| ecotoxicity revealed in parasite communities of sigmodon hispidus in terrestrial environments contaminated with petrochemicals. | several studies have documented contaminant-induced alterations in host-parasite relationships of vertebrate hosts in aquatic environments, suggesting this functional relationship may be useful for monitoring community-level effects of stressors in terrestrial systems. we hypothesized that gastrointestinal helminth communities of hispid cotton rat (sigmodon hispidus) hosts would be sensitive to exposure to complex mixtures of petrochemicals in soils of tallgrass prairie habitats contaminated wit ... | 2000 | 15092863 |
| density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm protospirura muricola in laboratory mice. | the spirurid nematode, protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. laboratory mice (bkw) were exposed to varying doses of infective larvae of p. muricola in the range 5 to 40 third-stage larvae (l3), in four separate experiments in which progressively higher doses were utilized. all mice were culled 60 days after infection and a total of ... | 2004 | 15153283 |
| variation in the helminth community structure in spiny mice (acomys dimidiatus) from four montane wadis in the st katherine region of the sinai peninsula in egypt. | we compared helminth communities in spiny mice (acomys dimidiatus) from 4 wadis in the arid montane region of the southern sinai in egypt, in a 4-week period in late summer. total helminth species richness was 14 (8 nematodes, 5 cestodes and 1 acanthocephalan) with 94% of mice carrying at least 1 species and an overall mean species richness of 1.85. the most prevalent parasites were protospirura muricola (47.8 %) and dentostomella kuntzi (46.3%). one larval cestode, joyeuxiella rossicum, represe ... | 2004 | 15471013 |
| anthelmintic action of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent stomach nematode, protospirura muricola, in vitro and in vivo. | cysteine proteinases from the fruit and latex of plants, including papaya, pineapple and fig, were previously shown to have a rapid detrimental effect, in vitro, against the rodent gastrointestinal nematodes, heligmosomoides polygyrus (which is found in the anterior small intestine) and trichuris muris (which resides in the caecum). proteinases in the crude latex of papaya also showed anthelmintic efficacy against both nematodes in vivo. in this paper, we describe the in vitro and in vivo effect ... | 2007 | 17032468 |

| in vitro anthelmintic effects of cysteine proteinases from plants against intestinal helminths of rodents. | infections with gastrointestinal (gi) nematodes are amongst the most prevalent worldwide, especially in tropical climates. control of these infections is primarily through treatment with anthelmintic drugs, but the rapid development of resistance to all the currently available classes of anthelmintic means that alternative treatments are urgently required. cysteine proteinases from plants such as papaya, pineapple and fig are known to be substantially effective against three rodent gi nematodes, ... | 2007 | 18005461 |
