arctic trichinosis: two alaskan outbreaks from walrus meat.the arctic form of trichinella spiralis that infects terrestrial and marine mammals is of importance in public health because persons living in arctic regions still depend on wild animals for economic subsistence. in 1975, an extended common-source epidemic of trichinosis attributed to consumption of walrus meat involved 29 persons in barrow, alaska. of those persons eating this meat, 64% became ill, and the rate of infection of persons eating meat prepared with little or no cooking was four tim ...1979571446
helminth parasites of fisher martes pennanti (erxleben) from manitoba, canada.seven species of helminths were recovered during a survey of 162 fisher (martes pennanti) from four areas of manitoba: baylisascaris devosi in 52 fisher; taenia sibirica in 25; physaloptera sp. in nine; alaria mustelae in two; metorchis conjunctus in one; trichinella spiralis in one of 81; molineus sp. in one. b. devosi was the most prevalent parasite and differences in its geographical distribution were possibly related to population density of fisher. the prevalence of other parasites did not ...1979574167
[specialization of the ovocytic endoplasmic reticulum near the contact of the hind gut in trichinella spiralis (author's transl)].in trichinella spiralis, the bigger ovocytes show contacts with the cuticula of the hind gut. near these contacts, the ovocytic endoplasmic reticulum is hypertrophied. this device is described with details and compared to that one of the stichocytes; its possible role is discussed.1979575472
relationship between the antitrichinellous effect of seven derivates of benzimidazolecarbamates and their chemical structure.the efficacy of seven more recently developed anthelmintics of the benzimidazolecarbamate group, i. e., parbendazole, mebendazole, fenbendazole, oxibendazole, cambendazole, oxfendazole and albendazole, has been tested in a series of experiments on white mice artifically infected with trichinella spiralis. our results disclosed a relationship between their anthelmintic effect and their chemical structure. this finding might be of importance in a targeted synthesis of new, effective, derivates of ...1979583335
transfer of anaphylactic antibodies from mother to young in the rat.the transfer of anaphylactic antibodies of classes ige and igga from immunized female rats to babies was examined during primary and secondary immunization by injection, and also in rats infested with trichinella spiralis. ige antibodies were never detected in the blood of the babies, although they were sometimes detected in the milk in their stomachs. similarly, no ige antibodies were found in the serum of babies from mothers infested with trichinella spiralis during pregnancy. igga antibodies ...1977591001
antineoplastic effects of long-term trichinella spiralis infection on b-16 melanoma.oral infection of mice with trichinella spiralis has been shown to induce a potentiation of the delayed hypersensitive (dth) response to bcg. the present investigation was initiated to determine whether nematode-induced potentiation of dth influenced the induction and progression of a transplantable mouse tumor. b6d2f1/j mice were orally infected with 200 t. spiralis larvae 176 days preceding subcutaneous administration of 5 x 10(5) viable b-16 melanoma cells. the antineoplastic effects of long- ...1977591108
in vitro responses of spleen cells from trichinella spiralis-infected mice.the in vitro cellular immune responses of spleen cells from mice infected with trichinella spiralis and immunized with bcg have been investigated. icr/cd-1 mice were originally infected with 200 t. spiralis larvae 22 days prior to infection with 4 x 10(6) viable or heat-killed mycobacteria. analysis of the splenic cell populations indicated that significant increases in adherent cells (macrophages) were noted only in groups previously infected with the nematode; the concentration of non-adherent ...1977591109

an investigation of north atlantic whales for trichinosis.in 1971, 81 finback (balaenoptera physalus), 119 sei (b. borealis), two piked (b. acutorostrata), 15 humpback (megaptera novaeangliae) and one sperm whale (physeter catodon) taken in the north atlantic off the newfoundland and nova scotia coasts were examined for the presence of trichinella spiralis. all 218 whales were negative for trichinosis.1976933319
the prevalence of trichinella spiralis in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and other game species in denmark.a survey of the rate of infection with trichinella spiralis among game animals in denmark is given with special regard to foxes. a total of 5084 foxes and 293 mustelidae were examined, most of them by a combined digestion and baermann technique. deep-frozen samples were examined by a method including digestion, filtration, and sedimentation. four foxes were found infected (cf. fig. 1). three of them were shot inside or just outside a fenced area within which wild boars had previously been found ...1976934811
a re-evaluation of the slide flocculation test for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis with adult worms as antigen.the present study was conducted to determine whether extracts from adult schistosoma mansoni could be coated onto cholesterol-lecithin crystals. of particular interest was the use of stunted schistosomes (ss) recovered from rabbits. the reactions obtained with this antigen in this slide flocculation (sf) test were compared with those employing antigens from cercariae and mature adult worms. the stunted schistosome sf test (sfss) showed a high sensitivity and specificity while cercarial antigen s ...1976937633

altered small bowel propulsion associated with parasitism.experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that alterations of intestinal motility accompany enteric helminth infections. motility was measured in rats during the intestinal phase of infection with the nematode trichinella spiralis by following the transit of radioactive chromium through the gut. intraduodenal catheters were surgically implanted in rats. one week after the operation one group of animals was infected with 8 x 10(3) t. spiralis larvae and a second group was infected with 16 ...1976955350
accelerated expulsion of adult trichinella spiralis in mice given lymphoid cells and serum from infected donors.immunity to the adult stage of trichinella spiralis, assessed by an acceleration of worm expulsion, was transferred to recipient mice with mesenteric lymph node cells (mlnc) or serum taken from infected donors. immunity was transferred most effectively by mlnc taken from donors infected for 8 days, i.e. donors actively responding to infection. transfer of both mlnc and serum brought about a marked acceleration of worm expulsion in all cases, even where mlnc or serum given separately failed to tr ...1976967521
the stichosome and its secretion granules in the mature muscle larva of trichinella spiralis.the stichosome of the mature muscle larva of trichinella spiralis consists of a single row of 45 to 55 stichocytes. each stichocyte is about 25 mum in diameter and possesses a single nucleus. a duct leads from each stichocyte to the lumen of the esophagus. the stichocyte cytoplasm contains mitochondria, structures resembling golgi-complexes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and usually 1 of 2 types of secretory granules. the alpha-granule measures about 800 mn in diameter, contains a prominent inclu ...1976978367
the hematopoietic microenvironment of the bone marrow: an ultrastructural study of the stroma in rats.the bone marrow contains branching vascular sinuses lying in a fibroblastic stroma which supports hematopoiesis. this paper describes the stroma and vascular sinuses by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and in freeze-fracture etch replicas in normal fat femoral marrow and in rats made eosinophilic by larvae of trichinella spiralis. the stroma consists primarily of reticular cells which ensheath sinuses as adventitial cells and branch into the surrounding hematopoietic space. they for ...1976984472

effects on murine trichinosis of niridazole, a suppressant of cellular but not humoral immunological responses.two groups of mice infected with trichinella spiralis were treated with niridazole (100 mg/kg), one on alternate days, the other daily. both regimens failed to influence the numbers of adult worms in the intestines or larvae in the muscles compared with untreated control mice. mice treated with niridazole daily, but not those treated on alternate days, showed a significant reduction in the inflammatory reaction to larvae in the muscles. immediate footpad swelling in response to injection of solu ...1976999358
habitat and reproductive behavior of trichinella spiralis.the normal niche of trichinella spiralis adults was found to be in the epithelial layer of the mucosa of the small intestine of its host. most worms were found in the epithelium at the base of the villi and in the glandular crypts. copulation and insemination occurred between 30 and 32 hr postinfection, all although these acts were never observed, it was concluded that copulation and insemination took place in the epithelial layer of the mucosa. a majority of the adults were found to be complete ...19761003275
