Mansonella is a genus of parasitic nematodes.^[1] It includes three species that are responsible for the disease mansonelliasis: Mansonella ozzardi, M. perstans, and M. streptocerca.^[2] A potential fourth species has been identified in Gabon in 2015 and proposed as a new species Mansonella sp. "DEUX".^[3] Whole-genome sequences from Mansonella perstans, Mansonella ozzardi, and the newly proposed species Mansonella sp. "DEUX" have been assembled.^[4]^[5]

There are nine accepted species ^[1] and one proposed species:^[3]
