To be safe, please download your order confirmations in .pdf format and store them in case there are problems in transmission.  Should you encounter any problems, please contact the ordering person at the facility (Parasite Resources or Molecular Resources) that you are using, and have a copy ready in case they need it to process your order.

New NIH Solicitation:  Nomination of Human Eukaryotic Pathogens and Invertebrate Vectors of Infectious Diseases for Genomic Sequencing

This Request seeks scientific community nominations of additional human eukaryotic pathogens and invertebrate vectors of infectious diseases to be considered by NHGRI and NIAID as candidates for genomic sequencing.  A  joint NHGRI/NIAID initiative on Pathogens and Vectors.
