Eosinophils typically combat parasitic invaders of the human body larger than bacteria or viruses, such as flukes or parasitic worms (collectively known as helminths). ❋ Unknown (2008)
The impact of climatic factors and host density on the long-term population dynamics of vole helminths. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In their adult form, helminths cannot multiply in humans. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Some consider the helminths to also include the segmented worms (annelids) — the only ones important medically are the leeches. ❋ Unknown (2008)
There are three main groups of helminths (derived from the Greek word for worms) that are human parasites: ❋ Unknown (2008)
Like protozoa, helminths can be either free-living or parasitic in nature. ❋ Unknown (2008)
On and on ... but the point is, I didn't have to attend eight years of medical training, and I never required a multi-million dollar facility to treat helminths in Panama or Shigella in East Africa. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It was stated that the immune response to certain vaccines against diphtheria (throat inflammation), tetanus, cholera and tuberculosis was diminished in people infected with worms, or helminths. ❋ Unknown (2001)
In this way, water is treated by less expensive methods, since treatment requires mainly the removal of coliforms and helminths (e.g. wastewater treatment ponds). ❋ Unknown (2000)
Where losses to helminths are difficult (or expensive) to control, the use of these animals can minimise the need for other control strategies. ❋ Unknown (1999)
To control helminths in livestock farmers use palas ❋ Unknown (1997)
Results showed that the most persistent pathogens were the helminths (intestinal nematodes), particularly the ascaris. ❋ Unknown (1996)
Most helminths have one or more non-infective intermediate development stages with different die-off periods. ❋ Unknown (1996)
Excreta and waste water contain correspondingly high concentrations of excreted pathogens - the bacteria, viruses, protozoa and helminths (worms) that cause diseases in humans. ❋ Unknown (1996)
Lack of adequate sanitation will promote the prevalence of intestinal helminths, such as ❋ Unknown (1996)
The pathogens may be viruses, bacteria, protozoa and certain helminths. ❋ Unknown (1994)
Infection by these helminths is very frequent and prevalences may be greater than 90% in certain populations. ❋ Unknown (1994)
The excreted eggs of this category of helminths pass part of their life-cycle in one or several intermediate aquatic hosts (snails, crustacea, fish), before becoming infectious to man. ❋ Unknown (1994)
The disease-causing organisms (pathogens) include bacteria, bacterial spores, viruses, cysts, protozoa and helminths. ❋ Unknown (1994)
The pathogenic organisms which may be present in water are too numerous and too various to be identified individually in practice (bacteria, protozoa, helminths, etc.). ❋ Unknown (1994)
