Dynamics of the bacterial gut microbiota during controlled human infection with Necator americanus larvae. [PDF]

Gut Microbes, 2020
Hookworms are soil-transmitted helminths that use immune-evasive strategies to persist in the human duodenum where they are responsible for anemia and protein loss. Given their location and immune regulatory effects, hookworms likely impact the bacterial

Altering the intracellular trafficking of Necator americanus GST-1 antigen yields novel hookworm mRNA vaccine candidates. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Background The antigen Na-GST-1, expressed by the hookworm Necator americanus, plays crucial biochemical roles in parasite survival. This study explores the development of mRNA vaccine candidates based on Na-GST-1, building on the success of recombinant ...

Ancylostoma duodenale e Necator americanus: diagnóstico diferencial das larvas infestantes e prevalência em amostras fecais provenientes da Grande São Paulo

REVISTA DO INSTITUTO ADOLFO LUTZ, 2022
A falta de quaisquer dados sobre a prevalência do Ancylostoma duodenale e do Necator americanus entre habitantes da Grande São Paulo foi que motivou a pesquisa que abrangeu 300 amostras fecais. Foi utilizado o método de cultura de larvas de Harada e Mori

Combined morphological and molecular approaches to the clinical diagnosis of Necator americanus infection: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Hookworm infection remains of considerable importance to public health. However, because critical cases caused by hookworm infection are rarely observed in China, accurate and prompt diagnoses are difficult to achieve in clinical practice.

An environmental assessment and risk map of Ascaris lumbricoides and Necator americanus distributions in Manufahi District, Timor-Leste. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2017
Background In Timor-Leste there have been intermittent and ineffective soil-transmitted helminth (STH) deworming programs since 2004. In a resource-constrained setting, having information on the geographic distribution of STH can aid in prioritising high
