In helminthiasis disease, a part of the body is infested with worms such as pinworm, roundworm or tape worm. Typically, the worms reside in the gastrointestinal tract but may also burrow into the liver and other organs[1]. Although the majority of infections due to worms are generally limited to tropical regions, they can occur to travelers who have visited those areas and some of them can deve...

Methyl 5 [4(2-pyridinyl) -1piperazinylcarbonyl] -1-Hbenzimidazol -2yl carbamate: (CDRI Comp. 81/470) has consistently exhibited broadspectrum anthelmintic efficacy both against adult and larval stages of various helminth parasites of experimental and domestic animals by oral or parenteral route. The compound incorporated in transdermal tape has also yielded anthelmintic action. In order to incr...

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are polyphagous plant-parasitic roundworms that produce large crop losses, representing a relevant agricultural pest worldwide. After infection, they induce swollen root structures called galls containing giant cells (GCs) indispensable for nematode development. Among efficient control methods are biotechnology-based strategies that require a deep knowledge of underlyi...

Persistent infections by sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes are a major threat to important food crops all over the world. These roundworms manipulate host plant cell morphology and physiology to establish sophisticated feeding structures. Key modifications to plant cells during their transition into feeding structures are largely attributed to the activity of effectors secreted by the nematod...

PURPOSE Compounds that delay aging in model organisms may be of significant interest to anti-aging medicine, since these substances potentially provide pharmaceutical approaches to promote healthy lifespan in humans. We here aimed to test whether pharmaceutical concentrations of L-theanine, a putative anti-cancer, anti-obesity, blood pressure-lowering, and neuroprotective compound contained in ...

We report the results of a joint human-animal health investigation in a Dene community in northern Saskatchewan, where residents harvest wildlife (including moose, bear, elk, and fish), live in close contact with free roaming dogs, and lack access to permanent veterinary services. Fecal analysis of owned and free-roaming dogs over two consecutive years (N = 92, 103) identified several parasites...

Approximately one-third of humanity, especially in developing countries, is infected with parasitic roundworms or flatworms, collectively known as helminth parasites. These infections cause severe diseases, delayed physical development and mortality. A person in helminth endemic areas may be infected with these parasites all his life. These parasitic infections coincide with many other infectio...

Nematodes are non-segmented roundworms evenly distributed with various habitats ranging to approximately every ecological extremity. These the least studied organisms despite being most diversified group. critical equilibrium-maintaining factors, having implications on yield and health of plants as well well-being animals. However, taxonomic knowledge about nematodes is scarce. As a result lack...

The parasitic nematode Hysterothylacium aduncum commonly occurs in many fish species the Northeast (NE) Atlantic. parasite is considered non-pathogenic to humans. During spring and summer of 2018, lots head-on eviscerated fresh NE Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) were shipped from Norway Spain for commercialization. At arrival, presence lively roundworms (i.e. H. aduncum) transporting boxes was notice...

Aims: Intestinal parasitic infections are persistent in Africa, and we questioned here whether prevention measures imposed by the occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic 2020 could alleviate this threat lowlands city Yaoundé, Cameroon. 
 Study Design: We monitored trend intestinal parasites human environmental samples from seven subdivisions Yaounde, before (November-December 2019) during (July-Au...
