Human ascariasis has been associated with an increased risk of asthma and other allergic reactions, observations that preclude the use of experimental infections for the treatment of inflammation in favor of the study of the anti-inflammatory properties of specific molecules derived from Ascaris ....
such asalbendazole and mebendazole, are the drugs of choice for treatment of Ascaris infections, regardless of the species of worm. Infections are generally treated for 1–3 days. The drugs are effective and appear to have few side effects. ...

This work paves the way for future fundamental molecular explorations and the design of new methods for the treatment and control of one of the world's most important parasitic nematodes. This focus is now crucial, given the major impact of Ascaris and other soil-transmitted helminths, which ...
– includes discussion on diagnostic methods and their limitations; patterns of transmission within communities, including heterogeneities in infection and reinfection following curative treatment; the geographical distribution of infection, and the role of environmental, climatic and socio-economic co-variables...
Studies of patterns of reinfection with four species of intestinal nematodes(Ascaris, hookworm,TrichurisandEnterobius)in 174 individual patients following chemotherapeutic treatment revealed statistical evidence for predisposition to hea...

Infections in humans can be difficult to confirm, and diagnosis is typically arrived at by exclusion of other known causes of OLM and NLM. There is no effective cure for human infection. Steroids and anthelmintic agents are usually employed for symptomatic treatment, but their efficacy is ...
Possible choices for treatment include daily administration of sulfadimethoxine (50–60 mg/kg PO q24 h for 10–20 days) or trimethoprim sulfa (30 mg/kg PO q8 h for 10 days). b Nematodes Ascarids Roundworms of dogs are most often Toxocara canis; however, Toxascaris leonina can also ...
Should treatment be indicated, Cuellar et al. (1990) reported using mebendazole at 100 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days in experimental studies of visceral larva migrans in rabbits. No ill effects were reported. Visceral larva migrans is an important zoonotic disease of humans. Rabbits infected with...
