High impact information on Gnathostoma

• The phylogeny of vertebrate alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was surveyed in the phylum Chordata, including subphyla, agnatha, and Gnathostoma [1].
• A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is described for the detection of immunoglobulin G antibody to Gnathostoma antigen in the sera of patients with intermittent cutaneous migratory swelling who were suspected of being infected by the tissue nematode Gnathostoma spinigerum [2].
• Molecular cloning of a gene encoding matrix metalloproteinase-like protein from Gnathostoma spinigerum [3].
• The advanced third-stage larvae (aL3) of Gnathostoma spinigerum contain a 24 kDa glycoprotein with diagnostic potential [3].
• Advanced third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum were cultured in RPMI-1640, with various supplements at 37 C under 5% CO2 in air for 300 days [4].

Anatomical context of Gnathostoma

• Stomachs and intestines of 88 adult and 112 young stray dogs were obtained from the Rabies Control Subdivision, Bangkok, and examined especially for the presence of Gnathostoma spinigerum and Toxocara canis [5].

Associations of Gnathostoma with chemical compounds

• Effects of albendazole on Gnathostoma spinigerum in mice [6].
• Experimental treatment of Gnathostoma spinigerum infection in mice with thiabendazole [7].
• Chemotherapy of feline Gnathostoma spinigerum migrating stage with multiple subcutaneous doses of ancylol [8].
• Movability of advanced third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum exposed to albendazole sulphoxide (AlbSO), the active metabolite of albendazole, was determined in vitro [9].
• Early third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 25mM NaHCO3,100 units/ml penicillin G, 100 microg/ml of streptomycin, 5 microg/ml of amphotericin B and 10% foetal calf serum at 37 degrees C under 5% CO2 in air for 60 days [10].

Gene context of Gnathostoma
