1
Conclusion: A high prevalence of intestinal helminth infections was observed amongst the study population.
2
Malnutrition associated with intestinal helminth infections may be an important contributory factor for such disabilities.
3
Aim: To investigate the prevalence of intestinal helminth infestation amongst adults living with HIV or AIDS at Mthatha General Hospital.
4
This allele is found at much lower frequency in parts of West Africa where malarial and intestinal helminth infections are endemic.
5
Classical techniques such as FEC are useful for the detection of some intestinal helminth species, but they lack sensitivity for other parasite species.
6
Intestinal helminths induce immune suppressive responses thought to regulate inflammatory diseases including allergies and autoimmune diseases.
7
Intestinal helminth infections occur predominantly in regions where exposure to enteric bacterial pathogens is also common.
8
Background: Intestinal helminths are pathogens for domestic animals and provide a source of potential infection for humans.
9
Objectives: The prevalence of intestinal helminths in domestic dogs was determined in a province-wide survey in Quindío Province, Colombia.
10
Intestinal helminth parasites are potent inducers of T helper type 2 (Th2) response and have a regulatory role, notably on intestinal inflammation.
