Dr Behdad Tarbiat -Allele frequency shift in the β-tubulin gene of Ascaridia galli in response to r…
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
Dr JB Collins - Lack of canonical beta-tubulin resistance alleles in two benzimidazole-resistant as…
Management of nematode parasites of veterinary importance has become complicated because of the development of anthelmintic resistance. Resistance to benzimidazoles (BZ) is the most well characterized
Frida Martin - Exploring the β-tubulin gene family in a benzimidazole-resistant Parascaris univalen…
Benzimidazole (BZ) resistance is rare in ascarids in contrast to strongyle parasites where this resistance is widespread. In strongyles, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at codons 167, 198 and
Dr Friederike Ebner - Current challenges of vaccine development against Ascaris
For more than half a century, scientists have been looking for prevention strategies against Ascarids, however, we still lack fully effective vaccines to protect both humans and veterinary species.
Dr Peter Geldhof - Natural immunity against Ascaris – What lessons can be learned for vaccine devel…
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
Dr Francisco Evangelista - A bioinformatics approach to the discovery of vaccination targets in Asc…
Background: Ascariasis remains the most prevalent zoonotic helminthic disease affecting both humans and pigs and preventive chemotherapy continues to be the most widespread control method.
Prof Lindy Holden-Dye - Ascaris physiology and pharmacology -what next? and how?
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
Prof. Richard Martin - Calcium imaging in the intestine of Ascaris suum, TRP channels and diethylca…
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
Sara Roose - New insights into the use of serology as a diagnostic tool for Ascaris infections in h…
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-
Dr Andrea Springer - Modulation of the porcine intestinal microbiome and metabolome by Ascaris suum…
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
Prof Erik Anderson - The current scope and future perspectives of Caenorhabditis elegans as a tool …
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
