1. Gnathostomiasis: an emerging infectious disease relevant to all dermatologists
Abstract: Gnathostomiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the third larval stage of nematodes of the genus Gnathostoma. The disease is endemic in some countries around the world. In the American continent, the majority of cases is concentrated in Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. However, due to increasing traveling either at the intercontinental or intracontine

2. Nematoide Gnathostomatidae parasito de Colomesus psittacus (Osteichthyes, Tetraodontiformes) na Ilha de Marajó, Amazônia Brasileira
Resumo O gênero Gnasthostoma é composto por 17 espécies, sendo reportado o caráter zoonótico para algumas. Este trabalho descreve a presença de nematoide da família Gnathostomatidae, parasito do trato digestório de Colomesus psittacus, na Ilha de Marajó, Amazônia oriental brasileira, transportados para o laboratório, necropsiados os helmintos colh

3. Specificity of immunoblotting analyses in eosinophilic meningitis
Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Gnathostoma spinigerum are the two most common causative parasites of eosinophilic meningitis (EOM). Serological tests are helpful tools for confirming the identity of the pathogen. Recent reports determined the specificity of such tests by using normal healthy controls. There have been limited studies done to rule out the cro

4. Gnatostomíase no Brasil: relato de caso
A gnatostomíase é parasitose endêmica em alguns países asiáticos, causada pela ingestão da larva do nematódio Gnathostoma sp, que pode ocorrer no consumo de carne crua de peixes de água doce. Atinge vários órgãos, entre eles a pele, manifestando-se frequentemente como lesão subcutânea migratória. Países da América Central e do Sul como Méxic

5. Diversidade e potencial zoonótico de parasitos de Didelphis albiventris Lund, 1841 (Marsupialia: Didelphidae)
Didelphis albiventris, gambá-de-orelha-branca, é um marsupial de hábitos crepusculares e noturnos que se alimenta de frutos, insetos, pequenos répteis e anfíbios, filhotes de aves e pequenos mamíferos. Com a destruição de seu “habitat” natural devido às queimadas e desmatamentos, esses animais têm-se aproximado, cada vez mais, das regiões peri

6. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of antibody to Gnathostoma antigen in patients with intermittent cutaneous migratory swelling.
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. The antigen used was a crude somatic aqueous extract of the third larval sta

7. Eosinophilic meningitis and radiculomyelitis in Thailand, caused by CNS invasion of Gnathostoma spinigerum and Angiostrongylus cantonensis.
During the 6 year period from January 1980 to December 1985 44 patients with infection of the central nervous system by Gnathostoma spinigerum or Angiostrongylus cantonensis were admitted to the Division of Neurology, Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. In 16 patients the diagnosis could be confirmed serologically by means of ELISA techniques. In gnatho

8. Intracameral gnathostomiasis: a cause of anterior uveitis and secondary glaucoma.
Recognition of parasitic diseases by Western physicians is becoming increasingly important because of increased international travel and the recent influx of refugees from South east Asia. We describe two patients who presented with acute anterior uveitis and secondary glaucoma caused by intracameral third stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum. The parasite

9. Gnathostomiasis, Another Emerging Imported Disease
Gnathostomiasis is a food-borne zoonosis caused by the late-third stage larvae of Gnathostoma spp. It is being seen with increasing frequency in countries where it is not endemic and should be regarded as another emerging imported disease. Previously, its foci of endemicity have been confined to Southeast Asia and Central and South America, but its geographi
