Molecular Diagnosis of Vector-Borne Parasitic Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parasitic diseases represent one of the most important issues in public health. More than 20 million people are infected by diseasecausing parasites. Parasites represent a broad group of eukaryotic organisms that can cause severe disease in human populations, including malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, Schistosomiasis and Filariasis. Closely related to these parasitic diseases are geographic, social and economic factors that modulate the prevalence and incidence of these pathologies [1]. The use of technologies based on molecular biology has allowed the scientific community to unravel the disease determinants and the genetic structures of some parasites that provoke disease and cause millions of deaths each year.

Climate Changes and Vector-Borne Diseases With an Emphasis on Parasitic Diseases: A Narrative Review
Background and Objectives: The issue of climate change has currently become a critical concern for the global community as it affects the transmission and spread of a wide range of diseases. This study aims to examine the literature and scientific evidence concerning the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases. Methods: In this review research, a comprehensive search and review of te...
متن کاملControl and Management of Vector-Borne Diseases in Disaster Conditions
Disasters are a set of unexpected situations that occur as a result of natural misadventure or human manipulations. Depending on the type, time, and location of the events, the insect population causing vector-borne diseases is affected, which may eventually lead to widespread epidemics. Parasitic diseases such as malaria, leishmaniosis, arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile enceph...
متن کاملBehind the scene, something else is pulling the strings: emphasizing parasitic manipulation in vector-borne diseases.
Merging the field of epidemiology with those of evolutionary and behavioural ecology can generate considerable fundamental knowledge, as well as help to guide public health policies. An attempt is made here to integrate these disciplines by focusing on parasitic manipulation in vector-borne diseases. Parasitic manipulation is a fascinating strategy of transmission which occurs when a parasite a...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Macroscopic And Microscopic Cysts of Sarcocystis in Sheep in North Khorasan Province, Iran
Sarcocystis is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite which can infect humans and animals. Sheep are intermediate hosts of four Sarcocystis species: Sarcocystis tenella, Sarcocystis gigantea, Sarcocystis arieticanis, and Sarcocystis medusiformision. The purpose of the study was to determine the molecular identification of the macroscopic and microscopic cysts of Sarcocystis in sh...
متن کاملبررسی تأثیر تغییرات اقلیمی بر روی بیماری های انگلی
Introduction: Climate changes are one of the factors associated with human activities for the destruction of the ecosystem. This factor leads to global warming, changing rainfall patterns, increasing the amount and severity of climate factors such as storms, and rising sea levels. Parasites are also an integral part of this ecosystem; therefore, the present study considered the effect of climat...
