(1) The prevalence of ascaris (roundworm) infection and the severity of protein-energy malnutrition were the same in the two groups at the onset of the study.
(2) Solid organ transplant recipients can experience serious disease and death from infection due to the parasitic roundworm Strongyloides stercoralis.
(3) One hundred children aged 24-72 months who had history of passing roundworms during the preceding 12 months were compared with 100 children without such history.
(4) For example, in visceral larva migrans, caused by the dog roundworm Toxocara canis, only palliative therapy with systemic anti-inflammatory agents and corticosteroids may be helpful.
(5) There were no significant relationships between number of households per latrine at each community and the prevalence and intensity of infection by hookworms and prevalence of roundworms.
(6) A series of field trials involving some 2000 different animals was conducted to determine the response in liveweight from anthelmintic treatment for roundworms.
(7) School-age children were found to have the highest risk for both roundworm infections and multiple parasitic infections.
(8) Retrograde cholangiography was carried out in 4 small children with suspected roundworm infestation of the biliary tree.
(9) Nematoda (true roundworm) infections include ankylostomiasis, strongyloidiasis, gnathostomiasis, gongylonemiasis, trichinosis, dracunculosis, loaiasis, filariasis, dirofilariasis, and onchocerciasis.
(10) Worm infections were reduced in the treated market-weight pigs: by 96% (P less than 0.05) for the large roundworm (Ascaris suum), 77% (P less than 0.01) for nodular worms (Oesophagostomum spp), and 64% (P less than 0.01) for the intestinal threadworm.
(11) In order to help validate the free-living roundworm, C.e., as a simple model to study the mechanism of general anesthesia, we demonstrated that homologous series of alcohols and alkanes produced a reversible "anesthetic" effect in these worms as in other animals.
(12) Diarrhea, roundworm infestation and measles were not positively correlated with xerophthalmia but whooping cough and tuberculosis were.
(13) Emphasis is placed on the commoner filarial and mermithid nematodes, but several other unusual and rare roundworm parasites are also discussed.
(14) The dominant fly species Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) carried eggs of the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides L., the pinworm Trichuris trichiura (L.) and hookworm on the adult external body surface and in the gut lumen, in association with Bukit Lanjan aborigines.
(15) Mebendazole has been found to be ovicidal for the eggs of roundworm, hookworm, and whipworm with the disadvantages of cost and long duration of therapy; it is also considered the best drug for the treatment of trichuriasis.
(16) Following infection of mice with larvae of the canine roundworm Toxocara canis, there is a persistent pneumonitis.
(17) Vomiting of roundworms during biliary colic occurred in 19 patients (48%) and often led to confirmation of biliary ascariasis by direct visualization of the biliary tree.
(18) In the first patient, cholecystectomy was curative and corroborated the presence of the roundworm.
(19) A case of migration of a gravid female roundworm into the peritoneal cavity is reported.
(20) Analysis of results focused on 3 questions related to prevention: practitioner's frequency of client education regarding zoonotic potential of roundworms and hookworms, pup age at which veterinarian recommends first anthelmintic treatments, and proportion of veterinarians recommending prophylactic drug administration for pups and nursing bitches.
