Disease relevance of Ascaridia

  • At a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight, pyrantel tartrate was 18-51, 99-63, 100 and 100 per cent effective in chickens treated at 10, 20, 30 and 40 days respectively after infection with Ascaridia galli [1].
 

High impact information on Ascaridia

  • A soluble GSH transferase of the parasitic nematode Ascaridia galli has now been purified which shows high activity and specificity in the GSH-dependent isomerization of PGH to PGE, comparable to that of the rat spleen enzyme in its isomerization of PGH to PGD, and similarly stimulates the activity of prostaglandin H synthase [2].
  • Purification and characterization of prostaglandin-H E-isomerase, a sigma-class glutathione S-transferase, from Ascaridia galli [2].
  • 1. Respiration in the parasitic nematode worm Ascaridia galli was inhibited at O2 concentrations in excess of 255 microM, and an apparent Km,O2 of 174 microM was determined [3].
  • A comparison of the interaction of anthelmintic benzimidazoles with tubulin isolated from mammalian tissue and the parasitic nematode Ascaridia galli [4].
  • ACh, AF3 and AF4 were also found to contract Ascaridia galli somatic muscle with EC50S of 13 +/- 3 microM, 721 +/- 236 nM and 371 +/- 177 nM, respectively (n = 7) [5].
