Genotyping of human Echinococcus granulosus cyst in Morocco

Chemical Composition of Hydatid Cyst Fluid of Echinococcus granulosus

Chemical Composition of Hydatid Cyst Fluid of Echinococcus granulosus

Sumnuuy The fluid of hydatid cysts occurring in the liver and the lung have been analysed for proteins, carbohydrates, nitrogenow waste products, lipids, electrolytes and nucleic acids contents. The data obtained from the fluid of the liver cysts were compared with those obtained from the lung cysts. Furthermore, the same analyses were carried out to investigate what kind of changes, if any, oc...

Genotyping Echinococcus granulosus from dogs from Western Iran.

Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by the dog tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. In the present study, adults of E. granulosus (n=20) were collected from 71 dogs from Western Iran and were genetically characterized using DNA sequencing of the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and NADH dehydrogenase 1 (nad1). Consensus sequences were obtained for cox1 ...

Biochemical profiles of hydatid cyst fluids of Echinococcus granulosus of human and animal origin in Libya.

A comparative study on the biochemical parameters in hydatid cyst fluids of sheep, goats, camels, cattle and human cystic forms of Echinococcus granulosus has been made in Libya. Quantitative variations in the levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, cholesterol, glucose, urea, creatinine and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma GT) were found in the cystic fluids of different host origins althoug...

Detection of Echinococcus granulosus infection in dogs

Cystic Echinococcosis is an important zoonosis in the sheep rising areas of Iran. To develop a simple and reliable diagnostic method for Echinococcus infection in definitive hosts, E. granulosus polyoclonal antibodies (PolyAbs) were prepared from adult worm in rabbit. A selected PoAb was used for coproantigen detection in faecal samples obtained from animals naturally infected with Echinococcus...
