Immunity to helminths: resistance, regulation, and susceptibility to gastrointestinal nematodes.
Annual Review of Immunology, 2015Helminth parasites are a highly successful group of pathogens that challenge the immune system in a manner distinct from rapidly replicating infectious agents. Of this group, roundworms (nematodes) that dwell in the intestines of humans and other animals

Neuropeptide Physiology in Helminths
2010Parasitic worms come from two distinct, distant phyla, Nematoda (roundworms) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms). The nervous systems of worms from both phyla are replete with neuropeptides and there is ample physiological evidence that these neuropeptides control vital aspects of worm biology.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses development of vaccines against helminth parasites. Progress toward the development of vaccines against helminth parasites has been disappointing. In some respects, this is surprising as the first commercial vaccine against a helminth infection, parasitic bronchitis of cattle, was introduced nearly 30 years ago,

Helminths: Comparison of their rhodoquinone
Experimental Parasitology, 1973Abstract A rhodoquinone (RQ) has been isolated from Stephanurus dentatus and has been shown to be identical with RQ-9 from Ascaris lumbricoides var. suis (A. suum) . The ratio of RQ/mg N is fairly constant among larval, juvenile, and adult forms of S. dentatus with an average value of 1.63 μg/mg N. A Chromatographie survey found RQ in all eleven

In the last 50 years, environmental factors such as helminth infections have been proposed to explain why autoimmunity is less prevalent in the developing world; this proposal has been termed the hygiene or old friends hypothesis. The epidemiology of MS shows an inverse correlation with helminth infections.

This chapter educates laboratorians, biosafety personnel, and health care workers about the potential hazards of working in settings in which exposures to viable parasites could occur. It provides information about parasites that have caused or could cause accidental infections in laboratorians and health care workers.

Helminths are medically and economically important parasites of many higher and lower animals. Several hundred million people, especially in countries of the third world, suffer from diseases caused by these parasites. Only a few representatives of the helminths will be mentioned here: the blood flukes, Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, and S,
