Detection of specific antibodies in dogs infected with Angiostrongylus vasorum.
Canine angiostrongylosis, caused by the nematode Angiostrongylus vasorum, is an emerging cardiopulmonary disease in Europe which can be fatal if left untreated. We determined the diagnostic value of the specific detection of antibodies against A. vasorum adult somatic antigen, adult excretory/secretory (E/S) antigen and first stage larvae (L1) somatic antigen in ELISAs. Also, A. vasorum adult s...
متن کاملImmune-mediated haemolytic anaemia: possible association with Ancylostoma caninum infection in three dogs.
Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) may be primary or secondary. In primary IMHA, no underlying cause can be found, whereas secondary IMHA is triggered by an underlying cause, such as neoplasia, infectious diseases, or drugs. This paper describes 3 dogs with typical signs of IMHA that was possibly associated with the intestinal parasite Ancylostoma caninum. As intestinal helminths can be ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biochemical, Hematological and Parasitological Parameters of Protein-Deficient Hamsters Infected with Ancylostoma ceylanicum
BACKGROUND Hookworms infect millions of people worldwide and can cause severe clinical symptoms in their hosts. Prospective cohort studies in Brazil show high rates of hookworm reinfection in malnourished children compared to well-nourished children, despite previous treatment. Additionally, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections can worsen the nutritional status of affected populations. Th...
متن کاملAngiostrongylus vasorum: Experimental Infection and Larval Development in Omalonyx matheroni
The susceptibility and suitability of Omalonyx matheroni as an intermediate host of Angiostrongylus vasorum and the characteristics of larval recovery and development were investigated. Mollusks were infected, and from the 3rd to the 25th day after infection, larvae were recovered from groups of 50 individuals. The first observation of L2 was on the 5th day, and the first observation of L3 was ...
متن کاملDetection of infection with Angiostrongylus vasorum (Nematoda, Strongylida) by PCR
Background The French heart worm Angiostrongylus vasorum is a parasitic nematode of the pulmonary arteries and heart of canines often with severe and in some cases fatal outcome. The diagnosis is based on detection and species identification of larvae in faeces which can be problematic in Veterinary praxis especially in cases with low excreting animals. A reliable technique is thus needed for c...
