Dr Jeba Jesudoss Chelladurai - P-glycoproteins of Toxocara canis: characterization of expression and pharmacological activity

In this talk I will review the progress in providing insight into fundamental aspects of Ascaris physiology and pharmacology and the experimental approaches that have been adopted and developed to

To monitor and evaluate mass drug administration (MDA) programs for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) the diagnostic standard is the microscopic detection of STH specific eggs in stool smears (Kato-

Crystal (Cry) proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis are used as effective insecticides. These pore forming toxins act within the midgut of insects killing them. Cry5B, has been found to target and

This presentation will provide an overview on recent investigations concerning the P-glycoprotein gene family in the equine roundworm Parascaris univalens. As prominent members of the ATP-Binding

Ascaris suum affects feed conversion and weight gain of pigs, but effects on intestinal microbiota remain largely unexplored. Therefore, the intestinal microbiome and metabolome was assessed in pigs

The intestine of nematode parasites is involved in more than digestion, absorption and storage of nutrients. It is involved in vesicular trafficking, ageing, innate immunity, drug metabolism and

Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati are worldwide-distributed zoonotic intestinal helminths with frequent exposure to humans in which they can cause severe disease pathology. Upon infection, initial

Ascariasis affects nearly one billion people, predominantly in the developing world. Ascariasis also affects pigs globally and reduces production yields via decreased growth and condemnation of livers

Ascaris lumbricoides and A. suum are large roundworm parasites that thrives in the small intestine of humans and pigs, respectively. The control of ascariasis is currently completely reliant on

Despite global spread of anthelmintic resistance in livestock, there has been little discussion about the development of AR in poultry. Ascaridia galli has become ubiquitous in layers due to the ban

Ascarid parasites cause a massive burden on people in the developing world and on veterinary animals worldwide. We use a limited arsenal of anthelmintics to treat these infections. As the use of
