ECENT ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE OF SOIL-TRANSMITTED HELMINTHS [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 1975
New observations in recent years have accented differences between the two common hookworms, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus, with respect to modes of transmision and pathogenicity, and have established Ancylostoma ceylanicum as a species ...

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 ...

The coverage and frequency of mass drug administration required to eliminate persistent transmission of soil-transmitted helminths [PDF]

, 2014
A combination of methods, including mathematical model construction, demographic plus epidemiological data analysis and parameter estimation, are used to examine whether mass drug administration (MDA) alone can eliminate the transmission of soil ...

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 ...
