| eradication of the pinworm syphacia obvelata from an animal unit by anthelmintic therapy. | thiabendazole incorporated in the diet at a rate of 0.1%, fed to all animals over a period of 3 months, successfully eliminated the parasite from the colony. samples taken 12 months after treatment were still negative for the parasite. during the period between the discovery of the organism and the preparation of the diet a course of piperazine citrate was administered at a rate of 2 g/litre in the drinking water in order to limit the spread of the infection. | 1979 | 158107 |
| the interaction between entamoeba histolytica and syphacia obvelata infection in mice. | mice naturally infected with syphacia obvelata were challenged intracaecally with entamoeba histolytica trophozoites. they showed a higher level of amoebic infection than mice without worms. mice with the heaviest syphacia infection were the most susceptible to amoebic infection. it appears that a concomitant infection with helminthic parasites residing in the caecum alters the outcome of an amoebic infection. | 1978 | 216325 |
| effects of aspiculuris tetraptera dn syphacia obvelata on exploratory behavior of an inbred mouse strain. | sixty c57bl/6 male mice were treated with an anthelmintic for 2 weeks to free them of pinworms. they were then divided into six groups. two groups were infected with aspiculuris tetraptera, two groups with syphacia obvelata, and two groups were left uninfected as controls. at intervals of 2 and 4 weeks after infection, the mice were tested for exploratory activity in a barriered field apparatus. following the second test, each mouse was necropsied to determine presence of nematodes and to estima ... | 1977 | 557704 |
| control of oxyurids in mice using thiabendazole. | mice with a natural infection of syphacia obvelata and aspiculuris tetraptera were continuously medicated with 0.1% thiabendazole in the diet. no oxyurids were found in test animals after 24 days of treatment though control animals remained infected. growth rates in treated animals increased. 2 generations of mice were studied and, although overall production fell by 1.45%, the use of this drug in total eradication of the worms is suggested. | 1978 | 569226 |
| the influence of filter top caging on the transmission of pinworm infections in mice. | the effectiveness of filter top cages in preventing infection of mice with pinworms, aspiculuris tetraptera and syphacia obvelata, was investigated by introducing mice from a pathogen-free colony into a colony in which both types of pinworms were enzootic. half of the pathogen-free mice were maintained in filter top cages, while the remainder were held in similar cages without filters. all mice thus introduced were killed and examined after 3-8 week exposure periods. no pinworm were recovered fr ... | 1976 | 988434 |

| phenotypic differences on the outcome of the host-parasite relationship: behavior of mice of the cbi stock in natural and experimental infections. | investigation of defined animal models may help to elucidate the role of the host genetic background in the development and establishment of a parasitic infection. four lines of mice obtained by disruptive selection for body conformation (cbi+, cbi-, cbi/c and cbi/l) and the unselected control line cbi were examined in their response to different parasites to assess whether these distinct genotypes showed differences in their resistance to natural and experimental parasitosis. protozoans (tricho ... | 2008 | 18304738 |
| il-4/il-13 independent goblet cell hyperplasia in experimental helminth infections. | intestinal mucus production by hyperplasic goblet cells is a striking pathological feature of many parasitic helminth infections and is related to intestinal protection and worm expulsion. induction of goblet cell hyperplasia is associated with th2 immune responses, which in helminth infections are controlled primarily by il-13, and also il-4. in the study presented here we examine the goblet cell hyperplasic response to three experimental parasitic helminth infections; namely nippostrongylus br ... | 2008 | 18373844 |
| characterization of rdna sequences from syphacia obvelata, syphacia muris, and aspiculuris tetraptera and development of a pcr-based method for identification. | to differentiate the morphologically similar pinworms of the common laboratory rodents, such as syphacia obvelata and syphacia muris, we amplified and sequenced the region spanning the internal transcribed spacer 1 (its-1), 5.8s gene, and its-2 of the ribosomal dna followed by designing of species-specific primers for future use in the identification of the worms. it was observed that s. obvelata, s. muris and aspiculuris tetraptera can be differentiated from each other based on their rdna seque ... | 2008 | 18374491 |

| experimental eradication of pinworms (syphacia obvelata and aspiculuris tetraptera) from mice colonies using ivermectin. | a spray administration of ivermectin was evaluated for the treatment of pinworm infection in mice. in this study, a spray of 0.1% ivermectin injectable solution over the entire cage once a week, for three consecutive weeks (one cycle treatment), was effective in eradicating both syphacia obvelata and aspiculuris tetraptera from mice under experimental conditions. in addition, no acute toxicity was observed in 105 mothers or 687 neonates treated with ivermectin, indicating that ivermectin does no ... | 2002 | 12221930 |
| role of major histocompatibility complex class ii in resistance of mice to naturally acquired infection with syphacia obvelata. | genetics plays a substantial role in host resistance in many host-parasite interactions. we examined the prevalence of naturally acquired infection with syphacia obvelata in a number of mouse strains housed in a non-barrier facility. these mice, which included cross-bred and congenic, inbred strains on various genetic backgrounds, differ in the loci for the immune function genes--major histocompatibility complex class ii (mhcii), toll-like receptor 4 (tlr4), and solute carrier family 11, member ... | 2003 | 12625509 |
| syphacia obvelata infections and reproduction of male domestic mice mus musculus domesticus on a sub-antarctic island. | the reproductive activity of feral male mice on an island of the sub-antarctic kerguelen archipelago was influenced by biological factors depending on periods within the breeding season. after having controlled host reproductive activity indices for body size, i.e. age, and body condition effects, syphacia obvelata prevalence did not vary with host reproductive status or age either during the beginning or the middle-end of the reproductive season. considering the beginning of the breeding season ... | 2003 | 12895284 |

| detection and clearance of syphacia obvelata infection in swiss webster and athymic nude mice. | our routine health-surveillance program is based on use of the swiss webster mouse, with sentinels submitted for testing every 7 weeks. athymic nude (nu/nu) mice are used as an adjunct method to detect pinworm infections. the premise for the use of the nude mouse was based on research that revealed the thymus as necessary to confer resistance to pinworm infections. in light of this finding, it was inferred that an athymic mouse would be more susceptible to pinworm infections than a euthymic mous ... | 2004 | 15174810 |
| parasitic nematodes of the genus syphacia seurat, 1916 infecting muridae in the british isles, and the peculiar case of syphacia frederici. | syphacia stroma (von linstow, 1884) morgan, 1932 and syphacia frederici roman, 1945 are oxyurid nematodes that parasitize two murid rodents, apodemus sylvaticus and apodemus flavicollis, on the european mainland. only s. stroma has been recorded previously in apodemus spp. from the british isles. despite the paucity of earlier reports, we identified s. frederici in four disparate british sites, two in nottinghamshire, one each in berkshire and anglesey, wales. identification was based on their s ... | 2017 | 28831960 |
| infection with pinworms (syphacia obvelata) does not affect the plasma corticosterone concentration in male, nonpregnant female, and pregnant female rats. | pinworm infections are common in rodent colonies, but the effect of pinworms on the host hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis had not been investigated. other parasites stimulate, inhibit, or have no effect on the hpa axis of their hosts. we studied the effect of syphacia obvelata infection on plasma corticosterone concentrations in sprague-dawley rats. blood samples were taken from male, female, and pregnant rats during an active infection, when all 21 rats examined harbored worms, and aft ... | 2004 | 15174818 |
