| enzymes activity and worm burden in intestine and liver of mice infected with single doses of ancylostoma caninum larvae. | transaminases increased significantly in the intestine and liver of mice infected with 500, 1,000 and 2,000 doses of ancylostoma caninum larvae. the level of increase remained higher than those of controls throughout the experimental period. the rise of enzymes was mainly due to the pathological changes caused by the migrating larvae within the organs. | 1989 | 2625550 |
| efficacy of nemadectin, a new broad-spectrum endectocide, against natural infections of canine gastrointestinal helminths. | nemadectin, a new broad-spectrum endectocide, was highly efficacious against natural infections of all the major canine gastrointestinal helminths. at single oral dosages of 0.2-0.4 mg kg-1 body weight (bw), a liquid formulation administered in gelatin capsules was 100% effective in eliminating natural infections of toxocara canis, toxascaris leonina, ancylostoma caninum and uncinaria stenocephala. tablets (267 mg) containing 4.6% nemadectin given at a rate of 1/3 tablet per 20 kg bw (0.2 mg nem ... | 1989 | 2617829 |
| serum enzymes and worm load in mice infected with repeated doses of ancylostoma caninum larvae. | the alterations of serum enzymes induced in the host system of swiss albino mice by infection with ancylostoma caninum larvae have been studied in multiple doses of infection. it was found that the level of transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and amylase increased significantly throughout the infection period when compared with controls. in infected animals, increase of enzymes was influenced by the host-parasite interactions caused due to the retained concentration of larval antigens. | 1988 | 2457613 |
| changes in serum enzyme activities in mice infected with single doses of ancylostoma caninum larvae. | aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and amylase levels were significantly increased in experimental female swiss albino mice infected with single doses of 500, 1,000 and 2,000 larvae of ancylostoma caninum. increase of enzyme levels is due to the leakage of large amounts of enzymes into the blood. the necrosis of cells during intestinal and extra intestinal phases of ancylostomiasis in mice is directly responsible for the increase of enzymes. | 1987 | 2437181 |
| specificity of scolex and oncosphere antigens for the serological diagnosis of taeniid cestode infections in dogs. | groups of dogs raised free of helminths were monospecifically infected with the common nematodes toxocara canis, ancylostoma caninum and trichuris vulpis. serums from these dogs, and a group of dogs of unknown history but infected with dirofilaria immitis and dipylidium caninum, had levels of antibody to their homologous nematode antigens readily detectable by elisa. no cross-reactions were apparent when these serums were tested by elisa using oncosphere antigens of taenia hydatigena, t. pisifor ... | 1986 | 2421704 |
| biochemical and immunologic characterization of a major surface antigen of dirofilaria immitis infective larvae. | a 35 kd major surface antigen of dirofilaria immitis third-stage larvae was characterized biochemically and immunologically. living larvae were iodinated by using iodo-gen, iodosulfanilic acid, lactoperoxidase-glucose oxidase, and bolton-hunter reagents. detergent extracts of larvae labeled by the first three methods showed one major 35 kd component and a number of smaller components of about 6 kd, as analyzed by one-dimensional sds-page. in contrast, extracts from larvae labeled with the bolton ... | 1986 | 2419445 |
| effects of milbemycin oxime on adult hookworms in dogs with naturally acquired infections. | previous work indicated that adult ancylostoma caninum can be removed from experimentally infected dogs, using a formulation of milbemycin oxime at dosage of 0.5 mg/kg of body weight. to determine the efficacy of this treatment in dogs naturally infected with adult hookworms, 24 mixed-breed dogs with patent hookworm infections were purchased from an out-of-state vendor, and 6 male and 6 female dogs were assigned to either a control group or a group that would be treated. dogs were treated 10 day ... | 1990 | 2316928 |
| field trials of the anthelmintic efficacy of nitroscanate and mebendazole in dogs. | the efficacies of nitroscanate and mebendazole against nematodes and dipylidium caninum were compared by the examination of the faeces of 155 dogs. in unweaned puppies nitroscanate acted significantly faster and was significantly more effective than mebendazole against toxocara canis. in adult dogs, both drugs had a low efficacy against trichuris vulpis but a similarly good efficacy against other nematodes, with a tendency for nitroscanate to be more effective in reducing the prevalence of ancyl ... | 1990 | 2309388 |
| metalloproteases of infective ancylostoma hookworm larvae and their possible functions in tissue invasion and ecdysis. | to infect their hosts, hookworm larvae must exsheath and migrate through connective tissue. a modified in vitro skin chamber was used to show that the human hookworm ancylostoma duodenale and the zoonotic canine hookworm ancylostoma caninum penetrate epidermis, basement membrane, and dermis in similar ways. these similarities in tissue invasion properties reflect the observed biochemical similarities in parasite protease composition. the larvae of both species contain protease activity that is i ... | 1990 | 2254016 |
| extrusion of the residual body in spermatids of ancylostoma caninum (nematoda, strongyloidea). | transmission electron microscopy reveals that the spermatocytes of the hookworm ancylostoma caninum contain an abundance of golgi complexes, ribosomes, specialized membranous organelles, and long strands of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. these organelles remain abundant until the early spermatid stage of sperm development, when they reach their maximum abundance and maturity and the production of new ones ceases. golgi complexes, ribosomes, and excess ser, which are not functional after this stag ... | 1990 | 2160020 |
| serum-stimulated feeding in vitro by third-stage infective larvae of the canine hookworm ancylostoma caninum. | developmentally arrested nonfeeding infective larvae of hookworms resume development after entry into the host, presumably in response to a signal encountered during invasion. logically, an initial step in the resumption of development might be the resumption of feeding. an in vitro assay for feeding is described for the third-stage larvae of the canine hookworm ancylostoma caninum. populations of larvae incubated under hostlike conditions in the presence of 10% canine serum resume feeding withi ... | 1990 | 2112598 |
| efficacy of nitroscanate against naturally acquired infection with ancylostoma caninum, dipylidium caninum, and trichuris vulpis in dogs. | eighteen dogs with naturally acquired helminth infections were used to evaluate the efficacy of nitroscanate against ancylostoma caninum, dipylidium caninum, and trichuris vulpis. approximately 15 minutes before treatment, the dogs were given 100 to 200 g of canned dog food. ten dogs were treated with nitroscanate (50 mg/kg of body weight, po), and 8 dogs were given placebo tablets po. the dogs were euthanatized and necropsied 10 days after treatment and helminths were recovered from the small i ... | 1991 | 2053726 |

| parasites, pets, and people. | it is important for the family physician to understand that patients' relationships with their pets play an important role in helping maintain mental and physical health yet provide the potential for causing illness in the patient. toxocara canis (dog roundworm) and toxocara cati (cat roundworm) are the ascarids most commonly responsible for vlm and ocular larva migrans in humans. these roundworms live in their adult stage in the small intestine of the dog and cat where their eggs are passed in ... | 1991 | 2011635 |
| zinc sulfide in intestinal cell granules of ancylostoma caninum adults. | a source of confusion has existed since the turn of the century about the reddish brown, weakly birefringent "sphaerocrystals" located in the intestines of strongyle nematodes, strongylus and ancylostoma. x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometric analyses were used for accurate determination of the crystalline order and elemental composition of the granules in the canine hookworm ancylostoma caninum. the composition of the intestinal pigmented granules was identified unequivocally as ... | 1991 | 2010861 |
| hookworm folliculitis. | a case of persistent folliculitis in a 21-year-old man was demonstrated to be due to ancylostoma caninum larvae. treatment with oral thiabendazole was curative. cutaneous larva migrans may be due to a caninum, but this presentation appears to be unique. the literature concerning etiology and pathogenesis of larva migrans is discussed with reference to this case. | 1991 | 2006880 |
| human eosinophilic enteritis caused by dog hookworm ancylostoma caninum. | an epidemic of eosinophilic enteritis (93 cases) has occurred in townsville, northern queensland, australia. a hookworm was found attached to a resected, inflamed ileal segment from 1 patient but the species could not be identified. an adult hookworm of species ancylostoma caninum was recovered at colonoscopy from the terminal ileum of a later patient. all of 38 patients interviewed in an epidemiological survey described behaviour which could have exposed them to infective larvae of this widespr ... | 1990 | 1971376 |
| transaminases changes and worm burden in multiple infection of ancylostoma caninum in mice. | aspartate transaminase level was significantly increased in intestine of experimentals that received multiple doses of infection. the level of alanine transaminase rose to a significant value in liver of mice infected with multiple doses. rise of transaminases is correlated with the necrosis (disruption of intestina) hepatic cells in infected mice. changes and/or the distribution of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase with regard to the dosage is discussed. | 1991 | 1940329 |
| host-finding and host recognition of infective ancylostoma caninum larvae. | a. caninum larvae responded to environmental and host stimuli with four behavioral phases of host-finding. (1) snake-like movement was stimulated by warmth and by defined vibrations of the substratum. (2) waving behavior was a prerequisite for the passive change-over to dog hairs. it was stimulated by heat radiation and by the co2 content, warmth, and humidity of an air stream. (3) creeping direction: the larvae were attracted by heat in temperature gradients as weak as 0.04 degrees c mm-1 and b ... | 1991 | 1917283 |
| effect of milbemycin oxime against ancylostoma caninum in dogs with naturally acquired infection. | twenty-six mixed-breed (14 males, 12 females) dogs were used in a double-blind study to evaluate the effect of milbemycin oxime against naturally acquired infection with ancylostoma caninum. dogs were ranked and paired, on the basis of number of hookworm eggs/g of feces, and treatment was randomly assigned. each dog was given either the study drug or placebo (1 tablet/11.4 kg [0.5 mg/kg] of body weight). eggs per gram of feces enumeration was done on days 3 and 7 after treatment, and dogs were e ... | 1991 | 1883101 |
| [parasitologic, clinical, hematologic and serologic findings in puppies after lactogenic infection with ancylostoma caninum ercolani 1859 (ancylostomidae)]. | the correlation between intensity of ancylostoma caninum infections in bitches and the intensity of lactogenic infections and clinical signs of their puppies was investigated. on average, 825, 1,867 or 2,125 specimens were observed in litters of two bitches inoculated with 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 third stage larvae (liii) respectively, at the day of conception. adverse effects of the infection on the growth and behaviour of the puppies were observed after onset of their second week of life: 11/2 ... | 1991 | 1853668 |
| effects of alcohol on natural resistance to ancylostoma caninum in mice. | experiments were performed to study the effect of alcohol on natural immunity of swiss albino mice during ancylostoma caninum infection. natural resistance is lowered in alcoholic mice; 40% alcohol by mouth produced significant effect after 20 daily injections. the effect of the drug on natural immunity depended upon the concentration and the period of consumption. animals retained maximum number of larvae during alcohol treatment. | 1991 | 1804867 |
| anthelmintic activity of paraherquamide in dogs. | paraherquamide, an oxindole alkaloid metabolite of penicillium paraherquei and penicillium charlesii, was tested against the common gastrointestinal nematodes of dogs at a single oral dosage of 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg kg-1. efficacy was poor (less than 85%) against ancylostoma caninum, uncinaria stenocephala, toxascaris leonina, trichuris vulpis, and strongyloides stercoralis at the low- and mid-dosage levels. at the high dosage level, good efficacy (91%) was observed only against s. stercoralis. ad ... | 1991 | 1788941 |
