| toxicity evaluation of prophylactic treatments for mites and pinworms in mice. | the detection of external and internal parasites in laboratory mice is a particularly problematic aspect of animal health evaluation. because these organisms must be detected by direct examination of the feces or hair coat, low-level infestation or sporadic shedding can make them difficult to detect, thereby undermining confidence that negative reports are truly negative. prophylactic treatment of suspect colonies with anthelminthics and/or insecticides may therefore be indicated under some circ ... | 2000 | 11487234 |
| prevalence of toxocara spp. eggs in the soil of public parks in ankara, turkey. | one hundred and seventy soil samples from forty-six public parks in ankara area were examined to determine the level of contamination with toxocara spp. eggs. 30.6% of the 170 soil samples were contaminated with toxocara spp. eggs. the number of eggs in the positive soil samples varied from 1 to 10. a high proportion of the eggs was fully embryonated. the findings demonstrate the common occurrence of these eggs in locations likely to be important in the transmission of visceral larva migrans. of ... | 2000 | 10743338 |

| a missing link in the hygiene hypothesis? | the incidence of childhood type i (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus has risen in parallel with that of childhood asthma, and the hygiene hypothesis proposes that this is due to reduced stimulation of the immune system by early intercurrent infection. if so, this protective effect is probably mediated by regulatory t lymphocytes. co-evolutionary partners might have contributed to the development of this form of response, and parasites and the indigenous biota of the gut are plausible candidat ... | 2002 | 12032638 |
