Seroprevalence of <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i> Infection and Its Risk Factors in Pregnant Women Referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Guilan Province, North Part of Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study From 2024 to 2025. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Background In immunocompromised individuals, strongyloidiasis may progress to hyperinfection syndrome or disseminated disease. To date, the death of a pregnant woman infected with Strongyloides stercoralis has been reported. Chronic cases carry a risk of malnutrition, especially among vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children.

An Overlooked Cause of Generalized Edema: A Case of <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i> Hyperinfection Syndrome. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Strongyloides stercoralis infections are rare causes of protein‐losing enteropathy and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with peripheral edema due to hypoproteinemia, especially in endemic countries. Stool routine examination in such individuals is a simple but essential way of identifying this organism.

Strongyloides Antigens Alter Cytokines Responses in Toxoplasma gondii-Infected BeWo Trophoblast Cells. [PDF]

Cell Biol Int
ABSTRACT The importance of co‐infections is not yet completely understood, and the impact and direction of their effects vary considerably. This study aimed to evaluate the role of total saline extract (TS) and excretory/secretory (ES) products of Strongyloides venezuelensis filarioid larvae on a maternal‐interface cell model during Toxoplasma gondii ...
