Investigation of the Occurrence of Zoonotic Intestinal Parasites along the Karmanasa River Bank in Lalitpur, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Summary • Twenty‐one intestinal zoonotic parasites out of 28 were detected. • Parasitic burden measured by eggs per gram (EPG) was heavy on the river bank. • Cross‐transmission of intestinal parasites among co‐habiting animals may occur. ABSTRACT Introduction Increasing urbanization has particularly affected rivers and their outer edges in cities ...

Ribonucleases of Mice and Men: Unveiling the Roles of the RNase A Superfamily in Host Defence

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) constitute ancient host defence mechanisms to preserve tissue sterility and protect the host from infectious diseases. Currently, AMPs are awakening the interest of medical researchers due to their potential to become novel weapons to target multi‐drug resistant (MDR) pathogens and thereby overcome the ...

Immunity to Trichuris muris in the laboratory mouse

, 2003
Of all the laboratory models of intestinal nematode infection, Trichuris muris in the mouse is arguably the most powerful. This is largely due to the fact that the ability to expel this parasite is strain dependent. Thus, most mouse strains readily expel

T. Muris Infection Dynamics of a Fresh, Wild Isolate: Is the Established E Isolate Still Relevant?

Parasite Immunology, Volume 46, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT For decades, parasitic worms such as Trichuris muris have been maintained in laboratory animals, providing insights into host–parasite interactions and host immune responses. The most used T. muris isolate is the E isolate, established in the laboratory in 1954.

Chronic Trichuris muris Infection Decreases Diversity of the Intestinal Microbiota and Concomitantly Increases the Abundance of Lactobacilli.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The intestinal microbiota is vital for shaping the local intestinal environment as well as host immunity and metabolism. At the same time, epidemiological and experimental evidence suggest an important role for parasitic worm infections in maintaining ...

The Trichuris muris system: A paradigm of resistance and susceptibility to intestinal nematode infection

, 2004
Gastrointestinal helminths infect over 1 billion people worldwide. Although rarely causing death, such diseases are associated with high levels of morbidity and furthermore bear a large economic burden within areas where infections are endemic. Trichuris

New host, geographical records, and factors affecting the prevalence of helminths infection from synanthropic rodents in Yucatán, Mexico

Helminthologia, 2017
The aim of this paper was to study the occurrence of helminths in Mus musculus and Rattus rattus from urban, suburban and rural settlements in Yucatán, Mexico; and to analyse the host factors (e.g. sex) related to helminths’ distribution.

Transcriptional responses of mouse proximal colon and colonoids during early whipworm infection

mBio
Trichuriasis, caused by the parasitic nematode Trichuris trichiura, affects 429–508 million people worldwide. Although the early phase of whipworm infection is crucial for establishing infection, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
