In the present study we investigated whether MBL binds to the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chronic Infection

  The muscle larval stage of this parasite establishes a chronic infection in skeletal muscle cells of humans who acquire trichinellosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Larva Migrans

  The question was asked whether the muscle changes that occur due to larva migrans give rise to the autoimmune response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Toxocara Canis

  The presence of antistriational antibodies (aStrAbs) was determined in the following groups of patients: group 1--66 patients with toxocariasis and the presence of anti-Toxocara antibodies, group 2--22 patients suspected of Toxocara canis infection without [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Capillaria Philippinensis

  Abstract Intestinal capillariasis is an emerging helminthic zoonosis caused by Capillaria philippinensis and is frequently fatal if not diagnosed correctly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Trichinella spiralis larvae infective for laboratory mice were collected from muscle biopsies performed at different times (from 1 day to 16 months) following the end of treatment, indicating the failure of mebendazole to kill Trichinella parasites [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

RESULTS: An epidemiological investigation showed that the disease was linked to the consumption of infected pork and/or smoked pork products and affected the household members of four families. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Molting and ecdysis in vitro required entry of the parasite into cells; conditions that prevented entry into cells also prevented ecdysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
