Humoral immune response of pigs infected with Toxocara cati

Experimental Parasitology, 2020
Toxocara cati is one of the causative agents of human toxocariasis. Serological methods are used for diagnosis in paratenic hosts like humans but the humoral immune response triggered by this parasite is unknown. We characterized the humoral immune response to T.

Toxocara cati: an underestimated zoonotic agent

Trends in Parasitology, 2003
The role of Toxocara cati as a zoonosis is reviewed. It is suggested that, despite case histories of human infection in the literature, historical factors have led to T. cati being under-recognized as a zoonosis, particularly when compared with the prominence given to Toxocara canis in dogs.

The anatomy of the third-stage larva of Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati

2020
This review describes the morphology and ultrastructure of the third-stage larva of Toxocara canis, the larval stage that hatches from the egg and persists in the tissues of various paratenic hosts including infected humans. This larva remains unchanged as it passes from host to host and lives for extended periods in this same body form until it makes ...

Biochemical polymorphism in Parascaris equorum, Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1986
Vertical starch gel electrophoresis was used to resolve proteins encoded by 18 gene loci in ascaridoid nematodes. Estimates of genetic variability were made from population samples of the dog ascarid (Toxocara canis), cat ascarid (Toxocara cati), and the horse ascarid (Parascaris equorum). Levels of polymorphism and mean heterozygosity were high, which

The prevalence of Toxocara cati in domestic cats in Mexico City

Veterinary Parasitology, 2003
The faeces of 520 domestic cats, resident in the 16 municipal authorities of Mexico City, were analysed using the method of centrifuging with zinc sulphate (at 33%). Three hundred and ninety-nine animals lived in houses, 121 in apartments. For the purpose of this study they were divided into seven age groups, of 6 months each.

Proteomic analysis of soluble protein extract of adult Toxocara cati

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2020
Toxocara cati is a cat roundworm and the causative agent of toxocariasis as a cosmopolitan zoonotic disease. As no information has been reported so far, identification of T. cati proteins can be useful for the development of new diagnostic strategies. This study was conducted to identify the major proteins in the adult T.

Toxocara catiinfections in stray cats in northern Iran

Journal of Helminthology, 2007
AbstractA cross-sectional survey was undertaken to study the prevalence and intensity of infection withToxocara catiin 100 stray cats, from April to October 2004 in urban areas of Sari, northern Iran. A total of 44 cats (44%) were found to be infected withT. cati.

Vertical transmission of Toxocara cati Schrank 1788 (Anisakidae) in the cat

Parasitology Research, 2004
In eight cats and their offspring the mode of transmission of Toxocara cati following natural and experimental infection was investigated in three experiments. In experiments 1 and 2 the kittens of four cats with a chronic natural infection and of four cats with an acute experimental infection, respectively, were examined. In experiment 3 two queens of

Visceral larval migrans of Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati in non-canid and non-felid hosts

2020
Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati are considered the most ubiquitous gastrointestinal helminths in domesticated canids and felids. Ascarid eggs passed in the faeces of canids and felids in a suitable environment may remain infective for years and are capable of infecting not only canids and felids, but a large range of other vertebrate paratenic hosts ...
