| Almost all of the fatal cases of helminthic infection in the United States are caused by an autoinfecting nematode. |
|
| Chronic inflammation, a common feature of helminthic infections, has been proposed to play a key role in carcinogenesis induced by parasites. |
|
| Their results indicate that the cellular immune responses needed to protect against TB and HIV, are impaired by ascariasis and other helminthic infections. |
|
| Waterborne and helminthic diseases are rampant, as are respiratory and digestive illnesses. |
|
| Strongyloides stercoralis is different from all other soil transmitted helminthic infections because the female worm can reproduce by parthogenesis within the human host. |
|
| This finding corresponds with a recent survey of rural residents near Ulaanbaatar which found that enterobiasis and hydatidosis were the two major helminthic infections in Mongolia. |
|
| The most important helminthic parasites in wastewater are intestinal worms, including the stomach worm, tapeworms, the whipworm, the hookworms, and the threadworm. |
|
| The treatment of strongyloidiasis is difficult because in contrast with other helminthic infections the strongyloides worm burden must be eradicated completely. |
|
| Iron absorption and utilization can also be adversely affected by common states of chronic infections and inflammation due to malaria and multiple helminthic infections. |
|
| Halicephalobiasis is a helminthic infection caused by the genus Halicephalobus, which is a free-living soil saprophyte belonging to the nematode order Rhabditida. |
