Parasites and Parasitic Diseases of Reptiles
2020Acknowledgments 597References 597Free-ranging reptiles are infected and infested with a great diversity of endo-and ectoparasites. Considering the number of papers published, relatively few reports link parasite burdens with morbidity or mortality events in wild reptiles.

PROTEASES IN PARASITIC DISEASES
Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2006Parasitic diseases represent major global health problems of immense proportion. Schistosomiasis, malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and African sleeping sickness affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, cause millions of deaths annually, and present an immense social and economic burden.

Arginases in parasitic diseases
Trends in Parasitology, 2003Abstract Parasites have elaborated a variety of strategies for invading hosts and escaping immune responses. This article proposes that a common mechanism whereby different parasites escape nitric oxide (NO) toxicity is the activation of arginase. This leads to a depletion of l-arginine (substrate of NO synthase, resulting in lower levels of cytotoxic

In the first section of this chapter, we survey and briefly describe the parasites important to humans and the diseases they engender. In Section 11.2, we detail the life cycle of the parasites responsible for malaria. While there are four species of mosquitoes involved, the biggest threat is from P. falciparum.

The evolution of parasitic diseases
Parasitology Today, 1996Parasites are characterized by their fitness-reducing effect on their hosts. Studying the evolution of parasitic diseases is an attempt to understand these negative effects as an adaptation of the parasite, the host, both or neither. Dieter Ebert and E. Allen Herre here discuss how the underlying concepts are general and are applicable for all types of

Vaccines for Parasitic Diseases
Current Drug Target -Infectious Disorders, 2001Significant effort and progress has occurred over the last several years in the development of vaccines against three main tropical parasitic diseases (malaria, leishmaniases and schistosomiasis). However, an effective vaccine is not yet available.
