Parasitic helminths excrete or secrete (ES) a variety of molecules into their mammalian
hosts. The effects of these ES products on the host's immune responses are reviewed …

The excretions-secretions (ES) of Acanthocheilonema viteae consist mainly of one product,
molecular weight 62 kDa. This molecule is synthesized during the vertebrate phase of the …

The development of antibodies to infective stages of the filarial parasite, Wuchereria
bancrofti, with age of the host human population was studied by immunofluorescence …

Four dogs were immunized against Dirofilaria immitis infection by a series of 3 larval
infections which were each subsequently terminated by ivermectin treatment. Two control …

An unusual antigen composed of tandemly repeated protein units was cloned from the
filarial parasite Dirofilaria immitis. The antigen was initially identified by screening a lambda …

Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years,
transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also …

Adult Brugia malayi nematode parasites possess a range of cuticular and epicuticular
molecules which may be defined by various surface-labelling techniques. We present here …

Onchocerca volvulus is a tissue-dwelling, vector-borne nematode parasite of humans and
the causative agent of onchocerciasis, or 'River Blindness'. Resistance to infection is …

We report here a broad analysis of the excretory/secretory (E/S) products of adult Brugia
malayi, collected by in–vitro cultivation of the parasite. Culture media and conditions were …
