Hypochlorous Acid: A Novel Agent Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces

The Efficacy of Albendazole Mebendazole Combination Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces (an in vitro evaluation)

Anticestodal Activity of Endophytic Pestalotiopsis sp. on Protoscoleces of Hydatid Cyst Echinococcus granulosus

Surgery is still the main treatment in hydatidosis caused by Echinococcus, which is a global health problem in human and animals. So, there is need for some natural protoscolicidal agents for instillation to prevent their reoccurrence at therapeutic doses. In this present investigation, anticestodal activity of one of the endophytic fungi Pestalotiopsis sp. from Neem plant was observed on proto...

Identification of Newly Synthesized Proteins by Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces upon Induction of Strobilation

BACKGROUND The proteins responsible for the key molecular events leading to the structural changes between the developmental stages of Echinococcus granulosus remain unknown. In this work, azidohomoalanine (AHA)-specific labeling was used to identify proteins expressed by E. granulosus protoscoleces (PSCs) upon the induction of strobilar development. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The in vitr...

Strain characterization of Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces of cattle origin using the in vitro vesicular development.

The aim of this work was to characterize the strain of protoscoleces of E. granulosus of cattle origin using the in vitro vesicular development. The in vitro development of these samples was compared to samples of sheep origin determined previously by genetic analyses as common sheep strain (G1). There were similarities between sheep and cattle samples not only in the time of microcysts formati...

Analysis of protoscoleces-specific antigens from Echinococcus granulosus with proteomics combined with Western blot.

OBJECTIVE To establish and optimize the proteomic analysis of protoscoleces-specific antigens from Echinococcus granulosus. To provide a foundation for identifying specific antigens in the soluble proteins of E. granulosus protoscoleces for further research. METHODS Brood capsules were collected aseptically from fertile E. granulosus cysts from the livers of an infected patient. The fertile E...
