EVOLUTION IN CHEMOTHERAPY OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL HELMINTHIASES (review)
نویسنده
چکیده
The attention is focused on the main classes of anthelmintics. Mode of action of the anthelmintics and the anthelmintic resistance, and alternative methods for dehelminthization are discussed. A targeted search for new anthelmintic substances in the series of speculative parental hydrocarbons (benzene, indene, naphthalene, 1 H1-cyclopenta [a]-naphthalene and phenanthrene) is suggested to be prospective on the basis of variation in their structure from the fully unsaturated to saturated forms, including those containing heteroatoms (N, O, S), various functional groups and substituents:

Focusing nucleic acid-based molecular diagnostics and xenomonitoring approaches for human helminthiases amenable to preventive chemotherapy
The current mainstay for control of the four major helminth diseases in humans (lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, soiltransmitted helminthiases and schistosomiasis) is with preventive chemotherapy by mass administration of key anthelminthics. Following the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases in 2012, a roadmap for the elimination and control of these helminthiases by 2020 has ...

This review deals with waterborne zoonotic helminths, many of which are opportunistic parasites spreading directly from animals to man or man to animals through water that is either ingested or that contains forms capable of skin penetration. Disease severity ranges from being rapidly fatal to low-grade chronic infections that may be asymptomatic for many years. The most significant zoonotic wa...

One of the neglected soil and/or food-borne diseases with international public health importance is toxocariasis. Human cases are being increasingly reported from Asian, African, Oceania, European and the American countries. Hence, human toxocariasis (HT) is now considered as a major zoonosis with global and regional importance. In Iran, human and animal toxocariasis is an endemic disease with ...
