Preliminary study on the prevalence of endoparasite infections and vector-borne diseases in outdoor dogs in Bulgaria

Helminthologia, 2020
The present work was designed to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites and some vector-borne pathogens in dogs in Bulgaria. A total of 172 owned dogs, keeping outside, were included in the study. Fecal samples were examined using standard

Evolution of Ivermectin Resistance in the Nematode Model Caenorhabditis elegans: Critical Influence of Population Size and Altered Emodepside Efficacy

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence and spread of anthelmintic resistance represent a major challenge for treating parasitic nematodes, threatening mass‐drug administration control programs in humans and zoonotic hosts. Currently, experimental evidence to understand the influence of management (e.g., treatment dose and frequency) and parasite‐associated factors (e ...

Endoscopically diagnosed hookworm infestation in an adult with chronic iron deficiency anaemia

South Sudan Medical Journal
Despite advances in hookworm control and prevention campaigns, the prevalence remains high in sub-Saharan Africa. Iron deficiency anaemia is a major complication in those with prolonged infection, a high hookworm burden, and undernutrition, though most ...

Of dogs and hookworms: man’s best friend and his parasites as a model for translational biomedical research [PDF]

, 2018
We present evidence that the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum) is underutilised in the study of host-parasite interactions, particularly as a proxy for the human-hookworm relationship.

Anthroponotic and Zoonotic Hookworm DNA in an Indigenous Community in Coastal Ecuador: Potential Cross-Transmission between Dogs and Humans

Pathogens
Humans can be infected with anthroponotic (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus) and with zoonotic (Ancylostoma ceylanicum, A. caninum, A. braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala) hookworms from dogs. Anthroponotic species are usually thought not

Characterization and localization of cathepsin B proteinases expressed by adult Ancylostoma caninum hookworms

, 1995
The hookworm Ancylostoma caninum induces human eosinophilic enteritis (EE), probably via allergic responses to its secretions. Cysteine and metallo-proteinases may be the components of these secretions that elicit hypersensitivity reactions.

Molecular systematics of pinniped hookworms (Nematoda: Uncinaria): species delimitation, host associations and host-induced morphometric variation

, 2013
Hookworms of the genus Uncinaria have been widely reported from juvenile pinnipeds, however investigations of their systematics has been limited, with only two species described, Uncinaria lucasi from northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) and ...
