Ascaris Lumbricoides

Ascaris lumbricoides--the ubiquitous roundworm.

Ascaris lumbricoides: a case report.

This is a case presentation of a multiple trauma patient who was infested with Ascaris lumbricoides, a roundworm. The infestation was undiagnosed until after extubation. Intraoperative anesthesia was uneventful and the patient was discharged 7 days after admission.

Microsatellite markers for the human nematode parasite Ascaris lumbricoides: development and assessment of utility.

We describe 35 microsatellite markers from the human parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides. We found 7 sex-linked markers and demonstrate that 26 autosomal loci can be scored reliably. These markers have high genetic variability and provide the tools to address multiple questions concerning the epidemiology, fine-scale genetic structure, host specificity, and mating systems of this parasite.

Ascaris lumbricoides infection and parasite load are associated with asthma in children.

INTRODUCTION Association between Ascaris lumbricoides infection and asthma is a controversial subject that has been studied by several authors based on the hygiene theory. This work contributes to better understanding this issue. METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sectional study involving 1,004 children from a neighborhood of low socioeconomic status in Campina Grande, Paraíba, northeastern Brazil...
