Abstract:
SUMMARYStrongyloides spp. are common parasites of vertebrates and two species, S. ratti and S. venezuelensis, parasitize rats; there are no known species that naturally infect mice. Strongyloides ratti and S. venezuelensis overlap in their geographical range and in these regions co-infections appear to be common. These species have been widely used as tractable laboratory systems in rats as well as mice. The core biology of these two species is similar, but there are clear differences in aspects of their within-host biology as well as in their free-living generation. Phylogenetic evidence sugg

Abstract:
SUMMARYThe parasitic roundworms Strongyloides stercoralis (in man) and Strongyloides ratti (in rats) employ environmentally controlled XX/XO sex determination with a pair of X chromosomes and two pairs of autosomes. Strongyloides papillosus (in sheep) has only two pairs of chromosomes, one of which combines the genetic material homologous to the S. ratti chromosomes X and I. This species creates males through the elimination of one copy of the portion related to the X chromosome (chromatin diminution). It is not clear which one of these two sex-determining mechanisms is ancestral. We demonstra

Abstract:
SUMMARYStrongyloides venezuelensis is a parasitic nematode that infects rodents. Although Strongyloides species described to date are known to exhibit parthenogenetic reproduction in the parasitic stage of their life cycle and sexual reproduction in the free-living stage, we did not observe any free-living males in S. venezuelensis in our strain, suggesting that the nematode is likely to depend on parthenogenetic reproduction. We confirmed by cytological analysis that S. venezuelensis produces eggs by parthenogenesis during the parasitic stage of its life cycle. Phylogenetic analysis using nea

AbstractCross-resistance between Strongyloides venezuelensis and S. ratti was tested in mice. The mice were immunized with S. ratti and challenged with infective filariform larvae or larvae recovered from the lungs of mice, of a heterologous species, S. venezuelensis. In this system, cross-resistance was expressed to the intestinal stage but not to the migrating stage of the parasite. Anti-interleukin (IL)-5 monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment showed that peripheral blood eosinophilia after infection with both species of the genus Strongyloides was dependent on IL-5.

Abstract:
Abstract The parasitic nematode Strongyloides ratti reproduces by both parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction, but its genetics are poorly understood. Cytological evidence suggests that sex determination is an XX/XO system. To investigate this genetically, we isolated a number of sex-linked DNA markers. One of these markers, Sr-mvP1, was shown to be single copy and present at a higher dose in free-living females than in free-living males. The inheritance of two alleles of Sr-mvP1 by RFLP analysis was consistent with XX female and XO male genotypes. Analysis of the results of sexual reproducti

Abstract:
SUMMARYHosts in nature will often acquire infections by different helminth species over their lifetime. This presents the potential for new infections to be affected (particularly via the host immune response) by a host's history of previous con- or hetero-specific infection. Here we have used an experimental rat model to investigate the consequences of a history of primary infection with either Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Strongyloides venezuelensis or S. ratti on the fitness of, and immunological response to, secondary infections of S. ratti. We found that a history of con-specific, but no

Abstract:
SUMMARYStrongyloides ratti has a complex life-cycle with two adult generations, one free-living and dioecious and one parasitic and female only. The parasitic females reproduce by parthenogenesis, but it is unclear whether this is mitotic or meiotic in nature. This question has been addressed genetically by analysing the progeny of parasitic females that were heterozygous at an actin locus for evidence of allelic segregation. Such progeny were similarly heterozygous showing that segregation had not occurred. It was therefore concluded that reproduction in the parasitic female of S. ratti is fu

AbstractTo determine the role of interleukin-5 (IL-5) and eosinophils in protection against Strongyloides ratti, mice treated with anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody (mAb) were infected with S. ratti larvae.

The numbers of migrating worms in mAb treated mice 36 h after inoculation were higher than those observed in control mice. Intestinal worm numbers in mAb treated mice 5 days after inoculation were higher than those in control mice. These results show that

Abstract:
Strongyloides ratti is a parasitic nematode of rats. The host immune response against S. ratti affects the development of its free-living generation, favouring the development of free-living adult males and females at the expense of directly developing, infective 3rd-stage larvae. However, how the host immune response brings about these developmental effects is not clear. To begin to investigate this, we have determined the effect of non-immune stresses on the development of S. ratti. These non-immune stresses were subcurative doses of the anthelmintic drugs Ivermectin, Dithiazanine iodide and

The mechanism of sex determination and the development control of the life-cycle of the gastro-intestinal parasite, <i>Strongyloides ratti</i> was investigated using a combination of genetic and parasitological techniques. Parasitological analysis investigated the effects of intra- and extra-host factors on the development of the free-living phase of the life cycle. An initial analysis of the distribution of infective stages among host faecal pellets showed that they were significantly overdispersed and well described by the negative binomial distribution.

Causes and consequences of plasticity in parasite life histories were investigated using a gastrointestinal nematode species, <I>Strongyloides ratti</I>, a natural parasite of rats. Empirical work focused on three putative instances of adaptive and non-adaptive plasticity in the life history of <I>S. ratti</I>: host-specificity, facultative sexuality, and immune-dependent maturation time. Host-specificity (the differential success of a parasite on alternative host types) represents (non-adaptive) plasticity in fitness and is commonly viewed as an unavoidable outcome of parasite specialisation
