Identification of surface accessible proteins in parasitic nematode extracellular vesicles
… lipids, and nucleic acids. EVs are shed by parasitic nematodes into the host environment and have been shown to play a crucial role in establishment and maintenance of chronic infection through their interaction with host cells, these EVs transmit information and play an important …

Molecular characterization of GABA receptor subunits from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode that is controlled by several nematocides which target ion channels. We have identified two H. contortus ion channel genes, Hcounc- 49B and C that encode two GABA-gated chloride channel subunits. Electrophysiological analysis shows that the Hco-UNC-49B …

Oogenesis of Ostertagia circumcincta, a parasitic nematode of the abomasum of sheep
Ostertagia circumcincta, a parasitic nematode of sheep, known collectively with the O. trifuroata, the smaller trichostrongyles and several other worms of the same genus Ostertagia, as the "brown hair worms of sheep”, has held a rather obscure position in the evaluation of the importance of the …

Biological insights into the parasitic nematode Heligmosomoides bakeri from bulk and single-cell transcriptomics
Heligmosomoides bakeri, a parasitic nematode (roundworm) of mice, is closely related to economically important parasites of livestock and the hookworm parasites of humans. As a murine parasite it is more amenable to being maintained and manipulated in a controlled laboratory environment than its …

The Pharmacological Characterization of Hco-UNC-49, a GABA-gated Chloride Channel from the Parasitic Nematode Haemonchus contortus
Compared to mammals, nematodes appear to exhibit a unique GABAergic nervous system. Haemonchus controtus is a parasitic nematode that infects ruminants worldwide. Hco-UNC-49 is a H. contortus GABA-gated chloride channel and is an orthologue to the UNC-49 channel from the free-living nematode …

Isolation and partial characterization of three members of the GGR-1 family in the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
Haemonchus contortus is a blood sucking parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals. These parasites are of significant economic importance as they are estimated to cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year in management. Reliance and overuse of drugs has resulted in …

Characterization of the ACC-1 Family of cys-loop ligand gated ion channels from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus.
Nematode cys-loop ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have been extensively studied for decades because of their role in current anthelmintic action and potential as targets for future drugs. Many families of cys loop receptors have not yet been pharmacologically characterized in parasitic nematodes, …

An examination of interacting residues in the GABA-gated ion channel UNC-49 within the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus
Haemonchus contortus is a blood-feeding parasitic nematode that infects ruminant animals around the world, including those with significant economic importance such as cattle, sheep, and goats. UNC-49 is a GABA-gated chloride channel found to be exclusive to nematodes which could be a viable future …

Host and Seasonal Effects on the Infection Dynamics of Skrjabinoptera Phrynosoma (Ortlepp) Schulz, 1927, a Parasitic Nematode of Horned Lizards
… phrynosoma (Ortlepp) Schulz, 1927 is a common parasitic nematode of horned lizards. The life cycle of S. phrynosoma was described by Lee in 1957, but has received little attention since. The present study addressed effect of season as well as host characteristics on the infection dynamics in …

Differential gene expression and immune regulatory mechanisms in parasite-resistant hair and susceptible wool sheep infected with the parasitic nematode, Haemonchus contortus
Among sheep producers, the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus is a major animal health concern. Caribbean hair sheep are more resistant than conventional wool breeds to this blood-feeding, abomasal parasite. Our objective was to determine differences in the immune response associated with …

Novel Approaches for Anthelmintic and Nematicide Discovery
Parasitic nematodes place an enormous burden on humanity. Nematodes infect over one quarter of the world’s population and cause billions of dollars in livestock and plant crop losses each year, threatening global food security. We rely heavily on the use of anthelmintic medicines and agrochemical …

The function of IL-4Rα expression on key immune cells during experimental Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infections
The lifecycle of the parasitic nematode Nippostrogylus brasiliensis resembles that of the human hookworms Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale and as such is a useful murine model for studying hookworm disease.

Examination of intramolecular interactions between residues of the cys-loop GABA receptor Hco-UNC-49 from Haemonchus contortus
Haemonchus contortus is a parasitic nematode known to infect ruminant animals such as sheep, goats and cattle. Despite several different anthelmintic drugs available to control the spread of this infection, H. contortus has shown resistance to all of them. In order to combat the infection, a novel …
