Influence of parasite load on the diagnosis and occurrence of eosinophilia in alcoholic patients infected with Strongyloides stercoralis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Helminthology"
DOI: 10.1017/s0022149x17001110
Abstract: Abstract Alcoholic patients are more susceptible to Strongyloides stercoralis infection. The chronic use of alcohol raises the levels of endogenous corticosteroids, which regulates the development of larvae and stimulates the differentiation of rhabditiform into infective… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182020000062
Abstract: Abstract Factors such as the particular combination of parasite–mosquito species, their co-evolutionary history and the host's parasite load greatly affect parasite transmission. However, the importance of these factors in the epidemiology of mosquito-borne parasites, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-49344-1
Abstract: In canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL), splenic white pulp (SWP) disorganization has been associated with disease progression, reduced cytokine and chemokine expression and failure to control the parasite load. This profile is compatible with the cellular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.12.28.522076
Abstract: In the fight against malaria, transmission blocking interventions (TBIs) are promising approaches to complement conventional tools. They aim to prevent the infection of the vectors and thereby reduce the subsequent exposure of a human population… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2018-0145
Abstract: Understanding how habitat type and deterioration may affect parasitism is important in assessing the effects of human-induced environmental change on host–parasite dynamics. In this study, we examined inter-population differences in parasite load in the Mediterranean… read more here.

Ability of real-time PCR for differential diagnosis of various forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis: a comparative study with histopathology
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "BMC Research Notes"
DOI: 10.1186/s13104-019-4666-5
Abstract: ObjectiveHistopathological studies suggest that parasite load is different between acute and chronic forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, highly sensitive detection methods are still needed to distinguish different forms of leishmaniasis. In the present study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.200675
Abstract: ABSTRACT Sperm performance is an important component of male reproductive success. However, sperm production is costly and males need to optimize their investment in sperm quality versus the somatic traits involved in mating success, e.g.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0011231
Abstract: Background The potential reservoirs of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in South Asia include asymptomatic and relapsed cases of VL, along with patients with post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). Accordingly, accurate estimation of their parasite load is… read more here.
