- 1From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The dynamic re-emergence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in south Europe and the northward shift to Leishmania-free European countries are well-documented. However, the epidemiology of VL due to Leishmania...
- 2From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Blastocystis is a ubiquitous, globally distributed intestinal protist infecting humans and a wide range of animals. Several studies have shown that Blastocystis is a potentially zoonotic parasite. A 1996...
- 3From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The prevalence of toxoplasmosis in the general population of Guadalajara, Mexico, is around 32%. Toxoplasmosis can cause ocular lesions and slowing of reaction reflexes. Latent toxoplasmosis has been related...
- 4From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Knowledge on the temporal dynamics of host/vector/parasite interactions is a pre-requisite to further address relevant questions in the fields of epidemiology and evolutionary ecology of infectious diseases....
- 5From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria represents one of the most devastating infectious diseases. The lack of an effective vaccine and the emergence of drug resistance make necessary the development of new effective control methods....
- 6From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We investigated the biting patterns and seasonal abundances of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and An. funestus mosquitoes in Kamuli District, Uganda. Methods Hourly indoor and outdoor catches of human biting...
- 7From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mosquito fitness is determined largely by body size and nutritional reserves. Plasmodium infections in the mosquito and resultant transmission of malaria parasites might be compromised by the vector's...
- 8From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual house spraying (IRS) are the main interventions for the control of malaria vectors in Zanzibar. The aim of the present study was to assess...
- 9From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is widespread among populations of Aedes aegypti, the main vector for the dengue virus. Several different point mutations within the voltage-gated sodium channel...
- 10From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that can modulate host responses and presumably host behavior. Host responses as well as pathogenesis vary depending on the parasite strains that are...
- 11From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bartonella henselae is transmitted amongst cats by Ctenocephalides felis and is associated with multiple clinical syndromes in cats and people. In a previous study, monthly spot-on administration of 10%...
- 12From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Strongyloides venezuelensis has been used as a tool and model for strongyloidiasis research. Elimination of S. venezuelensis adult worms from mice has been particularly associated with proliferation and...
- 13From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was once a severe parasitic disease in China. Thanks to the great efforts of integrated control, VL was eliminated in most epidemic areas, except for certain western provinces...
- 14From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The whipworm Trichuris trichiura has been estimated to infect 604 - 795 million people worldwide. The current control strategy against trichuriasis using the benzimidazoles (BZs) albendazole (400 mg) or...
- 15From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Dog communities living in kennels are at high risk of being infected by ticks and fleas. In spite of the indubitable efficacy of several topical ectoparasiticides registered for the control of...
- 16From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Parasitic diseases are important in animal production because they cause high economic losses. Affected animals often exhibit stereotypical behavioral alterations such as anorexia and inactivity, among...
- 17From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Commercial fisheries of lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus have been carried out in Iceland for centuries. Traditionally the most valuable part is the eggs which are harvested for use as a caviar substitute....
- 18From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Publications are often used as a measure of success of research work. Leishmaniasis is considered endemic in 98 countries, most of which are developing. This article describes a bibliometric review of the...
- 19From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common food borne zoonoses worldwide, and can be a serious life-threatening disease in the congenitally infected fetus and in immunosupressed patients. Among food animals,...
- 20From: Parasites & Vectors. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Raising abundance of ticks and tick-borne diseases in Europe is the result of multiple factors including climate changes and human activities. Herein, we investigated the presence and seasonal activity of...
