Helminth species richness in wild wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus, is enhanced by the presence of the intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus.
We analysed 3 independently collected datasets of fully censused helminth burdens in wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus, testing the a priori hypothesis of Behnke et al. (2005) that the presence of the intestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus predisposes wood mice to carrying other species of helminths. In Portugal, mice carrying H. polygyrus showed a higher prevalence of other helminths but t...
متن کاملHeligmosomoides polygyrus inhibits established colitis in IL-10-deficient mice.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is prevalent in industrialized countries, but rare in less-developed countries. Helminths, common in less-developed countries, may induce immunoregulatory circuits protective against IBD. IL-10(-/-) mice given piroxicam develop severe and persistent colitis. Lamina propria mononuclear cells from colitic IL-10(-/-) mice released IFN-gamma and IL-12. The ongoing p...
متن کاملHeligmosomoides polygyrus reduces infestation of Ixodes ricinus in free-living yellow-necked mice, Apodemus flavicollis.
Free-living animals are usually inhabited by a community of parasitic species that can interact with each other and alter both host susceptibility and parasite transmission. In this study we tested the prediction that an increase in the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus would increase the infestation of the tick Ixodes ricinus, in free-living yellow-necked mice, Apodemus flavi...
متن کاملHeligmosomoides polygyrus and Trypanosoma congolense infections in mice: effect of immunisation by abbreviated larval infection.
Concurrent African trypanosome and gastrointestinal helminth infections are prevalent in sub-humid savannah where they are endemic. However, acquired resistance in animals varies with their responder status and exposure. As a guide to study in the definitive hosts, the effects of Trypanosoma congolense infection on the development and maintenance of homologous Heligmosomoides polygyrus resistan...
متن کاملFactors affecting the efficacy of ivermectin against Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematospiroides dubius) in mice.
The efficacy of ivermectin against Heligmosomoides polygyrus was investigated in 5 mouse strains (CFLP, NIH, C57Bl10, BALB/c and CBA) using a variety of dose levels, and subcutaneous and oral administration. Heligmosomoides polygyrus were not completely eliminated when 5 mg kg-1 of ivermectin was given 6 days after infection, but 10 mg kg-1 was totally effective. Significant mouse-strain variat...
