The stomal morphology of parasitic females of Strongyloides spp. by scanning electron microscopy

Parasitology Research, 2007
For the discrimination of the species of the genus Strongyloides, the shape of the stoma in the apical view of parasitic females is the most important feature. Microscopical interpretations divided the shape of the stoma into four groups (simple, angular, complex, and simple but with esophageal teeth); however, the stomas classified in the latter two ...

Current progress toward vaccine and passive immunization approaches for Strongyloides spp.

Immunology Letters, 2016
Strongyloides stercoralis is a helminth parasite that can infect millions of people worldwide, particularly in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions with poor sanitation. Several aspects of epidemiology, biology and host-parasite interactions of S.

Strongyloides spp.: Demonstration and partial characterization of acidic collagenolytic activity from infective larvae

Experimental Parasitology, 1987
Infective larvae of Strongyloides spp. have been shown to contain azocollytic enzymes which may aid in host skin penetration. Attempts to demonstrate classical, neutral pH-active collagenase activity in Strongyloides ratti were unsuccessful. In the current study, we investigated the presence of acidic collagenolytic activity in the infective larvae of ...

Hyper-variable regions in 18S rDNA of Strongyloides spp. as markers for species-specific diagnosis

Parasitology Research, 2008
Four hyper-variable regions (HVR-I to -IV) found in 18S ribosomal DNA sequences were compared among 34 isolates of 15 species of the genus Strongyloides to evaluate their diagnostic value. HVR-I to -III were short, and plural species exhibit the same nucleotide arrangement.

A Pilot Study for the Characterization of Bacillus spp. and Analysis of Possible B. thuringiensis/Strongyloides stercoralis Correlation

Microorganisms
Differentiating between Bacillus species is relevant in human medicine. Bacillus thuringiensis toxins might be effective against Strongyloides stercoralis, a nematode causing relevant human morbidity. Our first objective was to evaluate genomic and MALDI-TOF identification methods for B. thuringiensis. Our secondary objective was to evaluate a possible

Application of real-time PCR for the detection of Strongyloides spp. in clinical samples in a reference center in Spain

Acta Tropica, 2015
Strongyloidiasis is one of the major intestinal helminthic infections in humans with a worldwide distribution, affecting especially tropical and subtropical regions. This disease can occur without any symptoms or as a potentially fatal hyperinfection or disseminated infection. Definitive diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis infection relies mainly on

Molecular identification of the causative agent of human strongyloidiasis acquired in Tanzania: Dispersal and diversity of Strongyloides spp. and their hosts

Parasitology International, 2010
In order to identify the causative agent of imported strongyloidiasis found in a Japanese mammalogist, who participated in a field survey in Tanzania, the hyper-variable region IV (HVR-IV) of 18S ribosomal DNA and partial mitochondrial cytochrome c-oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) were analyzed and compared with Strongyloides fuelleborni collected from ...

Advancing Strongyloides omics data: bridging the gap with Caenorhabditis elegans

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Among nematodes, the free-living model organism Caenorhabditis elegans boasts the most advanced portfolio of high-quality omics data. The resources available for parasitic nematodes, including Strongyloides spp., however, are lagging behind.

Ecological Implications for Flying Squirrels (Glaucomys spp.) of Effects of Temperature on the In Vitro Development and Behavior of Strongyloides robustus

American Midland Naturalist, 1994
-The effects of temperature on in vitro egg-hatching success, juvenile survival, development and behavior of Strongyloides robustus were examined. As culture temperatures declined (25-10 C), both egg hatching and rate of larval development decreased. Hatching occurred as low as 10 C.
