Human and veterinary filarial nematode infections are a major health concern in tropical countries. They are transmitted by biting insects and mosquitoes. Lymphatic filariasis, a group of filarial infections caused by Brugia spp. and Wucheria bancrofti affect more than 120 million people worldwide. Infected individuals develop swollen limbs and disfigurement, leading to an inability to work and ostracization from society. Control and prophylaxis for these infections involve mass drug administration combinations of anthelmintics including diethylcarbamazine (DEC). DEC has actions on microfilariae, but its effects on adult worms are less pronounced. The SLO-1 (BK) channel activator, emodepside, kills adults of many filarial species. However, the in vivo efficacy of emodepside is suboptimal against B. malayi, possibly due to reduced bioavailability in the lymphatic system. Expressing different slo-1 splice variants in B. malayi also affects sensitivity to emodepside. This study explores the potentiation of emodepside mediated paralysis by DEC in adult female B. malayi. Worminator motility measurements show that co-application of DEC and emodepside increases the potency of emodepside 4-fold. The potentiation of the emodepside effect persists even after the worms recover (desensitize) from the initial effects of DEC. RNAi knock-down demonstrates that the DEC-mediated potentiation of emodepside requires the presence of TRP-2 channels. Our study demonstrates that the addition of DEC could enhance the effect of emodepside where bioavailability or activity against a specific species may be low.
