Contamination of the hair of owned dogs with the eggs of Toxocara spp
(2010)Toxocara canis is one of the most common gastrointestinal helminthes of dogs. Humans can become infected through ingestion of infective eggs, Infection often causes few symptoms but in rare cases blindness can occur. It ... -
The influence of mouse strain, infective dose and larval burden in the brain on activity in Toxocara-infected mice
(2001)Outbred LACA mice and inbred NIH mice were administered low (100 ova), medium (1000 ova), high (3000 ova) and trickle (4x250 ova) doses of Toxocara canis ova and the effect of infection on activity was examined with respect ... -
The relationship between three intensity levels of Toxocara canis larvae in the brain and effects on exploration, anxiety, learning and memory in the murine host
(2001)Outbred LACA mice were administered low (100 ova), medium (1000 ova), high (3000 ova) and trickle (4?250 ova) doses of Toxocara canis ova and the effect of infection was examined with respect to the number of larvae recovered ... -
The significance of cerebral toxocariasis: a model system for exploring the link between brain involvement, behaviour and the immune response
(2013)Toxocara canis is a parasitic nematode that infects canines worldwide, and as a consequence of the widespread environmental dissemination of its ova in host faeces, other abnormal hosts including mice and humans are exposed ... -
Toxocara in the mouse : A model for parasite-altered host behaviour ?
(2001)The objective of this paper is to critically evaluate the significance of parasite-altered host behaviour in the Toxocara mouse model particularly in the light of the Manipulation Hypothesis. Murine behaviours were examined ...
