Several studies have shown the benefit of the use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of diseases; however, few of them have investigated the effect of probiotics on parasitosis. In this study, the effect of Saccharomyces boulardii on the intensity of infection of mice with toxocariasis was evaluated. The animals were fed with a diet supplemented with S. boulardii for 15 days before inoculation with Toxocara canis eggs and for 2 or 60 days post-inoculation. S. boulardii promoted a reduction of approximately 36% in the average number of recovered T. canis larvae, suggesting that it can be used as an alternative to help control toxocariasis.
几项研究表明，益生菌在疾病的预防和治疗中有一定的益处；然而，很少有研究调查益生菌对寄生虫病的影响。在这项研究中，评估了布拉氏酵母菌对感染旋毛虫病的小鼠感染强度的影响。动物在接种犬弓首蛔虫卵前和接种后 2 天或 60 天，用添加布拉氏酵母菌的饮食喂养 15 天。布拉氏酵母菌可使回收的犬弓首蛔虫幼虫的平均数量减少约 36%，这表明它可用作一种替代方法来帮助控制旋毛虫病。
