Gnathostoma spinigerum: Immunodepression in experimental infected mice

Experimental Parasitology, 2012
Mice were infected with 8- or 25-infective worms of advanced third stage Gnathostoma spinigerum larvae (L3) which were obtained from natural infected eels. On day 14, 60 and 200 post infections (PI), spleen cells of infected mice were tested for lymphoproliferative responses in vitro against the mitogen and specific L3 somatic antigen in order to ...

Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Gnathostoma nipponicum

Journal of Parasitology, 2003
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were produced against the proteins of advanced third-stage larvae (AdL3) of Gnathostoma nipponicum. Six mAbs (Gn2C3, Gn2H3, Gn4C3, Gn4E9, GnSH1, and Gn10B7) were obtained as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Eosinophilic Meningoradiculomyelitis Caused by Gnathostoma spinigerum

Archives of Neurology, 1983
A 51-year-old man had excruciating pains in the left arm and chest approximately four weeks after ingestion of live loaches. Eosinophilia, eosinophilic pleocytosis in the CSF, and a high serum IgE level were noted. Skin tests and antigen-antibody reactions were positive for Gnathostoma infection.

Eosinophilic myeloencephalitis caused by gnathostoma spinigerum

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1970
Pathological findings in the central nervous system in 9 fatal cases of eosinophilic myeloencephalitis are reported. Eosinophilic pleocytosis with signs and symptoms of central nervous system involvement were observed. Macroscopic haemorrhagic and necrotic areas or tracks, and subarachnoid, intracerebral and intraventricular haemorrhages were prominent

Life cycle of Gnathostoma nipponicum Yamaguti, 1941

Journal of Helminthology, 1992
ABSTRACTThe life cycle of Gnathostoma nipponicum was examined by field survey and by experimental infection of animals with the larvae. Naturally infected larval G. nipponicum were found in loaches, catfish, and snakes. Experimentally, loaches, killifishes, frogs, salamanders, mice, and rats were successfully infected with the early third-stage larvae ...

Effects of Albendazole on Gnathostoma spinigerum in Mice

The Journal of Parasitology, 1992
Mice were infected with 5 advanced third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum and, beginning on the 28th day postinfection, were treated orally with albendazole. In the first experiment, infected mice each received albendazole once a day (30, 60, or 90 mg/kg/day) for 21 consecutive days. In the second experiment, they received albendazole twice a day

Gnathostomiasis possibly caused by Gnathostoma malaysiae.

The Tokai journal of experimental and clinical medicine, 2001
Gnathostomiasis is rarely reported in travelers, although the disease remains a major public health problem in Southeast Asia. A creeping eruption and Quincke's edema (slowly migrating erythema with pruritus) appeared in two Japanese men who had eaten raw freshwater shrimp in Myanmar. A Gnathostoma larva was found in subcutaneous tissue from one of the
