Kato–Katz thick smears as a DNA source of soil-transmitted helminths

Journal of Helminthology, 2018
AbstractDespite the reduction in the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthiases in many regions of the world, morbidity rates remain high in some rural regions. The Kato–Katz technique is a simple, inexpensive and field-applicable tool commonly used for the diagnosis and worm-burden characterization of these infections.

Suitability of Mitochondrial DNA for Assaying Interindividual Genetic Variation in Small Helminths

The Journal of Parasitology, 1992
The current paucity of data on the genetic structure of parasitic helminth populations results partly from the lack of a suitable molecular technique for assigning genotypes to small individuals. This report describes the cloning of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a small parasitic nematode, Ostertagia ostertagi, and the potential use of this cloned

Prospects on the Application of DNA Barcoding on Soil-Transmitted Helminths in Children

Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2017
AbstractSince more than a decade, DNA barcoding has been widely used to examine biological samples and differentiate species, as well as employed in ecological and conservational studies. There is a growing interest of DNA barcoding, particularly in medical parasitology, but its potential utility in soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remains unclear ...

Parasite Inventories and DNA-based Taxonomy: Lessons from Helminths of Freshwater Fishes in a Megadiverse Country

Journal of Parasitology, 2010
Freshwater fish helminth parasites are undoubtedly the most well-known group among vertebrate parasites in Mexico; these parasites include 37 adult and 43 larval (metacercariae) species of trematodes, 62 monogeneans, 15 adult and 18 larval (metacestode) cestodes, 6 adult and 4 larval (cystacanth) acanthocephalans, and 54 adult and 15 larval nematodes ...

Helminth infection suppresses T-cell immune response to HIV-DNA-based vaccine in mice

Vaccine, 2006
A number of HIV-1 vaccines are in various phases of clinical trials and many more are in the developmental pipeline. Vaccines are especially needed for developing countries where morbidity and mortality due to HIV/AIDS is most severe, the prevalence of HIV infection is highest, and its incidence is often still rising dramatically. Individuals living in

Differences in DNA sequence recognition by the heat-shock factors of Drosophila melanogaster and the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 1995
It was recently shown that schistosome extracts contain heat-shock factor (HSF) activity that correlates with the pattern of hsp70 mRNA levels at different developmental stages of the parasite (Levy-Holtzman and Schechter (1994) Parasitology 108, 35-42).

Development of a protocol for soil transmitted helminths DNA extraction from feces by combining commercially available solutions

2022
ABSTRACT Background One of the main challenges for the mass introduction of molecular diagnostics of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) into clinical practice is the lack of a generally recognized effective method for isolating parasitic DNA from fecal samples.

DNA fingerprints of helminth parasites from freshwater fishes of Marathwada Region, (M.S) India

Ecology, Environment and Conservation
DNA fingerprinting is one of the most significant discoveries of the late twentieth century and has transformed forensic investigations. The DNA fingerprints of helminth parasites viz., Senga rupchandensis n.sp., Orientocreadium striatusae n.sp., from freshwater fish, Channa striatus (Bloch, 1793) and Circumoncobothrium jadhavae n.sp., Genarchopsis ...
