Reverse vaccinology for hookworms: a rational selection of vaccinable antigens against parasitic nematodes

Parasite
Reverse vaccinology is a time- and cost-effective approach to identify potential vaccinable antigens for further in vivo experimental validation. Despite its wide application to multiple organisms, the use of in silico vaccine development tools to ...

Comparison of four DNA extraction and three preservation protocols for the molecular detection and quantification of soil-transmitted helminths in stool.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:A DNA extraction and preservation protocol that yields sufficient and qualitative DNA is pivotal for the success of any nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), but it still poses a challenge for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), including ...

Not your typical hookworm infection—a case report from the Peruvian Amazon and review of the literature

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease
Human hookworm infection is caused by the nematodes Necator americanus , Ancylostoma duodenale , and Ancylostoma ceylanicum . Iron deficiency anemia is the hallmark of chronic, moderate-to-heavy-intensity infections, promoting a vicious poverty cycle ...

Modelling the ecological niche of hookworm in Brazil based on climate

Geospatial Health, 2012
The distribution of hookworm in schistosomiasis-endemic areas in Brazil was mapped based on climate suitability. Known biological requirements of hookworm were fitted to data in a monthly long-term normal climate grid (18 x 18 km) using geographical ...

Resistance to benzimidazole in South India: Polymorphic variants in the β-tubulin gene of Ascaris lumbricoides and Necator americanus

One Health Bulletin
Objective: Benzimidazole resistance in helminths is linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at codons 167, 198, and 200. We studied the prevalence of these SNPs in the β-tubulin gene of Ascaris (A.) lumbricoides and Necator (N.) americanus so as

Morphological identification of hookworm species in five regions of Cameroon

Helminthologia
Infections with hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) remain a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. However, the information about the distribution of each species is inaccurate in many countries since their
