Objective: Soil-transmitted helminth infections (STHI) coexist with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and they are widespread in environments where poverty is endemic. Helminths upregulate immunological stimulation while HIV’s effect down-regulatory, depicted by the increased incidence of hypersensitivity drug reactions advanced HIV/AIDS. Hypobiosis (a state dormancy host capability...

North American raccoons (Procyon lotor) have been introduced to several European countries, where they may represent a sanitary threat as hosts of pathogens such the zoonotic ascarid Baylisascaris procyonis. We carried out parasitological analysis on Italy verify whether species had along B. procyonis or any other gastro-intestinal helminths that threaten humans, livestock native wildlife. exam...

One hundred and sixty-four faecal samples, 148 adhesive tape swabs and 132 blood samples were collected from dogs in Boksburg, Gauteng, to assess the prevalence of helminth parasites in the area. Sixty-nine of these dogs were also necropsied and helminths recovered from the gastro-intestinal tracts. Ancylostoma caninum was the most common helminth and was present in 88% of the dogs, followed by...

Gastrointestinal helminths can have a detrimental effect on the fitness of wild ungulates. Arctic and Subarctic ecosystems are ideal for the study of host-parasite interactions due to the comparatively simple ecological interactions and limited confounding factors. We used a unique dataset assembled in the early seventies to study the diversity of gastrointestinal helminths and their effect on ...

The authors present a review of records of intestinal parasitic helminths from animals in human archaeological remains, reported since the emergence of paleopathological studies. The objective was to relate paleoparasitological findings to geographic, biotic, and abiotic factors from the environment in which the prehistoric populations lived, and understand some aspects related to the process o...
