Most-cited papers in Parasitology

The global importance of ticks

Frans Jongejan, Gerrit Uilenberg · 1 Oct 2004

Ticks and tick-borne diseases affect animal and human health worldwide and are the cause of significant economic losses. Approximately 10% of the currently known 867 tick species act as vectors of a broad range of pathogens of domestic animals and humans and are also responsible for damage directly due to their feeding behaviour. The most…

Coevolution of hosts and parasites

Roy M. Anderson, Robert M. May · 1 Oct 1982

The coevolution of parasites and their hosts has both general biological interest and practical implications in agricultural, veterinary and medical fields. Surprisingly, most medical, parasitological and ecological texts dismiss the subject with unsupported statements to the effect that ‘successful’ parasite species evolve to be harmless to their hosts. Recently, however, several people have explored theoretical…

The infection of laboratory hosts with cercariae of <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> and the recovery of the adult worms

S. R. Smithers, R. J. Terry · 1 Nov 1965

At present many laboratories throughout the world are studying the chemotherapy and immunology of Schistosoma mansoni in laboratory hosts. Many workers judge the success or failure of their attempts to cure or immunize these hosts from the ratio of the number of living adult worms recovered to the number of infecting cercariae. This ratio is…

Identification, purification and properties of clone-specific glycoprotein antigens constituting the surface coat of<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>

George Cross · 1 Dec 1975

Soluble glycoproteins have been purified from a series of clones of Trypanosoma brucei 427. Each clone yielded a characteristic predominant glycoprotein which induced clone-specific immunity to trypanosome infection in mice. These glycoproteins were shown by specific labelling and enzyme digestion of cells to be the major components of the trypanosome surface coat. Each glycoprotein consisted…

Babesiosis of cattle

Russell E. Bock, Louise A. Jackson, AJ de VOS et al. · 1 Oct 2004

Tick fever or cattle fever (babesiosis) is economically the most important arthropod-borne disease of cattle worldwide with vast areas of Australia, Africa, South and Central America and the United States continuously under threat. Tick fever was the first disease for which transmission by an arthropod to a mammal was implicated at the turn of the…
