Dietary probiotics may enhance gut health by directly competing with pathogenic agents and through immunostimulatory effects. These properties are recognized in the context of bacterial and viral pathogens, but less is known about interactions with eukaryotic pathogens such as parasitic worms (helminths). In this study we investigated whether two probiotic mixtures (comprised of , and [BBE], or LGG and subspecies Bb12 [LB]) could modulate helminth infection kinetics as well as the gut microbiome and intestinal immune responses in pigs infected with the nodular worm .

Background: Nodular Oesophagostomum genus nematodes are a major public health concern in some African regions because they can be lethal to humans. Their relatively high prevalence in people has been described in Uganda recently. While non-human primates also harbor Oesophagostomum spp.

This study focused on Oeosophagostomum sp., and more especially on O. bifurcum, as a parasite that can be lethal to humans and is widespread among humans and monkeys in endemic regions, but has not yet been documented in apes.

Bioassays were developed and applied to test the role of eicosanoids and pH changes in ecdysis of Oesophagostomum dentatum. Exsheathment (80-100%) was achieved by subjecting third-stage larvae (L3) either to chlorine (hypochlorite assay) for 5 min or by incubating them in HCl followed by addition of NaHCO3 (pH-change assay) with subsequent cultivation at 38.5 degrees C/10% CO2 for 1 week.
