background : cats play a crucial role in the epidemiology of gastrointestinal helminthic parasites and also play a major role in transmitting of these parasites through faecal contamination of soil, food or water. the aim of this study was to determine the species of gastrointestinal helminthes parasites in stray cats from a rural area of bandar-e-anzali, iran. method: gastrointestinal helminth...

present research was for study on parasitic infections of domestic ruminants in golestan province. 234 samples of the gastrointestinal tracts contents, 260 livers, 180 lungs, 350 hearts and muscles, 300 abdominal cavities and 100 eyes for infection to helminthes, 800 blood samples for protozoa and external coats of 700 animals were examined for arthropoda. results showed that 19.74% of sheep ga...

BACKGROUND Bidirectional signalling between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract is regulated at neural, hormonal, and immunological levels. Recent studies have shown that helminth infections can alter the normal gut microbiota. Studies have also shown that the gut microbiota is instrumental in the normal development, maturation and function of the brain. The pathophysiological pathways by ...

BACKGROUND Helminth infection is common in malaria endemic areas, and an interaction between the two would be of considerable public health importance. Animal models suggest that helminth infections may increase susceptibility to malaria, but epidemiological data has been limited and contradictory. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In a vaccine trial, we studied 387 one- to six-year-old children...

A total of 111 samples (43 faeces and 79 gastrointestinal tracts) of 14 wild carnivore species from 12 Argentine provinces were analyzed. Helminth eggs were identified in 73% of the faecal samples and adult worms were recovered from 81% of the gastrointestinal tracts. We found 19 helminth species. Among the most frequent findings were parasites of domestic carnivores, namely Toxocara canis, Tox...

Although it is the most prevalent helminth worldwide, Ascaris lumbricoides rarely invades the stomach. Ascaris infestation may produce gastrointestinal or biliary obstruction, liver abscess, pancreatitis, volvulus, intussusception, acute appendicitis, occult gastrointestinal bleeding, and anemia. We report here on a case of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient with gastric ascaria...

Gastrointestinal nematode infections pose a major threat to small ruminant production. is a helminth parasite that feeds on blood of small ruminant animals and causes anaemia, anorexia, loss of condition, and eventual death of the host animal. The parasite is particularly found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide [1]. In Nigeria and most developing countries, parasitic helminths cause...

Heligmosomoides polygyrus (formerly known as Nematospiroides dubius, and also referred to by some as H. bakeri) is a gastrointestinal helminth that employs multiple immunomodulatory mechanisms to establish chronic infection in mice and closely resembles prevalent human helminth infections. H. polygyrus has been studied extensively in the field of helminth-derived immune regulation and has been ...
