Helminth Infections Mediated DNA Damage: Mechanisms and Consequences

Single Cell Biology, 2015
According to an estimate, the chronic infections caused by certain pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites contribute to about 18% of the global burden of cancer; helminth infections attributing to only small part of it. Carcinogenesis associated with the helminthes infections induced development of cancer is a complicated event ...

Limitations of PCR detection of filarial DNA in human stools from subjects non-infected with soil-transmitted helminths [PDF]

Parasite, 2021
The standard techniques for diagnosis of human filariasis are the microscopic examination of blood smears or skin biopsies, which are relatively invasive and poorly sensitive at low levels of infection. Recently, filarial DNA has been detected in fecal samples from non-human primates in Central Africa.

Omega-Class Glutathione Transferases Protect DNA from Oxidative Stress in Pathogenic Helminth Reproductive Cells

Antioxidants, 2023
Pathogenic helminths have evolved mechanisms to preserve reproductive function while surviving long-term in the host via robust protective responses. A protective role of antioxidant enzymes in preventing DNA degradation has long been proposed, but little evidence has been provided.

DNA amplification approaches for the diagnosis of key parasitic helminth infections of humans

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2011
Parasitic helminths of humans are a major public health threat, particularly in developing countries. The rapid and reliable diagnosis of helminth infections is central to their control as well as for environmental monitoring and disease surveillance. Effective diagnosis is dependent on the sensitivity, specificity and reliability of the tests employed.

Helminth Coinfection Does Not Affect Therapeutic Effect of a DNA Vaccine in Mice Harboring Tuberculosis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
Helminthiasis and tuberculosis (TB) coincide geographically and there is much interest in exploring how concurrent worm infections might alter immune responses against bacilli and might necessitate altered therapeutic approaches. A DNA vaccine that codifies heat shock protein Hsp65 from M.

FREEZABILITY, DNA INTEGRITY AND FERTILIZING CAPACITY OF SPERMATOZOA OF FRIESIAN BULLS TREATED WITH ANTI - HELMINTHIC DRUGS [PDF]

Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2011
Effect of three different anti-helminthic drugs  (ivermectin, levamisole and albendazole) on quality and fertility of spermatozoa of frozen-thawed semen of Frisian bulls .Animals were divided into four groups, control untreated group, and bulls treated with 200 µg/kg of ivermectin (IVM), 7.5 mg/kg of levamisole (LEV), and 10 mg/kg of albendazole (ABZ),

Chalone-like inhibition of DNA synthesis in helminths.

Folia parasitologica, 1985
Chalone-like inhibitory activity was found in extracts from tissues of Taenia crassiceps cysticercus and tissues of adult Ascaris suum. The inhibitory effects were partially species nonspecific: The extracts from T. crassiceps larvae inhibit both T. crassiceps and Mesocestoides corti larvae DNA synthesis. Extracts from A. suum, however, inhibit only T.

Characterizing the Helminth Community of the Mountain Gazelle (Gazella gazella Pallas, 1766) Through DNA Metabarcoding

Acta Parasitologica
Abstract Purpose Understanding parasite diversity in wild and captive animal populations is vital for their individual health and ecosystem dynamics. The helminth community in mountain gazelles (Gazella gazella Pallas, 1766), particularly in the isolated northernmost population in Türkiye, remains poorly understood ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
