| first molecular identification and genetic diversity of strongyloides stercoralis and strongyloides fuelleborni in human communities having contact with long-tailed macaques in thailand. | the parasitic nematodes, strongyloides stercoralis and strongyloides fuelleborni, can infect humans and non-human primates. we amplified and sequenced a portion of the 18s ribosomal rna gene (rrna) and of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene of strongyloides from humans in the study area in thailand, where people have frequent contact with long-tailed macaques. fresh stool samples were obtained from 213 people and were examined using the agar plate culture method. the ove ... | 2017 | 28500375 |
| pilot study to assess the efficacy of ivermectin and fenbendazole for treating captive-born olive baboons (papio anubis) coinfected with strongyloides fülleborni and trichuris trichiura. | in this study, we evaluated the efficacy of combined treatment with ivermectin and fenbendazole (ivm-fbz) for treating captive olive baboons (papio anubis) infected with strongyloides fülleborni and trichuris trichiura, 2 common nematode parasites of these nhp. infected baboons were treated for a total of 9 wk with ivermectin (400 μg/kg im twice weekly) and fenbendazole (50 mg/kg po once daily for 3 d; 3 rounds of treatment, 21 d apart). five baboons naturally infected with both s. fülleborni an ... | 2017 | 28905715 |
