Cytokine production in Ancylostoma duodenale infection. [PDF]

J Med Life, 2022
Cytokine response to Ancylostoma duodenale (A. duodenale) infection was measured after starting treatments with piperazine. This study aims to determine the impact of cytokine production after infection with A. duodenale before and after treatment with piperazine. Blood and stool samples of 50 patients with A.

Capsule Endoscopy in the Diagnosis of Hookworm-Induced Acute Intestinal Bleeding-A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT In endemic regions, unexplained small‐bowel bleeding should prompt consideration of parasitic etiologies even when routine investigations are unrevealing. Advanced small‐bowel imaging can directly demonstrate active sources of hemorrhage, enabling timely targeted therapy, preventing unnecessary procedures, and reducing morbidity associated ...

Anthroponotic and Zoonotic Hookworm DNA in an Indigenous Community in Coastal Ecuador: Potential Cross-Transmission between Dogs and Humans [PDF]

Pathogens
Humans can be infected with anthroponotic (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus) and with zoonotic (Ancylostoma ceylanicum, A. caninum, A. braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala) hookworms from dogs. Anthroponotic species are usually thought not

Parasitic Infections and Associated Cognitive Outcome Among School-Aged Children in Africa: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Brain Behav
Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.

Morphological identification of hookworm species in five regions of Cameroon [PDF]

Helminthologia
Infections with hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) remain a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. However, the information about the distribution of each species is inaccurate in many countries since their
