Wasting Condition under Normal Cardiac Rhythms in Rabbits following Strongyloides papillosus Infection.

Sudden Death in Calves Infected with Strongyloides papillosus

Parasitological examination was conducted in 10 cases of sudden death which occurred in calves raised in the southern part of Japan where sawdust litter confinement pens were used. Extensive infection of the small intestine with Strongyloides papillosus (SPL) was observed in every necropsied case. Inspection of the pens where the fatal cases were detected revealed the presence of a number of in...

Pathological and Histochemical Alterations in the Small Intestine of Sheep in the Course of Experimental Infection with Strongyloides Papillosus

It was demonstrated that partogenetic Strongyloides papillosus females living in the small intestine of sheep infected with L3 S. papillosus larvae caused the necrosis of the mucosa and, in some cases, destruction of the intestinal villi. Furthermore, the enzymatic activity of the epithelial cells of the small intestine was strongly correlated with the morphological picture of the intestine. As...

Pulmonary Strongyloides stercoralis infection

The 17-year-old male patient presented with fever, weakness, dyspnea and weight loss. His chest radiography demonstrated diffuse reticulonodular density, and high-resolution lung tomography indicated diffuse micronodules and prevalent ground-glass pattern. The findings were consistent with miliary involvement. The patient underwent examinations for rheumatology, immunology, cytology and infecti...

Strongyloides ratti and S. venezuelensis – rodent models of Strongyloides infection

Strongyloides spp. are common parasites of vertebrates and two species, S. ratti and S. venezuelensis, parasitize rats; there are no known species that naturally infect mice. Strongyloides ratti and S. venezuelensis overlap in their geographical range and in these regions co-infections appear to be common. These species have been widely used as tractable laboratory systems in rats as well as mi...
