DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2021.11.002
Abstract: The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) is an endangered and declining otariid species, with a high rate of pup mortality associated with endemic hookworm (Uncinaria sanguinis) infection a suspected contributor to this decline. Injected ivermectin… read more here.

Parasitism Elicits a Stress Response That Allocates Resources for Immune Function in South American Fur Seals (Arctocephalus australis)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Physiological and Biochemical Zoology"
DOI: 10.1086/702960
Abstract: Parasites can cause chronic stress in some animal species, and this type of stress response has been associated with adverse consequences for the host. In order to know whether parasitism elicited a stress response associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jtm/taaa101
Abstract: Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans occurs in endemic areas but also amongst travelers. Although this disease usually presents as a single pruritic raised erythematous track, misleading clinical presentations are not uncommon. This particularly extensive, follicular presentation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tip.2018.2801119
Abstract: As one of the most common human helminths, hookworm is a leading cause of maternal and child morbidity, which seriously threatens human health. Recently, wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has been applied to automatic hookworm detection.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imcb.12536
Abstract: Recent advances in the field of host immunity against parasitic nematodes have revealed the importance of macrophages in trapping tissue migratory larvae. Protective immune mechanisms against the rodent hookworm Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) are mediated, at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0300985816677151
Abstract: Tissues of South American fur seal pups naturally infected with hookworms (Uncinaria sp) were examined. Hookworm infection was found in nearly all pups examined (132/140, 94%), and hookworm enteritis with secondary bacteremia was considered the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010279
Abstract: Background Soil-transmitted helminths affect almost 2 billion people globally. Hookworm species contribute to most of the related morbidity. Hookworms mainly cause anaemia, due to blood loss at the site of the attachment of the adult… read more here.
