Recent advances in the discovery of haem-targeting drugs for malaria and schistosomiasis.
Haem is believed to be the target of some of the historically most important antimalarial drugs, most notably chloroquine. This target is almost ideal as haem is host-derived and the process targeted, haemozoin formation, is a physico-chemical process with no equivalent in the host. The result is that the target remains viable despite resistance to current drugs, which arises from mutations in ...
متن کاملAntioxidant effects of gold nanoparticles on Schistosoma mansoni induced granuloma, in vitro
Objective(s): Schistosomiasis and hepatitis C virus [HCV] co-infection is common among the Egyptian population. Co-infected patients have higher rate of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of gold nanoparticles on granuloma in vitro. Materials and Methods: In the current study, granulocytes were isolated f...
متن کاملMast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice
Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
متن کاملTesticular schistosomiasis mimicking tumour.
Schistosomiasis or bilharziasis is a disease caused by Schistosoma. When infecting men the most common parasites are Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma haematobium. The Schistosoma mansoni is the only endemic parasite in Brazil. We present a case of testicular schistosomiasis simulating malignancy. The case was treated successfully by excisional biopsy and praziquantel t...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Some Schistosoma mansoni Isolates in Saudi Arabia
In this paper, nine geographical isolates of Schistosoma mansoni (three from Egypt, three from Saudi Arabia and 3 from Puerto Rico) were studied at the genotype level by RAPD analysis with two arbitrary primers. The genetic distance was measured by the percentage of unshared bands. The RAPD results showed that the Egyptian strains were closely related to Saudi strains but Puerto Rico strains cl...
