Effects of the repeated distribution of sainfoin hay on the resistance and the resilience of goats naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes [PDF]
Due to the high prevalence of anthelmintic resistance in goats, the need to explore novel approaches to control nematodes and to reduce the exclusive reliance on chemotherapy is strongly demanded in this host species.

Rat Lungworm Infection in Rodents across Post-Katrina New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis), a parasitic nematode that can cause eosinophilic meningitis in humans, was first detected in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in the mid-1980s and now appears to be widespread in the southeastern United States.

Immunological responses elicited by different infection regimes with Strongyloides ratti. [PDF]
Nematode infections are a ubiquitous feature of vertebrate life. In nature, such nematode infections are acquired by continued exposure to infective stages over a prolonged period of time.

Immunological relationships during primary infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Nematospiroides dubius): downregulation of specific cytokine secretion (IL-9 and IL-10) correlates with poor mastocytosis and chronic survival of adult worms [PDF]
Mice were infected either with Trichinella spiralis (day 0), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (day -14) or concurrently with both species and were killed in groups, together with naive control mice, on 2 occasions (day 8 and 15 post infection with T.

The host immune response to gastrointestinal nematode infection in sheep [PDF]
non peer reviewedGastrointestinal nematode infection represents a major threat to the health, welfare and productivity of sheep populations worldwide. Infected lambs have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in

Mucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection. [PDF]
In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2 years).

Host reaction in paratenic fish hosts against 3rd stage larvae of Anguillicola crassus [PDF]
Many fish species of Lake Balaton (Hungary) serve as paratenic hosts for the 3rd stage larvae of the eel parasite Anguillicola crassus. The incidence oi different phases of the host reaction varies with paratenic fish host but its nature is basically the

Effects of condensed tannins on goats experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus. [PDF]
Although the use of tanniferous plants or condensed tannins as an alternative to anthelmintics to control gastrointestinal nematodes has been largely documented in sheep, studies remain scarce in goats.

The use of systemic immune inflammatory index as a predictor for nematodes infections in horses
Background: Nematode infections are a significant health concern in horses, causing a range of clinical signs and economic losses. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and management.

Exploring the immunology of parasitism--from surface antigens to the hygiene hypothesis [PDF]
Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years, transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also conceptually as our definition of host immune pathways has matured.
