| [antigenic recognition of rats infected with gnathostoma hispidum: comparison of antigens derived from the advanced third stage larvae of gnathostoma hispidum and gnathostoma doloresi]. | to increase understanding of immune response of host against g. hispidum, antigenic recognition of rodent gnathostomiasis were identified by the immunoblot method after page of the advanced third stage larvae of g. hispidum and g. doloresi. the molecular weight of the major antigenic bands of g. hispidum extracts were 35 kda and 16 kda, and of g. doloresi were 48 kda, 37 kda and 35 kda. of these bands, the 35 kda antigen of g. hispidum and g. doloresi was recognized with the sera of rats infecte ... | 1990 | 2338502 |
| elisa for diagnosis of gnathostomiasis using antigens from gnathostoma doloresi and g. spinigerum. | elisa was developed for the detection of igg antibody in sera obtained from patients in japan and in a foreign country. gnathostoma doloresi adult antigen was less specific than g. spinigerum advanced third-stage larval antigen but their sensitivity were similar. cross reactivity was observed in toxocara canis-, anisakis-, paragonimus westermani- and fasciola-infected sera when g. doloresi adult worms but not g. spinigerum advanced third-stage larvae were used as antigens. | 1989 | 2692193 |
| the first record of a confirmed human case of gnathostoma doloresi infection. | the first case of gnathostoma doloresi infection in a human was found in miyazaki prefecture, japan. a whole length of the parasite was dissected out from biopsied skin and was identified as the third-stage larva of g. doloresi based on the morphological characteristics of the hooklets of the head bulb and also on the number of nuclei in the intestinal epithelial cells of the parasite. | 1989 | 2918438 |
| a study on immunodiagnosis of gnathostomiasis by elisa and double diffusion with special reference to the antigenicity of gnathostoma doloresi. | in order to diagnose gnathostomiasis immunologically, gnathostoma doloresi was evaluated for the antigenicity in comparison with g. hispidum which was recently reported in japan by using micro-elisa. the study revealed that g. doloresi can be used as the alternate source of antigen in the test. a significant increase of specific igg antibodies was seen in 22 (73.3%) out of 30 gnathostomiasis cases. although double diffusion was slightly less sensitive than elisa, it was considered more specific ... | 1987 | 3129795 |

| gnathostomiasis in frog-eating snakes from japan. | gnathostoma doloresi parasitizes the gastric wall of wild (boars) and domestic (pigs) swine (sus scrofa). its larvae cause cutaneous larva migrans in humans. amphibians, reptiles and a freshwater fish are infected with the advanced 3rd stage larvae. prevalence of g. doloresi larvae were surveyed in several snakes, especially in a common frog-eating snake (rhabdophis tigrinus). all species of snakes examined were infected with g. doloresi larvae suggesting that snakes are important reservoir host ... | 1997 | 9391975 |
| gnathostomiasis in wild boars from japan. | gnathostoma doloresi, a nematode parasite producing ulcerative and/or granulomatous lesions in the gastric wall of domestic pigs and wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) throughout southeastern asia, is an important zoonosis causing cutaneous larva migrans in humans. patients infected with g. doloresi have been found yearly in the vicinity of miyazaki prefecture, japan. adult nematodes were found in 31 of 32 wild boars captured at two different geographic locations in the prefecture, a location i ... | 1998 | 9476238 |

| clinical manifestations and immunodiagnosis of gnathostomiasis in culiacan, mexico. | gnathostomiasis was first described in mexico in 1970, and endemic areas have been spreading in six states of this country. in culiacan, sinaloa, 300 cases of cutaneous larva migrans were recorded between january 1992 and december 1995. in addition, a gnathostoma larva was surgically removed from the eye of one patient. cutaneous lesions were observed mainly on the face, neck, arms, and legs. about 70% of the patients showed eosinophilia. a skin biopsy was carried out on 35 patients and the para ... | 1998 | 9886199 |
| human gnathostomiasis caused by gnathostoma doloresi, with particular reference to the parasitological investigation of the causative agent. | gnathostomiasis caused by gnathostoma doloresi tubangui was observed in a 46-year-old japanese man, a clerk, who resided in the fukuoka prefecture of kyushu district, in southern japan. the first symptom noted by the patient was epigastric pain, which occurred 3 days after he had consumed the raw flesh of a brook trout, oncorhynchus masou masou (brevoort), from a trout farm in neighbouring kumamoto prefecture. three days later, he developed creeping eruptions on his trunk. the eruptions spread a ... | 1998 | 9924551 |
