| visceral larva migrans in french adults: a new disease syndrome? | visceral larva migrans is apparently an endemic disease among adults in southwest france. thirty-seven adults living in the midi-pyrenees region of france were confirmed as having visceral larva migrans based on an increased specific antibody titer to toxocara canis as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and by the western blot method. the disease was characterized clinically by weakness, pruritus, rash, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, and pathologically by allergic manif ... | 1987 | 3578244 |
| presumed toxocara canis with peripheral retinal granuloma and secondary macular hole. | ocular manifestations of a presumed parasitic infection toxocaris canis were discovered in the eye of a 53-year-old male presenting for a routine examination. current serologic and skin tests were of little value in establishing the diagnosis, although the elisa immunosorbent agglutination serologic test was helpful but not definitive. the clinician therefore was forced to diagnose this disease based on the characteristic clinical findings. | 1987 | 3584809 |
| control of toxocara canis in puppies: a comparison of screening techniques and evaluation of a dosing programme. | conventional chemoprophylaxis of canine toxocariasis is based upon the treatment of young puppies. it is proposed that physiological considerations and the complexity of the host-parasite relationship in the case of toxocara canis demand that anthelmintic evaluation should properly be conducted in such animals rather than in adolescent or adult dogs. a screening model using the critical trial technique in early weaned pups gave variable results even with compounds known to be of high efficacy in ... | 1987 | 3586119 |
| visceral larva migrans involving the myocardium: report of two cases and review of literature. | two cases of asymptomatic visceral larva migrans (vlm) involving the myocardium, discovered during open heart surgery, are reported. only 7 cases of vlm myocarditis were found in recent english publications. all 7 cases involved children, with most of the patients acutely ill. our 2 asymptomatic cases, coupled with the high rate of positive serologic tests in the general population, stress the widespread nature of toxocara canis infection in human and the large number of subclinical, undetected ... | 1986 | 3588440 |
| [pleural effusion and toxocara canis]. | toxocariasis is an infrequent disease which particularly affects children. toxocara canis is an uncommon parasite of man, who is not the normal host for the nematode. without doubt toxocara will be recognised more and more thanks to specific serological tests, in particular the elisa-esa test. the authors observed the association of a pleural reaction and a generalised hypereosinophilia (blood, pleural fluid and broncho-alveolar lavage). they noted a complete regression on mebendazole. | 1987 | 3589105 |
| the effect of radiation on the viability and migratory ability of second-stage larvae of toxocara canis in mice. | larval counts were made on mice 2 days after oral inoculation with x-ray (0-320 krad) or of gamma ray (0-6 mrad) irradiated eggs containing second-stage toxocara canis larvae. the majority of the larvae irradiated with 0-40 krad were recovered from the liver and lungs, while most of the larvae irradiated with 80 or 160 krad remained in the digestive tract, mainly in the stomach and the proximal half of the small intestine. only a small number of the 320 krad irradiated larvae was recovered from ... | 1987 | 3590613 |
| [larva migrans visceralis--occurrence of ascarid eggs in sandboxes in the east german district city of cottbus]. | between 1982 and 1985 18 sand-pits were examined for toxocara canis eggs. eggs were found in 4 sand-pits. this implies a risk of larva migrans visceralis infection for children playing in these sand-pits. some measures for diminishing the contamination are recommended. | 1987 | 3619114 |
| ocular toxocara canis infections: diagnosis by enzyme immunoassay. | an enzyme-linked immunoassay (elisa) was used to establish the sero-prevalence of toxocara canis infection in several new zealand populations including those who, through environment or occupation, had close contact with dogs. the prevalence of positive elisa values found reflected the degree of dog contact, e.g. positive elisa's occurred in 2.8% of urban adults, 13.9% of dog breeders and 28.4% of hydatid control officers emphasizing that a history of dog contact needs to be considered when elis ... | 1987 | 3620188 |
| homology and heterology between the secreted antigens of the parasitic larval stages of ascaris lumbricoides and ascaris suum. | the materials released in vitro by the tissue-parasitic larval stages of the large roundworm of man, ascaris lumbricoides, were analysed by radio-iodination, immunoprecipitation, and sds-page. the antigens were found to be heterogeneous, ranging in molecular weight from 14 to 410 kd, and were found to alter radically during the parasites' migration to the lungs. the antigens secreted by the infective and lung-stage larvae of the pig homologue, ascaris suum, were compared with those of the human ... | 1987 | 3621674 |
| asymptomatic toxocariasis in children. a prospective study and treatment trial. | screening of 153 hispanic children attending a hospital-based primary care clinic revealed a 16 percent prevalence of toxocara canis infection. infections were found in other household occupants for half of these children. follow-up of 20 children (for periods of up to 7 years) with asymptomatic t. canis infection failed to demonstrate any clinical sequelae. however, longer periods would be necessary to entirely discount the possibility of latent ocular disease. treatment with thiabendazole did ... | 1987 | 3621769 |

| [differential diagnosis between retinoblastoma and ocular toxocariasis]. | we studied the sensitivity for toxocara canis (elisa technique) in 5 cases of retinoblastoma confirmed by anatomopathological examination. some presented with a positive reaction in serum and/or in aqueous. now that surgical technique are available that permit to functionally save eyes affected by toxocariasis, we felt that a safe and reliable differential diagnosis between toxocariasis and retinoblastoma is of major importance. a positive elisa test even in the aqueous fluid does'nt seem reliab ... | 1987 | 3624795 |
| toxocara canis infection and hyperactivity. | an observational study using video recordings and computer assisted data analysis showed that infection with toxocara canis larvae had a marked effect on five readily and reliably differentiable categories of murine behaviour. the infection was also associated with an increase in the number of shorter bouts of each behavior. these results indicate that infection with t. canis renders mice hyperactive, and would appear to justify a complete reappraisal of the role of this neurotropic parasite as ... | 1986 | 3632100 |
| the impact of single versus repeated exposure of mice to toxocara canis. | infection with t. canis can alter dramatically the brain and behavior of the host. previous results suggest that if the mammalian host is exposed either simultaneously to lead, or has a history of prior exposure to that toxic substance, the magnitude of the behavioral reaction to t. canis may be modified or even reduced. the present data suggest that the magnitude of both the behavioral and tissue/immune reactions may be less if the organism has multiple, instead of a single exposure, to t. cani ... | 1987 | 3659146 |
| parasitic infections in yakima indians. | two hundred and five yakima indians (age range: one to 66 years) were examined for parasitic infections, and various environmental exposures to infection. a questionnaire was completed by each participant and an anal swab, blood specimens and a single faecal sample were obtained. eight of 181 swabs (4.4%) contained eggs of enterobius vermicularis. of 89 faecal specimens submitted, 12 (13.5%) and 1 (1.1%) respectively contained giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium. sera were screened for antibodie ... | 1987 | 3662670 |
| the consequences of parasitic infection for the behavior of the mammalian host. | as many as one billion people may be infected with animal parasites. the behavioral consequences of such infection, or of illness in general, is poorly understood. this issue is discussed using as an example infection of mice with toxocara canis, the common roundworm of dogs. current literature suggests that two-thirds of all dogs have been infected with this parasite, and 7% of all humans have antibodies to t. canis. t. canis completes its life cycle in dogs, but when it infects aberrant mammal ... | 1987 | 3665867 |
| comparative study of assays detecting circulating immune complexes and specific antibodies in patients infected with toxocara canis. | a sandwich elisa method using previously described e/s antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies has been developed to detect circulating immune complexes in patients infected with toxocara canis. this technique could be used for the study of the dynamics of the parasite-host relationship, as we believe the detection of immune complexes and/or soluble antigen to be an improvement over detection of antibodies only. in this parasitosis, antibodies may be present in residual levels for prolonged perio ... | 1987 | 3668209 |
| superoxide dismutase activity in nematodes. | the activities of the enzymes superoxide dismutase (e.c.:1.15.1.1) and catalase (e.c.:1.11.1.6) were studied in purified extracts of four nematodes: ascaris suum, toxascaris leonina, toxocara canis and t. cati adult males and females. no catalase activity was found in any of the extracts. the results reveal that the sod activities of the four parasites presented species differences and also sexual differences within each species. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis pattern analysis confirmed that ... | 1987 | 3668213 |

| parasites of stray dogs in the rabat region, morocco. | eighteen parasites were identified from 57 stray dogs from the urban and rural areas of rabat. the prevalence of the species of parasites was: ctenocephalides (c. canis, c. felis) 94.7%, rhipicephalus sanguineus 68.5%, linguatula serrata, babesia canis, isospora canis each 3.5%, toxocara canis 7%, dirofilaria immitis, taenia hydatigena, t. pisiformis each 12.3%, dipetalonema dracunculoides 10.5%, ancylostoma caninum 17.5% echinococcus granulosus 22.8%, toxascaris leonina 33.3%, dipylidium caninu ... | 1987 | 3675044 |
| toxocara canis: interaction of human blood eosinophils with the infective larvae. | this study was carried out to investigate the nature of the immunological responses which took place in a child who had recently recovered from toxocariasis. she had developed a marked eosinophilia and had high titers of toxocara antibodies. experiments were performed to examine whether toxocara canis infective larvae could be killed in the presence of her serum and human eosinophils. eosinophils with human complement, or this patient's serum, adhered to the surface of the larvae within 10 min. ... | 1986 | 3709753 |
| enzyme immunoassay (elisa) for the detection of specific igg antibodies to toxocara canis es antigens. | this paper reports the development of an enzyme-immunosorbent assay for the detection in human serum of specific igg against excretory/secretory antigens of second stage toxocara canis larvae. similar tests have been already used in several countries for clinical and epidemiological purposes on human toxocariasis and currently represent the only specific means for the serological diagnosis of this parasitic disease. specificity and sensitivity have been proved and original data on the epidemiolo ... | 1986 | 3718679 |

| chemotactic reactivity of eosinophils obtained from bone marrow and peritoneal cavity of cyclophosphamide-treated, toxocara canis-infected mice. | chemotactic reactivity of eosinophils obtained from the bone marrow (bm-eo) of cyclophosphamide-treated, toxocara canis-infected mice was compared to that of eosinophils obtained from the peritoneal cavity (pec-eo). bm-eo responded well to alanyl-tetrapeptide, a synthetic eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ecf-a), whereas pec-eo did not. both bm-eo and pec-eo showed almost equally high chemotactic reactivity to parasite-derived ecf, ecf lymphokine and complement-derived ecf. chemotact ... | 1986 | 3733233 |
| nonspecific allergic granulomatosis in the lungs of mice infected with large but not small inocula of the canine ascarid, toxocara canis. | infection of cba/j mice with 250 ova of toxocara canis results in development of splenic lymphocytes hyperergic to nonspecific stimuli. these studies were performed to see if the granulomatous response to a nonspecific stimulus was exaggerated. using eosinophil counts and mbsa ear thickening it was demonstrated that concurrent infection with the parasite and immunization with methylated bovine serum albumin (mbsa) elicit no immunologic cross reactions. eosinophil counts were proportional to the ... | 1986 | 3742887 |
| neuroretinitis in presumed visceral larva migrans. | neuroretinitis is a rate manifestation of toxocariasis that can occur as a late sequelae to the active disseminated phase of the disease visceral larval migrans (vlm). this case report describes a 14-year-old boy who developed vlm and concurrent neuroretinitis. during the acute illness, the patient's serum elisa titer to toxocara canis rose to greater than 256 and a lymph node biopsy revealed necrotizing lymphadenitis with eosinophilia. the constitutional symptoms of vlm may be mild and easily o ... | 1986 | 3749627 |

| experimental toxocariasis and hyperactivity in mice. | an observational study using videorecordings and computer-assisted data analysis was undertaken in order to investigate the behaviour of mice infected with larvae of toxocara canis. the findings indicated that the infection had a marked effect on five readily and reliably differentiable categories of murine behaviour. a marked increase in the number of shorter bouts of each of the five behaviours was also associated with the infection. these results support previous findings and further suggest ... | 1986 | 3754367 |
| toxocara canis infestation. clinical and epidemiological associations with seropositivity in kindergarten children. | we studied a cohort of 333 children in kindergarten to determine the prevalence of seropositivity to toxocara canis, and to detect and measure chronic health effects that might be attributable to past infection. we found that 23.1% of the children had serologic evidence of infection (antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:32), assayed by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. black children were more frequently infested than white children, as were children of parents who did not grad ... | 1986 | 3763150 |
| [epidemiological aspects of toxocariasis in switzerland]. | in the regions of basel, jura and zürich (switzerland) 765 blood donors completed a questionnaire with respect to symptoms, animal contacts and occupation, and their sera were tested for antibodies to tissue helminths in elisa. 5.1%, 3.3% and 6.5% exhibited antibodies solely to the respective antigens of toxocara canis, fasciola hepatica, and echinococcus granulosus. combined seroreactions were mainly observed between f. hepatica and e. granulosus antigens. reactivity to t. canis antigen was ass ... | 1986 | 3764384 |
| the relationship between toxocara elisa absorbance values and toxocara elisa titres: a comparative study. | enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) may be made by a variety of techniques at one or several serum dilutions which is very confusing for clinicians. this study compares the elisa results from two centres on sera from 12 patients investigated for ocular toxocariasis by two common elisa methods--the absorbance and titration techniques. with one exception, elisa results by the two methods correlated well. for reasons outlined, the absorbance elisa method is likely to remain the preferred me ... | 1986 | 3768173 |

| circulating excretory-secretory antigen levels and specific antibody responses in mice infected with toxocara canis. | circulatory excretory-secretory antigen levels and igm and igg responses to larval antigens were monitored in the serum of 20 balb/c mice that had been given approximately 500 infective eggs of toxocara canis by stomach tube. other groups of mice received different doses of infective eggs, ranging from 5 to 1,250 eggs. excretory-secretory antigens were collected from culture fluid in which mechanically hatched larvae of t. canis were maintained. an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was ... | 1987 | 3812886 |
| anthelmintic effect of levamisole hydrochloride or ivermectin on tissue toxocariasis of mice. | paranatal transmission of toxocara canis infection could be prevented in pups if an effective drug were administered to pregnant bitches. this drug also could eliminate the larvae in dogs that have been experimentally infected repeatedly to produce protective immunity. for these reasons, we assayed the effect of 2 doses of levamisole hydrochloride or ivermectin on t canis larvae. mice (5 groups) were infected with 1,000 infective t canis larvae and then treated with 2 different dosages of levami ... | 1987 | 3826867 |
| intestinal helminths of domestic dogs in the hessian neckar valley, federal republic of germany. | in a small town and its adjacent villages of the hessian neckar valley, federal republic of germany, 155 of the officially registered domestic dogs were examined for intestinal helminths. twenty percent of the animals proved to be infected. the highest prevalence of 5.8% could be attributed to infections with toxocara canis. these values are well below the average rates for dogs in the larger german cities. | 1985 | 3833828 |
| canine and human gastrointestinal helminthiasis of the kainji lake area, nigeria. | an investigation into gastrointestinal helminthiasis in human and dog population of the kainji lake area revealed a high prevalence of helminthiasis which may be due to lack of adequate health and veterinary facilities; crowdiness and squalid environment. the prevalent parasites in humans were ancylostoma sp, 40.33%; ascaris lumbricoides, 44.07% and strongyloides stercoralis 4.05%, while in dogs ancylostoma sp, 36.95%, dipylidium caninum, 28.26%, echinococcus granulosus, 8.69% and s. stercoralis ... | 1985 | 3833832 |

| biosynthetic labelling of the excretory and secretory antigens of toxocara canis larvae. | toxocara canis larvae were cultured in vitro in medium containing [35s-]methionine for six days. the medium and the larval tissues were analysed for biosynthetically labelled polypeptides by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. immunoprecipitates with positive and negative human antiserum were similarly analysed, using staphylococcus aureus to absorb immunocomplexes. the larvae secrete biosynthetically labelled polypeptides into the medium, with three m ... | 1985 | 4031454 |
| regulation of toxocariasis in mice selectively reared for high and low immune responses to nematospiroides dubius. | test mice have been selectively reared for high (h) or low (l) immune responses to nematospiroides dubius. after secondary infection with n. dubius, the l mice voided ten times as many eggs in their faeces as the h mice, and at necropsy, 71% versus 20% of the inoculum of n. dubius were recovered as adult worms from the l and h mice respectively. furthermore, n. dubius were more fecund in the l than in h mice. high or low immune responsiveness was not restricted to n. dubius infection in these mi ... | 1985 | 4031456 |
| toxocara canis larvae in the brain of a british child. | the clinical and autopsy findings of a two and a half year-old infant with toxocara sp. infection of the brain and granulomatous lesions in the liver are reported. the cause of death was non-accidental injury. the relationship between toxocara infection and behavioural disorders is discussed. | 1985 | 4035735 |
| the radioallergosorbent test (rast) for the serological diagnosis of human anisakiasis. | the serum of patients with parasitologically confirmed and one patient with a clinically presumptive case of anisakiasis were tested by the radioallergosorbent test (rast) and counter-electrophoresis (cep) for ige and igg antibodies, respectively, using antigens prepared from larval (l3) stage anisakis simplex and larval (l2) stage toxocara canis. all sera were rast-positive to the a. simplex antigen and rast-negative to the t. canis antigen. all sera were cep-negative to both antigens. the pres ... | 1985 | 4039859 |
| seroprevalence of zoonotic toxocariasis in the united states: 1971-1973. | demographic characteristics associated with human toxocara canis infection in children aged one to 11 years were investigated using data from the health and nutrition examination survey of 1971 to 1973. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with larval stage antigen was used to measure the concentration of antibodies to t. canis in 1,409 available sera. from 4.6 to 7.3% of the children in different geographic regions of the united states have been infected, with serologic prevalence approaching 3 ... | 1985 | 4050776 |
| the progression of behavioral and pathological effects of the parasite toxocara canis in the mouse. | toxocara canis, the parasitic roundworm of the dog may infect aberrant hosts including mice and humans. the present study examined the behavioral and pathological changes at each of three postintubation periods (period 1: 8-10 days, 2: 49-51 days, and 3: 84-86 days postintubation, respectively) in independent groups of mice intubated with 1000 eggs of t. canis. eight-ten days after intubation toxocara infected animals typically showed depressed levels of activity relative to saline-intubated con ... | 1985 | 4059398 |
| ocular toxocariasis studied by ct scanning. | ocular toxocara canis infection causing larval granulomatosis and leading to chronic endophthalmitis and retinal detachment is a well-defined cause of unilateral leukokoria in children. the computed tomographic (ct) scan revealed a diffuse, nonenhancing, well-defined hyperdense lesion occupying most of the globe. the ct findings do not definitively differentiate the diffuse endophthalmitis of larval granulomatosis from retinoblastoma or other pseudogliomas. | 1985 | 4059556 |
