Multi-parallel qPCR provides increased sensitivity and diagnostic breadth for gastrointestinal parasites of humans: field-based inferences on the impact of mass deworming [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Although chronic morbidity in humans from soil transmitted helminth (STH) infections can be reduced by anthelmintic treatment, inconsistent diagnostic tools make it difficult to reliably measure the impact of deworming programs and often miss

Small RNAs and extracellular vesicles in filarial nematodes: from nematode development to diagnostics [PDF]

, 2016
Parasitic nematodes have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to communicate with their hosts in order to survive and successfully establish an infection. The transfer of RNA within extracellular vesicles (EVs) has recently been described as a mechanism that

IgG Induced by Vaccination With Ascaris suum Extracts Is Protective Against Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Human ascariasis has a global and cosmopolitan distribution, and has been characterized as the most prevalent neglected tropical disease worldwide. The development of a preventive vaccine is highly desirable to complement current measures required for ...

Chemodiversity of Essential Oils From Eugenia uniflora L. Collected in Different Phytophysiognomies of the Coastal Region of Rio de Janeiro

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Essential oils from Eugenia uniflora collected in different coastal phytophysiognomies of Rio de Janeiro showed notable chemodiversity. GC‐MS and GC‐FID analyses revealed nine chemotypes, mainly rich in curzerene and selina‐1,3,7(11)‐trien‐8‐one. ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the yield, color, and chemical composition of Eugenia uniflora ...

Effect of cleaning /disinfection strategies on helminth infections in finishing pigs [PDF]

, 2008
Ascaris suum is the most prevalent helminth on organic pig farms (Carstensen et al., 2002) and is transmitted mainly via the faeces. The use of anthelmintics does not fit in the organic principles and preventive measures are promoted.

A polyphenol-enriched diet and Ascaris suum infection modulate mucosal immune responses and gut microbiota composition in pigs

PLoS ONE, 2017
Polyphenols are a class of bioactive plant secondary metabolites that are thought to have beneficial effects on gut health, such as modulation of mucosal immune and inflammatory responses and regulation of parasite burdens.
