Experimental human infection with the dog hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum

Medical Journal of Australia, 2003
To investigate possible routes for human infection by the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum). DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANT: Relatively small numbers of infective larvae were administered orally and percutaneously to an informed healthy volunteer (J K L) under medical supervision, at intervals between May 1998 and May 1999.Symptoms; weekly blood ...

The Effect of Ancylostoma Caninum Infection on Erythropoiesis in Dogs

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1961
Summary Radioactive tracer technics were used to study erythropoietic activity in dogs infected with Ancylostoma caninum. Uninfected animals served as controls. The erythropoietic response of these dogs was evaluated by means of the rate of removal of 59Fe from the plasma and its incorporation into the red blood cells. Results revealed that in infected

Ancylostoma caninum: Fine structure of intestinal epithelium

Experimental Parasitology, 1969
Abstract A study of the ultrastructure of the intestine of Ancyclostoma caninum reveals several new features: The presence of glycogen, the presence of intramitochondrial crystalloids, the fine structure of pigment granules, and the differences between mid- and hindgut.

Ancylostoma caninum: Analysis of antigens of the canine hookworm

Experimental Parasitology, 1970
Abstract Soluble antigens of A. caninum infective larvae and adults were enumerated and characterized by immunoelectrophoretic analysis with antisera produced in rabbits. The larval antigen was separated into 18 distinct components with homologous antisera, and an adult A.

Effect of thiabendazole on Ancylostoma caninum.

Archives of dermatology, 2002
Thiabendazole inhibits nematode development before the third stage is reached. The minimum effective concentration is 0.1 microgram/ml during the first 48 hours of development and 1.0 microgram/ml at 72 hours of development. The drug has no effect on the third stage but is again effective on larvae that have undergone 72 hours of development in the ...

Ancylostoma caninum and Other Canine Hookworms

2020
The hookworm Ancylostoma caninum is the most common nematode parasite of dogs. Cosmopolitan in distribution, A. caninum is a serious canine pathogen, causing blood loss, anemia, and sometimes death, especially in puppies. In addition, A. caninum and related hookworms are zoonoses, and are capable of causing disease in humans.

Effect of Dichlorvos on Eggs and Larvae of Ancylostoma Caninum

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1971
Abstract The larvicidal effect of Dichlorvos® was evaluated against the free-living stages of Ancylostoma caninum in Harada-Mori and charcoal cultures containing Dichlorvos resin pellets. The effect of single pellets on the larvae in water was tested also by transferring pellets periodically, and by exposing larvae for one period and allowing various ...

Pyrantel Resistance in the Canine Hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum [PDF]

Drug resistance is one of the greatest challenges facing parasitologists worldwide at this time.While the livestock and equine industries have been most affected to date, the fields of human andcompanion animal medicine are also potentially vulnerable.

Strategies for the Storage of Ancylostoma caninum Third-Stage Larvae

Journal of Parasitology, 2008
Although cryopreservation protocols for storage of hookworm larvae have been described, the circumstances under which the technique is necessary to ensure larval survival are not well defined. The motility of infective-stage larvae (as judged by observation) and their ability to migrate through canine skin in vitro were measured over a 7-mo period in ...

Comparative Morphology of Ancylostoma tubaeforme (Zeder, 1800) and Ancylostoma caninum (Ercolani, 1859)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1962
As a result of studies of Ancylostoma from European, African, and Australian dogs and cats, it was found that dogs harbored A. caninum and cats A. tubaeforme. A detailed study of these hookworms from dogs and cats in the United States confirmed the observations made by other investigators that A. caninum is not the common species in cats. A. tubaeforme
