TL;DR: This genome provides a comprehensive resource to the scientific community and underpins the development of new and urgently needed interventions (drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tests) against ascariasis and other nematodiases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global progress of soil-transmitted helminthiases control in 2020 and World Health Organization targets for 2030
Antonio Montresor,Denise Mupfasoni,Alexei Mikhailov,Pauline Mwinzi,Ana Lucianez,Mohamed Jamsheed,Elkan Gasimov,Supriya Warusavithana,Aya Yajima,Zeno Bisoffi,Dora Buonfrate,Peter Steinmann,Peter Steinmann,Jürg Utzinger,Jürg Utzinger,Bruno Levecke,Johnny Vlaminck,Piet Cools,Jozef Vercruysse,Giuseppe Cringoli,Laura Rinaldi,Brittany Blouin,Theresa W. Gyorkos +22 more
TL;DR: It is shown that STH-attributable morbidity can be averted with evidence-informed program planning, implementation, and monitoring, and caution will still need to be exercised in stopping control programs to avoid any rebound of prevalence and loss of accrued morbidity gains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic performance of a single and duplicate Kato-Katz, Mini-FLOTAC, FECPAKG2 and qPCR for the detection and quantification of soil-transmitted helminths in three endemic countries.

Verweij,Jozef Vercruysse,Bruno Levecke +23 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the diagnostic performance of a single Kato-Katz is underestimated by the community and that diagnostic specific thresholds to classify intensity of infection are warranted for Mini-FLOTAC, FECPAKG2 and qPCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Tools for Onchocerciasis Elimination Programs.
TL;DR: Diagnostic tests that were useful for identifying priority areas for disease prevention may not be adequate tools for elimination programs and how they might be best employed during different stages of onchocerciasis elimination programs is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic Analysis of the Excretory-Secretory Products from Larval Stages of Ascaris suum Reveals High Abundance of Glycosyl Hydrolases
Tao Wang,Katleen Van Steendam,Maarten Dhaenens,Johnny Vlaminck,Dieter Deforce,Aaron R. Jex,Robin B. Gasser,Peter Geldhof +7 more
TL;DR: The present proteomic analysis provides important information on the host-parasite interaction and the biology of the migratory stages of A. suum, and reveals that the degradation of complex carbohydrates forms an essential part of the energy metabolism of this parasite once it establishes in the small intestine.
