  • (20) The differences in the effects of flavins and inhibitors on mammalian and nematode azo- and nitro-reductases might have practical significance in the development of anthelmintic synergists.

Helminth


Definition:

  • (n.) An intestinal worm, or wormlike intestinal parasite; one of the Helminthes.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This preliminary study estimates the occurrence of concurrent helminth infection in Africa and Brazil to determine whether such an approach is justified epidemiologically.
