AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully cryopreserved the third-stage larvae of two hookworm species: Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma tubaeforme, in liquid nitrogen.
- After 30 days of being frozen, the survival rates for A. caninum and A. tubaeforme were recorded at 49.2% and 51.5%, respectively.
- The survival was measured by the motility of the larvae post-thawing.
Article Abstract
Sheathed infective third-stage larvae of Ancylostoma caninum and Ancylostoma tubaeforme were successfully cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. The survival rates, as assessed by motility, were A. caninum 49.2% and A. tubaeforme 51,5% after 30 d of cryopreservation.

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) may improve gastrointestinal health by exerting immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and/or antiparasitic effects. Bark extracts from coniferous tree species have previously been shown to reduce the burden of a range of parasite species in the gastrointestinal tract, with condensed tannins as the potential active compounds. In the present study, the impact of an acetone extract of pine bark () on the resistance, performance and tolerance of genetically diverse mice () was assessed.

Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are widespread, with Ascaris lumbricoides infecting millions globally. Malaria and STH co-infections are common in co-endemic regions. Artemisinin derivatives (ARTs)-artesunate, artemether, and dihydroartemisinin-are standard malaria treatments and are also known to influence the energy metabolism of parasites, tumors, and immune cells.
