BACKGROUND The present study deals with the effect of helminthic infection as Nematode parasite like Aspiculuris tetraptera on the haematological parameters of infected and vaccinated mice. METHODS Totally 15 mice were used. Five mice were used for positive control, 5 mice used for negative control and 5 mice used for experiment. The hematological parameters were studied viz. RBC, Hb, and ser...

Data on the frequency, distribution and mean intensity of the helminth fauna recovered from outbred and inbred mice conventionally maintained in Brazilian animal houses, are reported. The oxyurid nematodes Syphacia obvelata and Aspiculuris tetraptera presented overall frequencies of 91.5% and 8.5%, respectively. The frequency of S. obvelata in animals of three groups out of the four investigate...

background: the present study deals with the effect of helminthic infection as nematode parasite like aspiculuris tetraptera on the haematological parameters of infected and vaccinated mice. methods: totally 15 mice were used. five mice were used for positive control, 5 mice used for nega­tive control and 5 mice used for experiment. the hematological parameters were studied viz. rbc, hb, and se...

Worm burdens recovered from inbred mice strains, namely C57Bl/6, C57Bl/10, CBA, BALB/c, DBA/2 and C3H/He, conventionally maintained in two institutional animal houses in the State of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, were analyzed and compared, regarding their prevalences and mean intensities. Three parasite species were observed: the nematodes Aspiculuris tetraptera, Syphacia obvelata and the cestod...

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: MediDrop FBZ is formulated to be a stable solution that contains uniform concentrations of fenbendazole (150 ppm). As mice drink their daily requirement of water, they will receive therapeutic doses of FBZ. MediDrop FBZ was provided free choice via water bottles for either 4 or 8 weeks to mice naturally-infected with pinworms (Syphacia obvelata and Aspiculuris tetraptera). ...

BACKGROUND In order to verify the infectivity of rodents with endoparasites in Germi (Dashte-Mogan, Ardabil Province) the current study was undertaken. METHODS Using live traps, 177 rodents were trapped during 2005-2007. In field laboratory, all rodents were bled prior to autopsy, frozen at -20°C, and shipped to the School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. In para...

BEHNKE J. M. 1975. Immune expulsion of the nematode Aspiculuris fetraptera from mice given primary and challenge infections. International Journal for Parasitology 5: 511-515. The distribution of larval Aspiculuris tetraptera was studied in 4-week-old male and female CFLP mice. Whereas on days lo-12 the larvae were entirely confined to the anterior third of the colon, by day 14 larvae could be ...

Antigenic stimulation of athymic mice on the BALB/c background by infection with the pinworms Aspiculuris tetraptera and Syphacia obvelata or by xenografts of human tumors induced a proliferation of T- and B-lymphocytes in spleen and lymph nodes and occasional germinal center formation. The proliferating T-lymphocytes showed greater fluorescence per cell than the Thy 1-positive cells from unsti...
