Cancer and parasitic infections: similarities and opportunities for the development of new control tools
(Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015)
Infection Strategies of Intestinal Parasite Pathogens and Host Cell Responses
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2016)
Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium sp., and Entamoeba histolytica are important pathogenic intestinal parasites and are amongst the leading causes worldwide of diarrheal illness in humans. Diseases caused by these organisms, ...
Brazilian catfish parasitized by Epistylis sp. (Ciliophora, Epistylididae), with description of parasite intensity score
(2013-01-01)
The determination of mean intensity of parasitism for colony-forming sessile protozoan such as Epistylis has been a great problem in parasitological studies. Some alternatives have been proposed by researchers for laboratory ...
Fecal avoidance and gastrointestinal parasitism in semi-free ranging woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii)
(Springer, 2023)
Abstract: Epidemiological studies have identified numerous environmental and individual characteristics underlying the heterogeneity of gastrointestinal parasitism within host populations. However, the contribution of ...
Amplicon sequencing reveals complex infection in infants congenitally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi and informs the dynamics of parasite transmission.
(Oxford University Press, 2023)
Congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi is an important source of new Chagas infections worldwide. The mechanisms of congenital transmission remain poorly understood, but there is evidence that parasite factors are ...
Intestinal protozoan infections in the immunocompromised host
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2013)
Purpose of review: Intestinal protozoa are becoming increasingly recognized as significant pathogens in immunocompromised hosts. However, pathogenesis of infection is still poorly understood, diagnostic tests remain ...
Infection and Hyperinfection with Strongyloides stercoralis: Clinical Presentation, Etiology of Disease, and Treatment Options
(Springer, 2014)
Human strongyloidiasis is a neglected global parasitic disease that affects large populations, especially in poorer regions of the world. Improved diagnostic tools, including serology and molecular tests, are demonstrating ...
Induction of haem oxygenase-1 increases infection of dog macrophages by L. infantum
(2017-12-01)
We aimed to induce and inhibit HO-1, ascertaining its effect on infection rate, parasite load and the levels of superoxide, reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), TNF-alpha and IL-10 in cultured macrophages from ...
Factors associated with parasitic infection amongst street children in orphanages across Lima, Peru
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)
Infection caused by intestinal parasites has significant public health consequences amongst children in the developing world. Street children are an under-studied group of society subjected to increased health risks when ...
