Trichostrongylus colubriformis Nematode Infections in Humans, France
To the Editor: In April 2009, a 47-year-old woman in Saint-Jeannet in southern France reported stomach aches, abdominal bloating, and occasional diarrhea. Blood analyses found an increased eosinophil level (8,800 cells/mm 3), which represented 52% of 16,900 leukocytes/mm 3. Parasitologic examinations for helminths were conducted with 6 fecal specimens obtained during June 9– July 2, 2009. Analy...

متن کاملEffects of the Intestinal Nematode Trichostrongylus Colubriformis on Ruminal Acetate Metabolism in Young Sheep
Rates of production and oxidation of ruminal acetate were measured in young sheep (1) infected with T. colubriformis; (2) kept worm-free and pair-fed to (1); and (3) kept worm-free and given feed ad lib. Both voluntary food consumption and the production rate of acetate were reduced by up to 76 per cent in sheep on treatment (1) compared with (3). Acetate production rate was 30 per cent lower i...
متن کاملImmune response and performance of growing Santa Ines lambs to artificial Trichostrongylus colubriformis infections.
This study was carried out to evaluate the immune response and the impact of Trichostrongylus colubriformis infections on the performance of growing Santa Ines lambs. Thirty male lambs, 3-4 months of age, were maintained in individual pens and restrictively randomised by weight into 3 treatment groups: (1) infected group, artificially infected with 2500 T. colubriformis larvae, three times a we...
متن کاملLeptin concentrations and the immune-mediated reduction of feed intake in sheep infected with the nematode Trichostrongylus colubriformis.
The hypothesis that increases in the concentration of the anorectic peptide leptin may be responsible for the immune-mediated reduction in feed intake (FI) during gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep was investigated. In a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design, the first factor was age at the start of infection (5 months old v. 17 months old). The second factor was parasite infection (no infection v. admi...
