Out of 602 consecutive people who had been prisoners of war in the Far East and were screened for tropical diseases, 88 (15%) were found to have Strongyloides _. stercoralis infection a mean period of 30 years after their return from the tropics. The classical strongyloid creeping eruption was the most common symptom (84%), while gastrointestinal disturbances were rare (5%). Thiabendazole was h...

Human infection varies in regions throughout the world, being heavier in the tropics (Pessoa, 1972). The disease (Cochin China diarrhoea) varies also from mild intestinal discomfort to severe malabsorption syndromes and invasion of the peritoneal cavity and abdominal organs. Fatal cases have bee...

Sporadic cases of this infection in humans have been reported in many countries (7). In France, several autochthonous cases were suspected, but because of their rarity and diffi culty in identifi cation, they are not commonly reported (8). Eggs of Tr...

The characteristics of species within a community can influence the number of species that can coexist within that community. In particular, body size can constrain how many individuals can 'fit' into a community, and overlap in resource use between species depends on differences in their body sizes. Here, using data from 18 communities of strongyloid nematodes living in the stomachs of macropo...
