In a murine model for neurocysticercosis (NCC), intracranial inoculation of the helminth parasite Mesocestoides corti induces multiple Toll-like receptors (TLRs), among which TLR2 is upregulated first and to a relatively high extent. Here, we report that TLR2(-/-) mice displayed significantly increased susceptibility to parasite infection accompanied by increased numbers of parasites in the bra...

Condition factor is a measure of energetics, nutritional status and viability host. Changes in the host condition have effect on rate infection. 100 fishes Sarotherodon melanotheron 90 Parachanna obscura from Lekki lagoon were procured dissected for intestinal helminth parasites. factors all individuals determined. Median (K < 1.32 K > 1.32) 4.09 4.09) used grouping individuals. Male fema...

In this study, 75 chub mackerels that were caught in the Canakkale Strait Türkiye between October to December, 2019, examined for presence of parasites. The length and weight all fish measured external body area, oral cavity, nostrils, fins, gills examined. Gill samples under a stereomicroscope suspicious findings preserved 99.99% ethanol. mean 24.84±0.39cm 146.01±7.16 gr, respectively. It was ...

BACKGROUND Thirteen red deer (Cervus elaphus), culled from the isolated population at the Mongstad Oil Refinery, Norway, were investigated for gastrointestinal helminths. These animals, enclosed by the refinery fence, do not have contact with other ruminants and have a high population density considering the available browsing area (1 km(2)) within the refinery site (3 km(2)). The population wa...

The parasite fauna of rodents was studied in the Wrocław area from 2001 to 2005. The first location was irrigation fields (Wrocław Osobowice), the second--a water distribution area (Wrocław Mokry Dwór). Helminthological material was collected during parasitological examination of 447 specimens of wildlife rodents (belonging to 7 species of Muridae). The helminth population and the helminth comm...
