Strongylids are a group of worms that infect the digestive tract horses consisting Strongylus vulgaris, equinus, edentates and Cyathostomes. There is no reported prevalence data on infection in East Java. Study urgently needed because this worm one causes zoonotic diseases. This study aimed to identify morphologically. Identification using morphological methods. A total 65 horse faeces Java, i....

The study of products copper alloys the Lomatov culture X-XI centuries from collection Cherdyn Museum revealed two types patina. first pseudomorphic might be composed intergrowths chlorides formed upon interaction with sweat hands, or a zonal rim cuprite-malachite-azurite composition, due to groundwater. second type, which distorts shape original product, is associated leaching and other metals...

Using sera obtained from Angi'ostroirglylus cantonensis-infected or -transferred rats and immunized guinea pigs with A. cantonensis hemogenate, positive circumoval and circumlarval precipitate reactions on living A. cantonensis at various developmental stages were recognized after incubation at 340C for 24hr. Characteristic precipitates were mainly formed on the excretory pore and cuticle of th...

The susceptibility of several strains of inbred mice to infection with the filarial worm Brugia pahangi has been examined. BALB/C, C57BL/10, C3H/He, 101, CBA/Ca mice, congenitally asplenic (DH/+) mice and their normal litter-mates (+/+) were each challenged by the intraperitoneal inoculation of 50 infective larvae. During the first four weeks of infection high (19-42%) larval recoveries were ob...

TsPmy is a paramyosin expressed by parasitic Trichinella spiralis and confers a protective immunity when its recombinant protein or DNA was used as an immunogen. To improve its immunogenicity and vaccine efficacy, we conducted a heterologous prime-boost strategy by orally delivering one dose of TsPmy DNA carried by attenuated Salmonella typhimurium (SL7207), followed by two doses of recombinant...

Introduction Onchocerciasis, or ‘river-blindness’, is a disease caused by infection with the filarial worm, Onchocerca volvulus. The parasite is transmitted to human hosts by infected female ‘blackflies’, Simulium spp., as they feed on the host’s blood. Whilst feeding, the fly secretes saliva containing infective larvae. These larvae enter the host’s subcutaneous tissue, migrate, and form nodul...

Relationships between egg production and infectivity were studied with infective larvae of Trichostrongylus colubriformis which had been stored for up to 22 weeks at 24 degrees C. After different storage times, larvae were administered to lambs and the number of parasites which reached the adult stage was counted five weeks after infection. Egg production was estimated for the same batches of a...

Sleep is characterized by reduced muscle activity resulting in reduced movement and a typical posture compatible with relaxed muscles. Prior to each molt, C. elegans larvae go through a phase of behavioral quiescence called Lethargus. Lethargus has sleep-like properties, but a specific posture has not yet been described. Do C. elegans larvae relax their muscles during sleep and do they assume a...

Terrestrial gastropods were collected, 15 June to 25 November 1994, from beneath cardboard sheets on deer range in northeastern Minnesota (USA) and examined individually for larvae of Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, the meningeal worm of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Overall, 10 (0.08%) of 12,096 snails and slugs were infected with a mean (+/- SD) of 3.2 +/- 2.5 P. tenuis larvae. The ...

An infection with the cat lungworm, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, can be subclinical, but it also cause severe respiratory clinical signs. Larvae excretion, antibody levels, assessment findings of system and diagnostic imaging were recorded compared for six cats experimental aelurostrongylosis. In five cats, patency started 33–47 days post (pi), two excreted larvae only in long intervals low numb...
