OCCURRENCE OF Blastocystis spp. IN UBERABA, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
Intestinal parasites are a problem for public health all over the world. The infection with Blastocystis, a protozoan of controversial pathogenicity, is one of the most common among them all. In this study, the occurrence of intestinal parasites, with emphasis on Blastocystis, in patients at the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro was investigated in Uberaba (MG) through microscopy of dir...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولA Dilemma for Blastocystis: Asymptomatic or Symptomatic Infection in Humans
Blastocystis presents a great challenge to parasitologists and clinicians to determine whether it is truly an enteropathogen or not and treatment is required if it is observed in symptomatic patients, because even without any treatment patient recovery and improvement has been noted. Blastocystis hominis is the most common protozoan parasite found in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and ...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Blastocystis sp. isolates in Bandar Abbas, South of Iran
Background and Objective: Blastocystis sp. is an anaerobic, single-celled intestinal parasite with global prevalence that is found in the lower digestive tract of humans and many animals, such as numerous types of vertebrates. To date, 17 genotypes have been identified. Nine of these genotypes are common in humans. Organism is found in both healthy and compromised individuals, hence its pathoge...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Human Blastocystis Isolates in Khorramabad, Central Iran
BACKGROUND There are some genetic differences in Blastocystis that show the existence of species or genotypes. One of these genes that help in identifying Blastocystis is SSUrRNA. The aim of this study was assessment of genetic diversity of Blastocystis by PCR with seven pairs of STS primers. METHODS This study was done on 511 stool samples collected from patients referred to the health care ...
