Investigating the underlying mechanism of resistance to Ascaris infection
(2011)
The generative mechanism(s) of predisposition to Ascaris infection are currently unknown. While many factors play a role in interindividual infection intensity, much focus has been placed on the host's immunological response ...
Serum crosslaps: pediatric reference intervals from birth to 19 years of age
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2002)
During childhood growth, bone undergoes extensive modeling involving separate osteoblastic and osteoclastic processes. Markers of bone formation and resorption circulate at higher concentrations in children than in adults, ...
Reduced helminth parasitism in the introduced bank vole (Myodes glareolus): More parasites lost than gained.
(2016)
Introduced species are often less parasitised compared to their native counterparts and to ecologically similar hosts in the new environment. Reduced parasitism may come about due to both the loss of original parasites and ...
The role of Intelectin-2 in resistance to Ascaris suum lung larval burdens in susceptible and resistant mouse strains
(2011)
The underlying mechanism of predisposition to Ascaris infection is not yet understood but host genetics are thought to play a fundamental role. We investigated the association between the Intelectin-2 gene and resistance ...
Community study of toxoplasma antibodies in urban and rural schoolchildren aged 4 to 18 years.
(BMJ Publishing Group, 1997)
To estimate the prevalence of toxoplasma antibodies in schoolchildren and their association with clinical and environmental data, antibody titres were measured in 1276 children aged 4 to 18 years attending primary and ...
The development of a mouse model to explore resistance and susceptibility to early Ascaris suum infection
(2006)
Ascaris suum and Ascaris lumbricoides exhibit an over-dispersed frequency distribution in their host populations in both the adult and larval stages. The impact of host factors on this observed distribution is still poorly ...
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 influence of inoculum size and time post-infection on the number and position of Toxocara canis larvae recovered from the brains of outbred CD1 mice
(2001)
Outbred CD1 mice were administered doses of 1000 and 3000 Toxocara canis eggs and postmortem took place on days 7, 42 and 120 post-infection. Mice were killed by cervical dislocation and brains were sagitally bisected and ...
Ocular toxocariasis in school children
(2004)
Ocular toxocariasis in humans is typically a unilateral disease caused by second?stage larvae of the Toxocara species. Serological evidence of widespread infection in humans provides little information on clinical disease. ...
Genetic influence on the kinetics and associated pathology of the early stage (intestinal-hepatic) migration of Ascaris suum in mice
(2010)
The generative mechanism(s) of aggregation and predisposition to Ascaris lumbricoides and A. suum infections in their host population are currently unknown and difficult to elucidate in humans and pigs for ethical/logistical ...
