Cloning and characterisation of genes encoding two transforming growth factor-beta-like ligands from the hookworm, Ancylostoma caninum

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR PARASITOLOGY, 35(14), 1477–1487.

By: T. Freitas n & P. Arasu n

author keywords: Ancylostoma caninum; TGF-beta; dbl-1; daf-7; development
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Ancylostoma / genetics; Animals; Base Sequence; Caenorhabditis elegans Proteins / genetics; Cloning, Molecular; Fluorescent Antibody Technique; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Larva; Molecular Sequence Data; Receptors, Transforming Growth Factor beta / analysis; Receptors, Transforming Growth Factor beta / genetics; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Sequence Homology
TL;DR: Immunofluorescent studies showed that Ac-daf-7 is expressed in the anterior region of the iL3 similar to Ce-dft-7, which is localised to the ASI chemosensory neurons, which may be unique to parasitic nematodes that have an obligate requirement to undergo developmental arrest.

In vitro reactivation of Ancylostoma caninum tissue-arrested third-stage larvae by transforming growth factor-beta

JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY, 87(4), 733–738.

By: P. Arasu n

TL;DR: The hypothesis that during pregnancy, host-derived TGF-β can signal a parasite-encoded receptor to trigger the reactivation of tissue-arrested larvae is supported. (via Semantic Scholar)

Antibody responses in pregnancy-induced transmammary transmission of Ancylostoma caninum hookworm larvae

VETERINARY IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOPATHOLOGY, 70(3-4), 289–298.

By: P. Arasu* & A. Heller

author keywords: Ancylostoma caninum; mouse; antibody; immunosuppression; transmammary transfer

TL;DR: To determine if the suppression of parasite-specific antibody responses during pregnancy facilitates the reactivation and transmammary transfer of hookworm larvae, a murine model of A. caninum infection was used and it was confirmed that larval transfer to the mouse pups only occurred during the post-partum lactational period.

By: J. Howell n, J. Luginbuhl n, M. Grice n, K. Anderson n, P. Arasu n & . Flowers n

author keywords: gastrointestinal parasites; nitrogen fertilizers; bleach; limestone
TL;DR: Gastrointestinal parasites are considered to be one of the most prominent health problems of small ruminants and additional concerns are associated with parasite resistance to traditional anthelmintics and drug withdrawal times. (via Semantic Scholar)

Developmental arrest and pregnancy-induced transmammary transmission of Ancylostoma caninum larvae in the murine model

JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY, 85(5), 779–784.

By: P. Arasu n & D. Kwak*

TL;DR: Significant numbers of larvae were not detected in mammary tissue during the periparturient or postpartum lactational periods although about 8% of a dam's reservoir of tissue larvae was transferred to her nursing pups, which suggests that larvae reaching the mammary glands are rapidly transmitted through the milk sinuses, as was documented by histopathological analyses.

TL;DR: It is found that neither recommended nor elevated doses of commonly used anthelmintics were effective in eliminating latent infections with tissue-arrested hookworm larvae at the accepted standard of greater than 90% reduction in parasite burden. (via Semantic Scholar)
