Eicosanoids in parasites and parasitic infections
2000Eicosanoids are lipid mediators with multiple functions in vertebrate tissues and invertebrate organisms. In this review the roles of eicosanoids--mostly prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes and leukotrienes--in parasite physiology and host-parasite interactions are discussed. PGs are present in the saliva of blood-sucking arthropods facilitating feeding

Parasitic Infections of the Lung
Diseases of the Chest, 1948Although diseases of the respiratory tract due to infection by protozoan and metazoan parasites are not common in the conventional practice of medicine they have been encountered with sufficient frequency to merit consideration. It is probable that such conditions will be recognized more frequently in the future since several million men and women have

Parasitology Today, 1989
'Illnesses no one's got' was the epidemiological clue that led to the identification of AIDS as a new disease in 1981 when a rare infectious organism Pneumocystis carinii was seen in previously healthy homosexuals. Since then a wide range of parasite infections has been recognized in AIDS patients.

Parasitic infections are felt by most individuals to have little impact on the health and well being of most inhabitants of Canada, Western Europe, and the United States. As the authors show in this article, parasites are always "emerging" somewhere and have a significant impact on those areas of the world.
