IL‐4/IL‐13‐producing ILC2s are required for timely control of intestinal helminth infection in mice

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 52, Issue 12, Page 1925-1933, December 2022., 2022
ILC2‐derived IL‐4/IL‐13 plays a non‐redundant role for eosinophil recruitment to the lung and expulsion of N. brasiliensis worm parasites from the intestine. Abstract Infection of mice with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) serves as a model for human hookworm infection affecting about 600 million people world‐wide.

Review of helminths from rare aquatic birds in Ukraine

Zoodiversity, 2020
Helminth fauna of aquatic bird has well studied on the territory of Ukraine. The data on the helminths of rare waterfowl are contained in numerous faunistic works. But there are no publications in which only helminths of rare aquatic birds are considered.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

WormWatch: Park soil surveillance reveals extensive Toxocara contamination across the UK and Ireland

Veterinary Record, Volume 192, Issue 1, 7/14 January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Toxocarosis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease, but sources of infection are not well documented over large geographical scales. To determine levels of environmental contamination, soil from 142 parks and recreational areas across the UK and Ireland was assessed for the presence of Toxocara.

Asymptomatic Malaria and Helminths Coinfection and Its Association with Anemia among Primary School Children in Gedeo Zone, Southern Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2021
Background. Asymptomatic malaria and helminths coinfection occurs mainly in the tropics and subtropics where poverty and sanitary practice favor its high prevalence. In the tropics, where malaria is endemic, helminths also thrive resulting in coinfection.

Editorial: Helminth biodiversity

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
The aim of this Research Topic is to broaden and deepen the knowledge about helminths in wildlife or domestic hosts around the world focusing on the contribution to the taxonomic groups, ecology, phylogenetic, and biology. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach is given and can be used as a guide for scientific information.

Copromicroscopic study of gastrointestinal parasites in captive mammals at Central Zoo, Lalitpur, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 457-464, January 2023., 2023
Despite careful management practices, the parasitic infection may be attributed to the narrow enclosure, group housing and environmental contamination. The present finding provides baseline information on the parasitic infection in captive mammals and can be used by zoo managers for the better life of captive animals.

Helminths and COVID-19 Co-Infections: A Neglected Critical Challenge.

ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science, 2020
Helminth infections are among the most common infectious diseases in underdeveloped countries. Helminths suppress the host immune responses and consequently mitigate vaccine efficacy and increase severity of other infectious diseases.
