What's the difference between helminthiasis and parasitic?
Helminthiasis
Definition:
(n.) A disease in which worms are present in some part of the body.
Example Sentences:
(1) In two grazing experiments carried out in 1982 and 1983 the prophylactic effect on gastro-intestinal helminthiasis of a single ivermectin treatment of calves 3 weeks after turnout was studied in animals which were turned out early on contaminated pasture and in calves which were turned out late on mown pasture.

(8) The total serum IgE levels of these individuals were not significantly different from those with helminthiasis only, suggesting that there may be some form of repression of helminth-induced non-specific IgE in the presence of atopy; alternatively, allergen-related IgE may be repressed when an individual is worm-infested.
(9) In order of frequency were noted; 144 cases of bilharzia due to Schistosoma haematobium with 75 genito-urinary localisations and 51 appendicular cases, 31 cases of onchocercosis with a majority of subcutaneous nodules (17), 17 cases of digestive helminthiasis all locate in the ileo-caecal-appendix and discovered during systematic appendicular exploration, 13 cases of colitic or recto-sigmoidal amebiasis.
(10) Helminthiasis treatment is based on chemotherapy with praziquantel or oxamniquine.
(11) Alternate grazing of horses and sheep as a control measure for gastrointestinal helminthiasis was studied in three grazing experiments in 1981, 1982 and 1983.

(13) Children with an increased number of stigmas (more than 7 in one child) are thought to be at high risk only of somatic pathology but also of the given helminthiasis and should be urgently examined for enterobiasis.
(14) The individuals of the first group were parasitologically confirmed trichinellosis patients, while those of group 2 were patients with other helminthiasis and group 3 were healthy, parasite-free individuals.
(15) For unknown epidemiological factors, this helminthiasis is rare in man in western Africa.
(16) The diagnosis of human infection by Toxocara canis relies heavily upon serological tests, the specificity of which can be inadequate in regions of endemic helminthiasis.
(17) A slight increase above the average was found for Entamoeba coli in diagnoses of giardiasis and helminthiasis.
(18) Helminthiasis: In addition to the anthelminthic treatment, sanitary prophylactic measures should be taken.
(19) The paper describes a case of hymenolepis diminuta, a relatively uncommon helminthiasis in man.
(20) It is suggested that an economical approach to detect helminthiasis and atopy in cases of eosinophilia is adopted using the methods employed here, with skin prick tests replacing the radioallergosorbent test.
Parasitic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Parasitical
Example Sentences:
(1) The rise of malaria despite of control measures involves several factors: the house spraying is no more accepted by a large percentage of house holders and the alternative larviciding has only a limited efficacy; the houses of American Indians have no walls to be sprayed; there is a continuous introduction of parasites by migrants.
(2) However, ticks, which failed to finish their feeding and represent a disproportionately great part of the whole parasite's population, die together with them and the parasitic system quickly restores its stability.
(3) One thousand nineteen Wyoming ground squirrels (Spermophilus elegans elegans) from 4 populations in southern Wyoming were examined for intestinal parasites.
(4) Ten or 4% of the administered parasites passed in the feces during the 3 days following the first or second infection, but 32% after the third infection.
(5) However, the degree of inhibition of parasite replication after exposure to rMu-GM-CSF was not as great as after treatment with rMu-IFN-gamma, and much more rMu-GM-CSF than rMu-IFN-gamma was required to achieve an equivalent antimicrobial effect.
(6) Filipin-induced lesions in glutaraldehyde-fixed parasites indicated higher levels of beta-hydroxysterols in the amastigote than in the promastigote plasma membrane, and in the promastigote flagellar membrane than in the body membrane.
(7) The propionyl-CoA condensing enzyme which catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of 2-methylbutyrate and 2-methylvalerate by Ascaris muscle appears to exist in at least three forms in the mitochondria of this parasitic nematode.
(8) The time to recovery of full consciousness, time to parasite clearance, and mortality were examined with Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis.
(9) In addition, a redistribution of cellular controls of the host reaction to parasites may act as a complementary mechanism for establishment of the viable equilibrium between host and parasite.
(10) symptoms, bowel habits, normal physical examination, absence of intestinal infections or parasites) b) physiopathological evaluation (hyperactivity of the distal colon, hypersensitivity to stimuli, stress), and c) physiological evaluation of the patient.
(11) Parasite antigen was present in sera from all infected animals before treatment.
(12) We have found intrathrombocytic parasites of Plasmodium vivax (in 10% of men naturally infected) and P berghei (in 53% of mice experimentally infected); these were both merozoites and trophozoites.
(13) they are shown to inhibit in vitro the release of iron from acidified host cell cytosol, consisting mostly of hemoglobin, a process that could provide this trace element to the parasite.
(14) Phagocytosis of normal or parasitized red cells was not observed.
(15) A radical rearrangement of the organism occurred gradually: initially oval in shape, the parasite became round, then elongated, flattened, and underwent cytokinesis.
(16) The parasites were highly aggregated within the study community, with most people harbouring low burdens while a few individuals harboured very heavy burdens.
(17) Discovery of this vectorhost-parasite system in the Americas, and the localization of promastigote flagellates (leptomonads) in the hindgut of the vector, should assist in clarifying interpretative problems associated with infection of wild-caught flies in studies on leishmaniasis in the Americas and elsewhere.
(18) At the external wall of the host's gut, parasitic cysts of this nematode with immature stages inside were also observed.
(19) All three parasite lines required sialic acid for optimal invasion, but Thai-2 parasites cultured in Tn erythrocytes invaded neuraminidase-treated erythrocytes with 45% efficiency whereas Camp parasites invaded neuraminidase-treated erythrocytes with less than 10% efficiency.
(20) Pretreatment of G6PD(+) cells with ascorbate caused a slight enhancement in parasite development, while in G6PD(-) cells a suppressive effect on the plasmodia was demonstrated.
