Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]

, 2017
Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

The Brown Alga Bifurcaria bifurcata Presents an Anthelmintic Activity on All Developmental Stages of the Parasitic Nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri

Pathogens, 2023
The current control of gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic nematodes mainly relies on the widespread use of anthelmintics, which has inevitably led to resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new sources of antiparasitic compounds.

A stochastic model to investigate the effects of control strategies on calves exposed to Ostertagia ostertagi [PDF]

, 2016
Predicting the effectiveness of parasite control strategies requires accounting for the responses of individual hosts and the epidemiology of parasite supra- and infra-populations.

Are all hosts created equal? Partitioning host species contributions to parasite persistence in multihost communities [PDF]

, 2015
Many parasites circulate endemically within communities of multiple host species. To understand disease persistence within these communities, it is essential to know the contribution each host species makes to parasite transmission and maintenance ...

Implementation of an extended ZINB model in the study of low levels of natural gastrointestinal nematode infections in adult sheep [PDF]

, 2016
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).

Prevalence, Severity and Predisposing Factors of Gastrointestinal Parasite Infection in Polo Horses in Ibadan, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Helminthic infections are one of the most common problems that horses encounter, and they frequently result in poor body condition, which limits their work potential and efficiency.

Parasite infections in a social carnivore: Evidence of their fitness consequences and factors modulating infection load [PDF]

, 2019
There are substantial individual differences in parasite composition and infection load in wildlife populations. Few studies have investigated the factors shaping this heterogeneity in large wild mammals or the impact of parasite infections on Darwinian ...
