Viability and in vitro and in vivo activities of freeze-dried conidia of the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys robusta (I-31) were evaluated against infective larvae (L3) of Ancylostoma spp. in dogs. A. robusta conidia were lyophilized and stored at 4 °C for a month. Freeze-dried conidia were diluted to 1 × 103 conidia/ml and tested in vivo. The treated group consisted of a solution containing conidia (1 ml) and 1000 Ancylostoma spp. (L3) placed on Petri dishes plated with 2% water-agar (2% WA), at 25 °C, in the dark for 10 days. The control group consisted of 1000 Ancylostoma spp. L3, plated on 2% WA. After 10 days, Ancylostoma spp. L3 from both the treated and the control groups were recovered and counted. The in vivo test was performed on two dogs by administering a single oral dose of freeze-dried conidia (1.5 × 105) in aqueous solution to one animal and only water to the other. Fecal samples were collected at 12, 24 and 48 h after the treatments, plated 2% WA plates and incubated at 25 °C ...

Abstract Hookworms are enteric parasitic roundworms infecting an estimated 400 million persons worldwide. Herein, we provide the first molecular identifications of human hookworms from certain parts of rural Lower Myanmar. DNA was extracted from hookworm-positive stool samples, as determined by microscopy. DNA sequences of the partial internal transcribed spacer 1, full length 5.8S gene, and partial internal transcribed spacer 2 were determined and compared with available hookworm sequences from public databases. Of the 11 polymerase chain reaction-positive samples, eight (Bago Region, N = 4; Mon State, N = 4) yielded sequences with high similarity to those of Necator americanus. A further three sequences (Mon State, N = 2; Bago Region, N = 1) showed high similarity with those of Ancylostoma ceylanicum. The latter is primarily a parasite of dogs and represents a zoonosis. Given that different species of hookworms exhibit different epidemiological and biological characteristics, accurate identification

Computer illustration of the head of the parasitic hookworm Ancylostoma duodenale. This is one of the commonest causes of hookworm infestation in humans, particularly in sub-tropical regions such as North Africa and India. The worms head contains several tooth-like structures with which it clings to the bowel of its host. Hookworms also infect dogs and cats. Human infestation begins with larvae penetrating the skin, usually by burrowing into the feet of a person and entering the bloodstream. The larvae then migrate throughout the body, particularly the small intestine. - Stock Image F018/2182

We present evidence that the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum) is underutilised in the study of host-parasite interactions, particularly as a proxy for the human-hookworm relationship. The inability to passage hookworms through all life stages in vitro means that adult stage hookworms have to be harvested from the gut of their definitive hosts for ex vivo research. This makes study of the human-hookworm interface difficult for technical and ethical reasons. The historical association of humans, dogs and hookworms presents a unique triad of positive evolutionary pressure to drive the A. caninum-canine interaction to reflect that of the human-hookworm relationship. Here we discuss A. caninum as a proxy for human hookworm infection and situate this hookworm model within the current research agenda, including the various omics applications and the search for next generation biologics to treat a plethora of human diseases. Historically, the dog hookworm has been well described on a physiological and

Harsh conditions cause the nonparasitic Caenorhabditis elegans larvae to enter the developmentally arrested state of dauer, which requires a decrease in the steroid hormones Δ4-dafachronic acid (Δ4-DA) and Δ7-DA to release the nuclear hormone receptor DAF-12 from its ligand-bound state. Because dauer larvae share morphological similarities with infective larvae of parasitic nematodes, and because exit from dauer in C. elegans appears to use similar signaling mechanisms as activation of infectivity in the parasitic hookworm Ancylostoma caninum, Ogawa et al. reasoned that genes involved in inducing dauer might also be present in parasitic nematodes. They first examined whether Δ4-DA, Δ7-DA, and DAF-12 were involved in inducing dauer in Pristionchus pacificus, a nonparasitic distant relative of C. elegans. Unlike C. elegans, which only enters dauer under extreme conditions, P. pacificus must enter dauer as part of its life cycle and was considered by the authors to be an intermediate between ...

Hookworm infection contributes around 700 million infections worldwide especially in developing nations due to poor sanitation. The effective recovery of hookworm ova from wastewater matrices is difficult due to their low concentrations and heterogeneous distribution. In this study, we compared the recovery rates of (i) four rapid hookworm ova concentration methods from municipal wastewater, and (ii) two concentration methods from sludge samples. Ancylostoma caninum ova were used as surrogate for human hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus). Known concentration of A. caninum hookworm ova were seeded into wastewater (treated and raw) and sludge samples collected from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Brisbane and Perth, Australia. The A. caninum ova were concentrated from treated and raw wastewater samples using centrifugation (Method A), hollow fiber ultrafiltration (HFUF) (Method B), filtration (Method C) and flotation (Method D) methods.

Ascariasis: The infection is caused by Ascaris lumbricoides roundworms and is typically found in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Persons with light infections may not exhibit any symptoms. Those who develop symptoms start with a persistent cough, wheezing, shortness within 1 week of exposure as a result of larvae migrating to the lungs and throat. The second set of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody or worm in stools, fatigue, weight loss appear a few weeks (up to 2 or 3 months) later as the roundworms become adults and the females lay eggs which are shed through feces. The parasite can live in humans for up to 2 years. Children are particularly affected by this illness because they tend to play in and eat dirt. Treatment includes taking anthelmintic drugs.

Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense) are intestinal parasites of the cat and dog that get their name from the hook-like mouthparts they use to anchor themselves to the lining of the intestinal wall. They are only about 1/8 (3 mm) long and so small that it is very difficult to see them with the naked eye. ...

Results:. The infections in three of the patients were diagnosed during the initial 6 years and six in the last 2 years. All owned a dog and described activity potentially exposing them to infection with canine hookworm larvae. Three patients had a laparotomy for acute abdominal pain, and six had colonoscopies (five with pain and one without symptoms). Six of the nine had blood eosinophilia (mean, 0.97 × 109/L), and five of eight had elevated immunoglobulin E levels (mean level, 756 µg/L); six of eight had eosinophilic inflammation of the gut. In six patients, the worm was identified as A. caninum, whereas in three, damage to the specimen did not allow specific identification; however, they were unlikely to be human parasite species. Although all parasites were in the adult stage, none were sexually mature. Positive serologic findings in seven of the eight patients tested confirmed presence of antibody to the parasite. ...

Abstract. A panel of 80 compounds was screened for anthelmintic activity against a laboratory strain of Ancylostoma ceylanicum and field isolates of hookworm obtained from school children in the Kintampo North District of the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. Although the laboratory strain of A. ceylanicum was more susceptible to the compounds tested than the field isolates of hookworm, a twofold increase in compound concentration resulted in comparable egg hatch percent inhibition for select compounds. These data provide evidence that the efficacy of anthelmintic compounds may be species-dependent and that field and laboratory strains of hookworm differ in their sensitivities to the anthelmintics tested. These data also suggest that both compound concentration and hookworm species must be considered when screening to identify novel anthelmintic compounds.

Ancylostoma hookworms are small, thread-like parasites that attach to the walls of the small intestine in cats, feeding on the blood of their host. Hookworms are fairly common, infecting an estimated 10 to 60 percent of all cats at some point. - Wag! (formerly Vetary)

Hookworm parasite. Light micrograph of the rear end of Ancylostoma caninum, a parasitic hookworm which affects cats and dogs. This species of nematode worm is unable to mature in humans but the larvae often causes lesions in the skin. The hookworm larvae live in soil and water, mainly in the warm, moist tropics. They enter a host by boring through the skin. Once within the body they migrate, via the lungs, to the intestines. Here they secure themselves with hooks around their mouthparts to the intestinal wall and suck blood from their host. They release thousands of eggs each day which pass out of the host with the feces. Magnification: x18 at 35mm size. - Stock Image Z180/0013

Hookworms:. Hookworms are very serious parasites, especially in young animals. They are very small worms, barely visible to the human eye. Hookworm larvae can penetrate skin to infect the host - this includes barefoot humans! They can also be transmitted to unborn pups. The adult hookworm attaches itself to the intestinal wall and feeds on blood.. The larva can infect its new host in several ways. One way is to penetrate the hosts skin directly through the feet or belly or whatever part of the skin is touching the ground. Another way for the larva to gain entry to the new host is to be present in soil that is licked and swallowed by the host as it cleans itself.. Infection of a very young puppy can occur in two additional ways. Typically an infected mother dog will have encysted larvae all around her body. Throughout the adult dogs life, some larvae will awaken, break out of their cysts, and complete their migration to the GI tract.. Pregnancy hormones unfortunately serve as little wake-up ...

Although mankind has known about intestinal parasites for millennia, it has only been in the last century that scientists have recognized the diseases caused by zoonotic parasites. Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), including Toxocara canis and Ancylostoma caninum, are an important subset of zoonotic parasites, and they have developed unique characteristics that allow them to infect humans and animals. Overt parasitism is no longer common in many developed nations; however, the subtle and varied symptoms associated with STH infection, along with the lack of experience and interest of the human healthcare industry, mean that many cases of zoonotic infection are missed. These diseases not only affect the health of humans, but they also have poverty-promoting effects. The lack of attention paid to these parasites in recent years has caused the World Health Organization to label them neglected zoonotic diseases. Human culture and individual behaviors are important risk factors for these diseases, ...

A prime example of the kind of evidence at hand to establish transoceanic transport for such organisms is the case of the hookworm, Ancylostoma duodenale. Its relative rarity in some tropical areas of the New World and its long-term prevalence in East and Southeast Asia make the latter area the place where epidemiologists think the organism originated. At first early historians of medicine assumed that A. duodenale had been introduced into the Americas by slaves brought from Africa. Early in the 20th century, O. da Fonseca discovered the parasite in an isolated Amerindian population in the Amazon basin.49 Shortly afterward, microbiologist Samuel Darling weighed the evidence and concluded it was likely that the hookworm had reached native South American forest dwellers before Columbus arrived. If that could be proven, he observed, then the only plausible explanation for its presence in the New World would be that it arrived anciently via infected humans who had crossed the ocean.50.

Yes, worms found in dogs and cats are potential health hazards for humans, too. If hookworm larvae penetrate the skin they can cause cutaneous larval migrans, a potentially serious and scarring inflammation results.. For example, ascarid (roundworm) eggs, if ingested, can cause a disease called visceral larval migrans where tiny worm larvae migrate through the persons intestinal wall and into the body tissues. They then grow to larger size almost anywhere in the body. Ocular disease is a common sequel visceral larval migrans. Children are at most serious risk especially if play behavior is in an environment where dog, cat, or raccoon feces may be present... such as in a sandbox. A single adult Toxicara canis female can shed up to 100,000 eggs a day which pass into the dog (or cats) environment with the stool. Please take the worming advice of your veterinarian seriously and adhere to strict sanitation principles whenever pets and children are in close contact.. To learn more about ...

Ancylostomiasis (also anchylostomiasis or ankylostomiasis) is a hookworm disease caused by infection with Ancylostoma hookworms. The name is derived from Greek ancylos αγκύλος crooked, bent and stoma στόμα mouth. Ancylostomiasis is also known as miners anaemia, tunnel disease, brickmakers anaemia and Egyptian chlorosis. Helminthiasis may also refer to ancylostomiasis, but this term also refers to all other parasitic worm diseases as well. In the United Kingdom, if acquired in the context of working in a mine, the condition is eligible for Industrial Injuries Disability Benefit. It is a prescribed disease (B4) under the relevant legislation.§ Ancylostomiasis is caused when hookworms, present in large numbers, produce an iron deficiency anemia by sucking blood from the hosts intestinal walls. Because the larvae are in an abnormal host, they do not mature to adults but instead migrate through the skin until killed by the hosts inflammatory response. This migration causes local ...

Plant cysteine proteases isolated from these plants have been found to have high proteolytic activities that are known to digest nematode cuticles, with very low toxicity.[7] Successful results have been reported against nematodes such as Heligmosomoides bakeri, Trichinella spiralis, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Trichuris muris, and Ancylostoma ceylanicum; the tapeworm Rodentolepis microstoma, and the porcine acanthocephalan parasite Macracanthorynchus hirundinaceus.[8] A useful property of cysteine proteases is the resistance to acid digestion, allowing possible oral administration. They provide an alternative mechanism of action to current anthelmintics and the development of resistance is thought to be unlikely because it would require a complete change of structure of the helminth cuticle. In several traditional medicines, the fruits ...

In this fixed combination product pyrantel and febantel act synergistically against all relevant nematodes (ascarids, hookworms and whipworms) in dogs. In particular, the activity spectrum covers Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum and Trichuris vulpis. Pyrantel acts as a cholinergic agonist. Its mode of action is to induce spastic paralysis and thereby allow removal from the gastro-intestinal (GI) system by peristalsis. The parasite dies upon exhaustion of its energy reserves, which occurs 2-3 days later ...

Background: Hookworm related cutaneous larva migrans (HrCLM) is common in the developing world. The disease is caused by the migration of animal hookworm larvae in the epidermis and is associated with pruritus and pruritus associated insomnia. The impact of HrCLM on skin disease-associated life quality and the regression of morbidity after ivermectin therapy have never been studied in an endemic setting. Methods: HrCLM-patients were identified through active case finding in 7 slums in Manaus, Brazil. Patients were diagnosed clinically. Skin disease associated life quality was assessed using the modified dermatology life quality index (mDLQI). Clinical pathology was determined in a semi-quantitative manner using a severity score. Patients were treated with ivermectin (200µg/kg) and were followed-up 2 and 4 weeks after treatment. Additionally, knowledge, attitudes and practices in mothers of HrCLM- affected children was assessed through a focus group discussion (FGD). Results: 92 HrCLM-patients ...

Im always wary of predictions, but even more when they are in the ICT area. In any case, its not really a prediction; its more a consequence of what is happening. I would say my first thing is related to demographic growth. Im very much struck by the demographic parameter in todays economy. In my lifetime we have gone from about 4 billion people to 7 billion people on earth. Thats staggering. The implication is about the needs of this population, especially as it relates to migratory movements. I am thinking in particular about migration from rural to urban areas and all the needs of this urban population. Around that, there is a huge role for ICTs and ICT use in terms of urban infrastructure....Another one is the shift of power (I dont know if you can call it that way, but perhaps, redistribution of the cards). As I mentioned the next one billion users of Internet would be from developing countries, so you have a redistribution of cards....these people will have specific needs which are ...

Designing, simulating, and visualizing urban regions is a task of critical importance today. In the year 1900, approximately 14 percent of the worlds population of 1.6 billion people lived in cities. Today it is estimated that more than half of the world population live in cities and the population has grown to over 7 billion people. Moreover, over the next 30 years the growth of the population and amount of urbanization will only increase ...
