Despite their importance in preventing filarial diseases, the way in which the MLs work against these parasites is unclear.
These live, exposed filarial worms stimulate development of innate, cellular and humoral immune responses that when properly stimulated, are capable of clearing all larvae or microfilariae present in the host, regardless of their individual sensitivity to MLs.
Since diethylcarbamazine at the dosages used to treat filarial infections has little direct toxicity, most of the post-treatment reactions (termed Mazzotti reactions in onchocerciasis) result from the immunological inflammatory mechanisms activated in the process of clearing and killing the skin-swelling or blood-borne microfilariae.
Under in vivo conditions, the rapid microfilarial clearance induced by IVM treatment is proposed to result from suppression of the ability of the parasite to secrete proteins that enable evasion of the host immune system.
To optimize patients' management, it is now pivotal to ascertain the interval between treatment and macrofilarial death and therefore whether re-treatments are required for complete clearance of parasites.
