Abstract:
... Hookworms are blood-sucking nematodes that infect dogs, cats, and humans, causing iron-deficiency anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and skin inflammation. Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) is a modified technology based on allele-specific PCR, which is widely used in mutation detection and genotyping. However, no data about ARMS application in hookworm detection. This study aims to e ...

The active site-binding contributes to direct blocking of FXa catalytic activity, but the effect of exosite-binding and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. To investigate whether and how the exosite-bin ...

The inability to passage hookworms through all life stages in vitro means that adult stage hookworms have to be harvested from the gut of their definitive hosts for ex vivo research. This makes study of the human-h ...
