Bursaphelenchus mucronatus Details: NCBI 6325, gram-negative or unknown [species]

1. Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Trichostrongylus infections can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. These symptoms may vary in severity depending on the extent of the infection and the individual's immune response.

2. Malabsorption and Nutritional Deficiencies: Chronic infections with Trichostrongylus can lead to malabsorption of nutrients from the intestine, resulting in nutritional deficiencies, particularly of iron, vitamin B12, and protein. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, anemia, and impaired growth in children.

3. Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to Trichostrongylus larvae or antigens released by the parasites. Allergic manifestations may include skin rashes, itching, and respiratory symptoms such as coughing and wheezing.

4. Eosinophilia: Infection with Trichostrongylus may trigger an immune response characterized by elevated levels of eosinophils in the blood (eosinophilia). Eosinophilia is a nonspecific marker of parasitic infections and allergic conditions.

5. Hyperinfection Syndrome: In immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or other conditions affecting the immune system, Trichostrongylus infections may lead to hyperinfection syndrome. This condition is characterized by the rapid multiplication of the parasites in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in severe and potentially life-threatening complications such as bowel perforation and dissemination of larvae to other organs.

6. Chronic Health Effects: Chronic Trichostrongylus infections can have long-term health effects, including stunted growth and cognitive impairment in children, as well as decreased work capacity and productivity in adults.
