The ecto protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) are known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and survival of the intracellular parasites. However, their presence and role in filarial parasites is still unknown. We found a significant amount of tyrosine phosphatase activity in the surface antige

Parasitic nematodes may have common properties in parasitizing the host which are conferred by related parasitic proteins encoded by their genome. A novel protein characterized from bovine filarial nematode Setaria digitata was found to be present only in the parasitic nematodes and expressed at all
