Effects of the Zanzibar School-Based Deworming Program on Iron Status of Children. [PDF]
We evaluated the effects of the Zanzibar school-based deworming program on the iron status of primary school children. Parasitologic and nutritional assessments were carried out at baseline, 6 mo, and 12 mo in 4 nonprogram schools (n = 1002), 4 schools ...

Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a zoonotic disease of variable severity. The typical immune response is driven by an exaggerated humoral immune response. Protective immunity is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines that enhance macrophage leishmanicidal activity. Objective: To evaluate the cutaneous and the systemic immune responses as well

ABSTRACT Monogeneans are among the most problematic ectoparasites in finfish aquaculture. Plant‐derived compounds have been widely explored as therapeutic agents, yet their efficacy and safety have not been quantitatively synthesized across studies. This study provides a meta‐analysis of plant‐based treatments against monogeneans, integrating 453 in ...

A study on some aspects of the pathogenicity, diagnosis and control of gastrointestinal nematodes in deer : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The most important parasites in farmed red deer are Dictyocaulus eckerti and gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN). The overall aim of these studies was to develop an understanding about GIN parasites in red deer, including their pathogenicity, diagnosis ...

Exploring 6‐Hydroxy‐3‐Aryl/Heteroarylcoumarins as Promising Candidates Against Trypanosoma cruzi
New therapies are urgently needed for Chagas disease, and screening of 6‐hydroxy‐3‐aryl/heteroarylcoumarin derivatives identified highly selective compounds with potent activity against T. cruzi. In particular, derivative 1f showed submicromolar trypomastigote potency, dual‐stage activity, and inhibition of amastigote‐to‐trypomastigote differentiation,

Implementation of an extended ZINB model in the study of low levels of natural gastrointestinal nematode infections in adult sheep [PDF]
Background: In this study, two traits related with resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) were measured in 529 adult sheep: faecal egg count (FEC) and activity of immunoglobulin A in plasma (IgA).
