کاربرد روش های مولکولی در مطالعات اپیدمیولوژی و تاکسونومی عفونت های انگلی
Molecular epidemiology refers to the use of molecular tools in assessing the status of a cycle of a disease in a specific population. Currently, easy, fast, and high performance molecular tools are widely used in identifying parasites in clinical and biological samples. The aim of this study was to review molecular tools for better understanding of parasitic infection in taxonomic and epidemiol...
متن کاملRNA viruses in trypanosomatid parasites: a historical overview
Viruses of trypanosomatids are now being extensively studied because of their diversity and the roles they play in flagellates' biology. Among the most prominent examples are leishmaniaviruses implicated in pathogenesis of Leishmania parasites. Here, we present a historical overview of this field, starting with early reports of virus-like particles on electron microphotographs, and culminating ...

Leishmania is a protozoan parasite responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Protozoan parasites of the genus leishmania are found as promastigotes in the sandfly vector and as amastigotes in mammalian macrophages. Mechanisms controlling stage-regulated gene expression in these organisms are poorly understood. Gene regulation in leishmania, like other trypanosomatid...
متن کاملArginase Activity and Its Effects on Pathogenesis of Leishmania
Leishmaniasis is a tropical parasitic disease that has become a major health challenge in many countries of the world. Not only has not been found any effective vaccine or treatment for the disease eradication, but also the advent of drug resistance is also increasing. Therefore, it is vital to take a precise attention to the physiochemical cycles of the Leishmania parasite and to identify i...
متن کاملIntracellular protozoan parasites of humans: the role of molecular chaperones in development and pathogenesis.
Certain kinetoplastid (Leishmania spp. and Tryapnosoma cruzi) and apicomplexan parasites (Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii) are capable of invading human cells as part of their pathology. These parasites appear to have evolved a relatively expanded or diverse complement of genes encoding molecular chaperones. The gene families encoding heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and heat shock pro...
