Macrophage-derived human resistin is induced in multiple helminth infections and promotes inflammatory monocytes and increased parasite burden. [PDF]
Parasitic helminth infections can be associated with lifelong morbidity such as immune-mediated organ failure. A better understanding of the host immune response to helminths could provide new avenues to promote parasite clearance and/or alleviate ...

Pathogenicity of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on potato [PDF]
Host–parasite relationships and pathogenicity of Meloidogyne javanica on potatoes (newly recorded from Malta) were studied under glasshouse and natural conditions. Potato cvs Cara and Spunta showed a typical susceptible reaction to M. javanica under

Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of intestinal tissue to assess the impact of nutrition and a secondary nematode challenge in lactating rats [PDF]
Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a major challenge to the health and welfare of mammals. Although mammals eventually acquire immunity to nematodes, this breaks down around parturition, which renders periparturient mammals susceptible to re ...

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.

FAUNA OF GASTROINTESTINAL STRONGYLATES OF SHEEP AND GOATS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE CHECHEN REPUBLIC
. Aim. Livestock is one of the main sources of protein human nutrition. Helminthiases infections are one of the limiting factors in animal husbandry. The most prevalent helminths of sheep and goats OF gastrointestinal tract are Strongylatoses. Studies on

Signal sequence analysis of expressed sequence tags from the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and the evolution of secreted proteins in parasites [PDF]
Parasitism is a highly successful mode of life and one that requires suites of gene adaptations to permit survival within a potentially hostile host.

Background. The burden of nematode infections is high mostly in children below 5 years old, with clinical manifestations ranging from mild to painful symptoms due to severe infections that end up suppressing the immune system of the infected children ...

Phenotypic analysis of host-parasite interactions in lambs infected with Teladorsagia circumcincta [PDF]
Female Blackface lambs expected to exhibit genetic variability for resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes, were either exposed to continuous experimental infections of Teladorsagia circumcincta or were sham-dosed to monitor phenotypic responses to ...
