Factors Affecting Helminth Abundances in Synanthropic Rodents of an Urban Environment
(Bentham Open, 2018-10)
Background:Current levels of urbanization cause changes in the ecology of hosts, the pathogens, or both, promoting the proliferation of zoonotic diseases. Rodents are a good biological model for the development of pathogen ...
Helminths turning on the NLRP3 inflammasome: Pros and cons
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Helminth infections can activate multimeric protein complexes called inflammasomes. In this forum we summarize the main effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including control of excessive Th2 response and ...
Helminth Diversity in Synanthropic Rodents from an Urban Ecosystem
(Springer, 2017-09)
Richness and diversity of parasites depend on a set of interrelated factors related to the characteristics of the host, the environment and the parasites itself. In the City of Buenos Aires, rodent communities vary according ...
Drug transfer into target helminth parasites
(Elsevier, 2007-03)
The pharmacokinetics of an anthelmintic drug includes the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination from the host and determines the concentration of the active drug that reaches the location ...
Helminth community from Azara's grass mouse (Akodon azarae) in three habitats with different land use in farming systems of Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-03)
In the Pampa region of Argentina, farming activities have been performed since the beginning of the 20th century, but in the 1990s, land-use patterns rapidly changed towards intensive agriculture and poultry breeding. This ...
Community Structure of Helminth Parasites of Leptodactylus bufonius (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from Northeastern Argentina
(Academia Sinica, 2012-12)
The main goals of this study were to determine the richness and diversity of helminth parasites of Leptodactylus bufonius at the component and infracommunity levels and evaluate whether the composition of the parasite ...
New host, geographical records, and factors affecting the prevalence of helminths infection from synanthropic rodents in Yucatán, Mexico
(Versita, 2017-09)
The aim of this paper was to study the occurrence of helminths in Mus musculus and Rattus rattus from urban, suburban and rural settlements in Yucatán, Mexico; and to analyse the host factors (e.g. sex) related to helminths? ...
The protein and microRNA cargo of extracellular vesicles from parasitic helminths – current status and research priorities
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Helminth parasites have a remarkable ability to persist within their mammalian hosts, which is largely due to their secretion of molecules with immunomodulatory properties. Although the soluble components of helminth ...
Phylogenetic and ecological factors affecting the sharing of helminths between native and introduced rodents in Central Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-10)
In order to analyse the effect of hosts' relationships and the helminthic load on the switching of parasites between native and introduced hosts, we sampled rodents belonging to two suborders from Central Chile. We compared ...
Helminth Infections: Recognition and Modulation of the Immune Response by Innate Immune Cells
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-04)
The survival of helminths in the host over long periods of time is the result of a process of adaptation or dynamic co-evolution between the host and the parasite. However, infection with helminth parasites causes damage ...
