In cases of lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) caused by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi , albendazole is sometimes given as an adjunct to ivermectin or diethylcarbamazine in order to suppress microfilaremia. (wikipedia.org)
Modern medicine successfully copes with paragonimiasis (lungs), cysticercosis (brain), echinococcosis (liver) and filariasis (lymphatic vessels). (parazitiintestinali.com)
Schistosomiasis1
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are the most important helminthiases, and are among the neglected tropical diseases. (wikipedia.org)
Larvae2
Some larvae of worms move through the body through the circulatory system and randomly attach to any organ. (parazitiintestinali.com)
It is transmitted when larvae, released by freshwater snails, penetrate human skin when in contact with infested water. (infontd.org)
Circulatory1
These substances then enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the host body. (wikipedia.org)
Liver1
The eggs they produce and release are spread via blood throughout the body and can get trapped in organ tissues, such as the liver, the bladder, the lungs, and even the brain, leading to inflammation and damage. (infontd.org)
Symptoms3
Where the burden of parasites in the body is light, there may be no symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
Symptoms of infection in humans include cough, muscle aches, runny nose and sore throat. (who.int)

Worms5
Helminthiasis, also known as worm infection, is any macroparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms, known as helminths. (wikipedia.org)
The helminthic parasites (simply worms) are divided into two categories, which correspond to the site of activity in the donor's body. (parazitiintestinali.com)
It is well established that T helper 2 cells are the central players of protective immunity to helminths, while the roles for B cells and antibodies are context-dependent. (wikipedia.org)
Routine cross-notification between the veterinary and human health surveillance systems should be part of any zoonotic disease prevention and control programme, and close collaboration between the two health sectors is particularly important during epidemiological and outbreak investigations.

Infection1
One of the main risk factors for the infection and development of human toxocariasis, is to cohabit with puppies and kittens. (scielo.org.co)
Parasitize1
Trichinella can parasitize in the body 57 species of wild and domestic animals, the basis of the circulation of the pathogen lies alimentary communication. (stop-seizures-meds.com)
Infestation1
In humans, T helper cells and eosinophils respond to helminth infestation. (wikipedia.org)
Infections3
Soil-transmitted helminthiases are responsible for parasitic infections in as much as a quarter of the human population worldwide. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] Chronic immune responses to helminthiasis may lead to increased susceptibility to other infections such as tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria. (wikipedia.org)
The highly pathogenic avian influenza is a highly contagious disease affecting wild birds and poultry with occasional infections in human. (who.int)
Parasites2
They are not in vain called parasites, since they feed on the resources of the body they infected. (parazitiintestinali.com)
Humans generally acquire the disease directly or indirectly from infected animals, or through occupational exposure to infected or contaminated animal products. (who.int)
Since it was first reported in Vietnam in 2003, the disease has been responsible for human outbreaks and deaths in 15 countries in Asia, Europe, Middle East and Africa resulting in 603 human cases including 356 deaths. (who.int)
Egypt has been the most affected country in the EMR where the disease has remained endemic, with frequent epizootic and 167 human cases that include 60 deaths. (who.int)
Deposits1
Inflammation leads to encapsulation of egg deposits throughout the body. (wikipedia.org)
Cases2
Trichinosis (trichinellosis) - acute helminthiasis of humans and mammals, the important medico-social importance of which is due to the severity of clinical manifestations, often loss of ability to work, and in some cases fatal. (stop-seizures-meds.com)
All human cases have coincided with outbreaks in poultry. (who.int)
Helminthiasis has been found to result in poor birth outcome, poor cognitive development, poor school and work performance, poor socioeconomic development, and poverty. (wikipedia.org)
Skin1
Penetrates the body through the skin upon contact with contaminated soil. (parazitiintestinali.com)
Animals1
It has existed for hundreds of years and still occurs naturally in both animals and humans in many parts of the world, including Asia, southern Europe, sub-Sahelian Africa and parts of Australia. (who.int)
Importance1
This paper reviews the experimental studies focused on vaccine development for toxocariasis control, and special attention is given to relevant epidemiological studies on the importance of dogs in human toxocariasis. (scielo.org.co)
Begins2
The digestive system begins with the mouth opening, which leads to the mouth capsule, on its ventral side there is a stylet with which the parasite is attached to the intestinal mucosa of the host. (stop-seizures-meds.com)
As soon as the helminth has entered the body, it begins its activity in it. (parazitiintestinali.com)
Quarter1
A large part of the body is occupied by a long and wide uterus, which ends with a sexual opening at the end of the anterior quarter of the body. (stop-seizures-meds.com)
