Age-related worm load and worm fecundity patterns in human populations, as indicated by schistosome circulating antigens.
Recently, our group determined the relationship between serum CAA levels and fecal egg counts in two foci with very intense Schistosoma mansoni transmission: Maniema (Zaire), an area endemic for S. mansoni since several decades, and Ndombo (Senegal), where transmission has only been established since a few years. The objective was to study and compare age-related worm load and worm fecundity pa...
متن کاملOverberg research projects. X. Faecal egg counts in the interpretation of nematode worm burdens in sheep.
Worm egg counts were compared with nematode worm burdens from data collected from greater than 400 sheep killed in experiments on the epidemiology of nematode parasites in the Overberg, in the winter rainfall area of the southern Cape Province. Data were analysed in several ways but no method could be found to accurately estimate the number of nematodes present from the faecal egg count in resp...
متن کاملFast Detection of Scanning Worm Infections
Worm detection and response systems must act quickly to identify and quarantine scanning worms, as when left unchecked such worms have been able to infect the majority of vulnerable hosts on the Internet in a matter of minutes [9]. We present a hybrid approach to detecting scanning worms that integrates significant improvements we have made to two existing techniques: sequential hypothesis test...

متن کاملMolecular Detection of Schistosome Infections with a Disposable Microfluidic Cassette
Parasitic helminths such as schistosomes, as well as filarial and soil-transmitted nematodes, are estimated to infect at least a billion people worldwide, with devastating impacts on human health and economic development. Diagnosis and monitoring of infection dynamics and efficacy of treatment depend almost entirely on methods that are inaccurate, labor-intensive, and unreliable. These shortcom...
