| ige serum levels in urinary schistosomiasis. | ige serum levels were determined by prist in 56 patients suffering from urinary schistosomiasis and in 39 healthy subjects living in the coriolei area, south of mogadishu. abnormally high ige values (as referred to normal values found in european healthy controls) were observed in 87.5% of the patients, the mean average being 1359.58 +/- 721.11 u/ml in schistosomiasis and 430.57 +/- 600.90 u/ml in somalian healthy controls (p less than 0.01). the possible role of ige in parasitic infection is di ... | 1979 | 543003 |
| [female genital bilharziasis. 1 case]. | in a swiss woman who had travelled in africa ovarian and tubal bilharziasis (schistosoma haematobium) was found by chance during laparotomy. in both sexes genital bilharziasis is nearly always caused by sch. haematobium and is a complication of bilharziasis of the bladder and intestine. genital bilharziasis in woman is found principally in the cervix and in the vagina, less commonly on the vulva and in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and rarely in the body of the uterus. | 1979 | 424717 |
| genitourinary schistosomiasis. | schistosomiasis is a chronic granulomatous disease endemic in the middle east and africa, which undermines the function of the genitourinary tract to a serious degree. it is amenable to medical treatment in the early stages but therapy usually is negated by frequent reinfestations. patients who have complications in the chronic stage of the disease require the level of judicious handling that always taxes the ingenuity and skill of the urologic surgeon. | 1979 | 545818 |

| a comparison between a new serological method, thin layer immunoassay (tia), and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the detection of antibodies in schistosomiasis. | a comparison has been made of a new serological method, thin layer immunoassay (tia), and an established method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), in the detection and quantification of antibodies in schistosomiasis. using sera from known s. haematobium and s. mansoni cases, the performance of the two tests was almost identical; 95.6% positive for tia and 96.4% by elisa. tia however produced a small number of false positives with sera from other helminth infections whereas elisa gave no ... | 1979 | 551379 |

| studies on experimental mixed infection of schistosoma haematobium and schistosoma mansoni in the albino mouse. | swiss albino mice have been infected with s. haematobium and challenged with s. mansoni. no apparent disturbances as regards worm load and oviposition were observed. yet certain deviations in the egg-distribution sites for both species were found. they were attributed to the possibility of earlier de-development of collateral circulation. cross-pairing between the two species was met with, which might explain the extra number of s. haematobium eggs found in the small intestine. although no major ... | 1977 | 601856 |
| seasonal patterns in the transmission of schistosoma haematobium in rhodesia, and its control by winter application of molluscicide. | surveys of snails occurring at water contact points used by rural people in rhodesia show that transmission of schistosoma haematobium is very high during the spring and early summer seasons. although infected snails are found in all seasons, fewest occur in winter and during the heavy rains. it is suggested that the bionomics of this parasite depends on pre-rain transmission because destruction of infected snails during winter reduces the reservoir of infection in the area and also the level of ... | 1979 | 555062 |

| surgical pathology of schistosomal obstructive uropathy: a clinicopathologic correlation. | schistosomal obstructive uropathy was studied by clinical, laboratory epidemiologic and pathologic analysis in 155 egyptian patients treated surgically. most patients were men; rural farmers or laborers. all had severe urinary schistosomiasis with heavy burdens of schistosoma haematobium eggs in their urinary tracts. schistosomal incomplete ureteral stenosis and schistosomal stenosis with ureterolithiasis were the most important obstructive lesions; these lesions were symmetrical and most freque ... | 1977 | 842790 |
| experimental schistosomiasis haematobia in bushbaby (galago crassicaudatus), patas (erythrocebus patas), and grivet (cercopithecus aethiops). | the bushbaby (galago crassicaudatus), patas (erythrocebus patas), and grivet (cercopithecus aethiops) have been evaluated as hosts in experimental schistosomiasis haematobia. individual hosts demonstrated considerable variation in host-parasite relationships. e. patas is suggested as a host for continuing investigations in schistosoma haematobium infections, based upon its moderate susceptibility to infection and a moderate potential for pathological involvement of the urogenital system. | 1975 | 808620 |
| enzyme- and 125i-labeled anti-immunoglobulin assays in the immunodiagnosis of schistosomiasis. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), and radioimmunoassays using antigen bound to plastic tubes or microcrystalline particles, were adapted for the indirect serological measurement of anti-schistosome antibodies. these alkaline phosphatase and 125i-labeled anti-immunoglobulin techniques were found to be highly quantitative and adaptable. comparison showed them to be considerably more sensitive than the indirect hemagglutination and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques. using adult s ... | 1976 | 795311 |

| experimental biharzial bladder cancer: tryptophan metabolism in nonhuman primates experimentally infected with schistosoma haematobium. | a nonhuman primate species infected with schistosoma haematobium provided a model system for controlled studies on biharzial bladder cancer. urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites by capuchin monkeys (cebus apella) was similar to that of humans when expressed per g creatinine. liver tryptophan oxygenase activity of the capuchin monkeys was comparable to that of humans. excretion of 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid was elevated above control levels in capuchin monkeys infect ... | 1976 | 815556 |
| 4-isothiocyanato-4'-nitrodiphenylamine (c 9333-go/cgp 4540), an anthelminthic with an unusual spectrum of activity against intestinal nematodes, filariae and schistosomes. | 4-isothiocyanato-4'-nitrodiphenylamine was found to possess activity against intestinal nematodes in mice, against schistosomes in various hosts including primates and against two filarial species in the mongolian jird. upon administration in a single oral dose it is equally effective against s. haematobium, s. mansoni and s. japonicum. | 1976 | 817928 |
| immunodiagnosis of human schistosomiasis using different immunoprecipitation techniques. | one hundred sera of individuals infected with schistosoma mansoni and/or s. haematobium were examined for the presence of specific anti schistosoma antibodies by means of different immunoprecipitation techniques: immunoelectrophoresis, immunodiffusion, immunoelectroosmophoresis (on two different supports), and electroimmunodiffusion. the immunoelectroosmophoresis proved to be superior to the other immunoprecipitation techniques, its main advantages being sensitivity, rapidity, and economic use o ... | 1975 | 810988 |

| ascorbic acid effect on intestinal iron absorption in different types of anaemias. | the study deals with investigations on anaemia due to iron or protein calorie deficiency and that associating acute glomerulonephritis, nephrosis and schistosoma haematobium. the rate of intestinal iron absorption using an oral dose of ferrous sulphate equivalent to 4 mg clemental iron/kg body weight was studied. the supplementing action of ascorbic acid in iron absorption in these cases was also investigated. the rate of intestinal iron absorption was enhanced in pure iron deficiency anaemia, a ... | 1975 | 816695 |
| proliferative epithelial lesions of the urinary bladder in cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis) infected with schistosoma intercalatum. | five cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis) were infected with schistosoma intercalatum, a helminth that is morphologically similar to schistosoma haematobium. infections were readily established and remained active until the monkeys were sacrificed 21 to 84 weeks after exposure. although the schistosomes were located predominantly in mesenteric and hepatic portal venules, schistosome eggs were found in the bladders of 3 monkeys. nodules of atypical epithelial cells interpreted as superficiall ... | 1976 | 819136 |
