The International Journal for Parasitology is an international medical journal published for the Australian Society for Parasitology by Elsevier. The journal includes original research articles, reviews, and commentary relating to parasites and their host interactions.
Similarly, in the International Journal for Parasitology, Osada et al. published their experimental findings that arthritis-induced mice infected with the parasitic worm Schistosoma mansoni had down-regulated immune systems. [19]
The worms require the mosquito as an intermediate host to complete their lifecycles. The rate of development in the mosquito is temperature-dependent, requiring about two weeks of temperature at or above 27 °C (80 °F). Below a threshold temperature of 14 °C (57 °F), development cannot occur, and the cycle is halted. [13]
A Trypanosomiasis vaccine is a vaccine against trypanosomiasis.No effective vaccine currently exists, but development of a vaccine is the subject of current research. The Gates Foundation has been involved in funding research conducted by the Sabin Vaccine Institute and others.
Hymenolepis microstoma is an obligate parasite.Adults live in the bile duct and small intestine of rodents such as mice (Mus musculus), and larvae infect grain beetles such as Tribolium spp., in which they metamorphose from larvae into juvenile worms. [3]
Hookworms are intestinal, blood-feeding, parasitic roundworms that cause types of infection known as helminthiases. Hookworm infection is found in many parts of the world, [1] and is common in areas with poor access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Trypanosoma antiquus is an extinct species of kinetoplastid (class Kinetoplastida), a monophyletic [1] group of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa.. The genus name is derived from the Greek trypano (borer) and soma (body) because of their corkscrew-like motion, and the species name from antiquua (old) reflecting the age of the specimen. [2]
Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite that was identified as a species in 1988. Prior to this, it was misclassified as Toxoplasma gondii due to structural similarities. [1] ...
