Inorganic elements in adult Ternidens deminutus (Nematoda: Strongylidea: Oesophagostominae) from humans and baboons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
The present paper presents the results of an analysis of the inorganic elements detected in Ternidens deminutus from human and baboon hosts. It reports on the presence of Zn, Fe, P, Ca, Cu, Mg, mn and K in the worms and notes especially that worms from humans contained a higher percentage of body weight of Zn than those from baboons, a finding in agreement with an earlier EDAX analysis of the pigment granules of this species.
