Meningo-encephalomyelitis due to the saprophagous nematode, Micronema deletrix.

First human case of fatal Halicephalobus gingivalis meningoencephalitis in Australia.

Halicephalobus gingivalis (previously Micronema deletrix) is a free-living nematode known to cause opportunistic infections, mainly in horses. Human infections are very rare, but all cases described to date involved fatal meningoencephalitis. Here we report the first case of H. gingivalis infection in an Australian human patient, confirmed by nematode morphology and sequencing of ribosomal DNA....

Detection of Avian Encephalomyelitis Virus in Broiler Chickens in Iran Using RT-PCR and Histopathological Methods

Avian encephalomyelitis is caused by a Tremovirus and primarily affects chickens. The virus can infect young chicks and cause nervous symptoms. Vaccines are used to control the disease in breeders. Recently, the occurrence of the disease is causing concern in the poultry industry. In the present study, we report a case of avian encephalomyelitis in one broiler farm in Kashan (center of Iran). T...

Intraventricular rifampicin in severe tuberculous meningo-encephalitis.

We present a patient acutely ill from severe tuberculous meningo-encephalitis, in whom acute hepatic and renal failure, due to intercurrent septic shock, precluded the administration of full systemic dosage of antituberculous drugs. Daily direct intraventricular administration of 5 mg rifampicin, via a subcutaneous Ommaya reservoir connected to a catheter placed in the right lateral cerebral ve...

تأثیر باکتری Rathayibacter tritici بر تحرک و کارائی لارو سن دو نماتد Anguina tritici در انتقال باکتری عامل خوشه صمغی گندم

The effect of Rathayibacter tritici on the movement of Anguina tritici larva and nematode function as vector of ear rot bacterium was conducted in the laboratory (Agarose plates) and greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the contact of nematode larva with high concentration of bacterium or long duration of nematode-bacteria contact can decrease the movement and the efficiency of nemato...
