Ivermectin: concentration-dependent effects on adenosine triphosphatases in adult worms of Onchocerca volvulus.
The effect of increasing concentrations of ivermectin on adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was investigated in adult worms of Onchocerca volvulus. Mean Mg- and Na,K-ATPase activities decreased significantly (F ratio = 29.82, P < 0.01 and F ratio = 28.54, P < 0.01, respectively) with increasing concentrations of ivermectin (0-100 ng/ml) in the female worms. When male and female worms we...
متن کاملMacrofilaricidal effects of chloroquine on adult Onchocerca volvulus by local infiltration of palpable onchocercal nodules.
The macrofilaricidal effects of local infiltration of high concentrations of chloroquine into the capsule of onchocercal nodules on adult worms of Onchocerca volvulus was determined. Six weeks post infiltration, histological examination of single nodules showed all adult worms to be dead. With nodule conglomerates, there was localized action of chloroquine only on the adult worms in the infiltr...
متن کاملSuccessful vaccination against Onchocerca ochengi infestation in cattle using live Onchocerca volvulus infective larvae.
Epidemiological evidence has led to the hypothesis that the concurrent and predominant transmission of Onchocerca ochengi by Simulium damnosum s.l. in sub-Saharan Africa could lead to the protection of humans against onchocerciasis caused by Onchocerca volvulus (zooprophylaxis). To gain support for this hypothesis, we investigated whether exposure to O. volvulus could protect cattle from O. och...
متن کاملViability of adult Onchocerca volvulus after six 2-weekly doses of ivermectin.
Ivermectin is a safe, effective microfilaricide and microfilarial suppressant for Onchocerca volvulus; but in single doses of 100-200 micrograms/kg body weight it has no macrofilaricidal action. The present trial aimed to determine whether 6 doses of 100 micrograms/kg ivermectin, given at 2-week intervals, would kill the adult worms. Eighty-two nodules from 28 otherwise healthy adult male Liber...
متن کاملA novel type of glutathione S-transferase in Onchocerca volvulus.
Onchocerca volvulus is a pathogenic human filarial parasite which, like other helminth parasites, is capable of evading the host's immune responses by a variety of defense mechanisms which are likely to include the detoxification and repair mechanisms of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST). In this study, we show that one of the previously described GSTs from O. volvulus appears to posse...
