A survey of the intestinal transcriptomes of the hookworms, Necator americanus and Ancylostoma caninum, using tissues isolated by laser microdissection microscopy

, 2006
The gastrointestinal tracts of multi-cellular blood-feeding parasites are targets for vaccines and drugs. Recently, recombinant vaccines that interrupt the digestion of blood in the hookworm gut have shown efficacy, so we explored the intestinal ...

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

Acquired resistance to the human hookworm Necator americanus in mice [PDF]

Parasite Immunology, 1988
Summary BALB/c mice were exposed to primary or secondary infection with the hamster‐adapted strain of Necator americanus, and the course of infection was monitored through worm recovery and immunological assays. Significantly fewer viable larvae were recovered from the skin site of reinfected mice on day 2 post‐infection, and fewer larvae resided in ...

Soil‐Transmitted Helminthes (STHs) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Amongst Preschool Children in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose major public health challenges, especially in regions with poor healthcare access, inadequate sanitation, and limited clean water supply. When these two conditions recur, they can cause stunted growth in children between 24 and 59 months of age, a vital phase for physical ...

Exploring the Anthelmintic, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic Potential of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida Extract Combinations: In Vitro Studies on Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Soil‐transmitted helminth infection is endemic in Chad and constitutes a public health problem, particularly among school‐age children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the synergistic anthelmintic activity of the combined extracts of Khaya grandifoliola and Faidherbia albida used in Chad by traditional practitioners for the treatment ...

The identification of a species-specific antigen from Necator americanus.

, 1990
A 17 kD protein of Necator americanus was isolated by SDS-PAGE and used to raise monospecific antisera in rabbits. ELISA and Western blotting against a range of parasite extracts demonstrated the species specificity of this protein.
