Twenty-four specimens of Pantherophis guttatus (Linnaeus) (corn snake) from North Carolina were examined for endoparasites. Fourteen species of helminths (2 cestodes, 10 nematodes, 2 acanthocephalans) and 1 pentastome are reported, representing 14 new host records and 1 new geographic distribution record. No trematodes were found, and the salvaged tapeworms were morphologically unidentifiable. Capillaria colubra, at 63%, was the most prevalent helminth, followed by Strongyloides serpentis and immature physalopterid larvae, each at 29%. Two uncommon finds for North Carolina snakes were the pentastome, Porocephalus crotali, and the trichostrongylid nematode, Oswaldocruzia sp.

Medical research has a long history of investigators who used themselves as experimental subjects in their efforts to solve infectious disease mysteries. These intrepid investigators voluntarily exposed themselves to infectious agents for reasons of expediency as well as ethics and watched themselves while disease developed. The risks of this research could be great. Claude H. Barlow, a missionary surgeon and parasitologist of the early 20th century, used this experimental technique on many occasions during a long career in helminthology. The author, a retired pediatric gastroenterologist and Dr. Barlow's granddaughter, presents a modern look at his research and results.
医学研究有很长的历史，研究人员把自己作为实验对象，努力解开传染病的谜团。出于权宜之计和道德的原因，这些勇敢的研究人员自愿将自己暴露于传染性病原体中，并在疾病发展时观察自己。这项研究的风险可能很大。克劳德·h·巴洛(Claude H. Barlow)是20世纪早期的一位传教士外科医生和寄生虫学家，在他漫长的蠕虫学研究生涯中，他在许多场合使用了这种实验技术。作者是一位退休的儿科胃肠病学家，也是巴洛博士的孙女，从现代的角度来看待他的研究和结果。

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan parasite that may cause devastating conditions in animals, including humans. Dogs are the main host of T. gondii; however, little information is available on the cytokine expression profile in T. gondii–seropositive dogs. The present study aims to evaluate the levels of certain cytokines in serum collected from T. gondii–seropositive stray dogs. With a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, we investigated the presence of antibodies for T. gondii in stray dogs in Hefei, Anhui, P. R. China, and found 26 of those tested were seropositive. For proinflammatory cytokines, higher levels of interleukin (IL)-6 were detected in the sera of T. gondii–seropositive dogs compared with seronegative dogs. Additionally, the concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in seropositive dogs was slightly lower.
