[ 1 ] - Molecular detection of Hepatozoon canis in dogs of Ardabil Province, Northwest of Iran
Hepatozoon species are protozoan parasites that infect some animals such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, and carnivores. Previous studies performed on canine hepatozoonosis in Iran have never used molecular techniques for diagnosis of this disease. The main objective of the present study was to detect Hepatozoon canis in the blood of dogs using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and sequenc...
[ 2 ] - تعیین ارتباط گروه‌های خونی با لیشمانیوز احشایی علامت‌دار و بدون علامت ناشی از لیشمانیا اینفانتوم در انسان
چکیده زمینه و هدف: با توجه به این فرضیه که انگل‌های لیشمانیا برای فرار از مکانیسم‌های دفاعی سیستم ایمنی میزبان به وسیله آنتی‌ژن‌های گروه خونی ABO پوشیده شده و یا از این آنتی‌ژن‌ها تقلید می‌کنند، هدف این مطالعه تعیین ارتباط گروه‌های خونی با لیشمانیوز احشایی علامت‌دار و بدون علامت ناشی از لیشمانیا اینفانتوم در انسان بود. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه مقطعی جمعیت مورد مطالعه به2 گروه به این شرح ...
[ 3 ] - Evaluation of synergistic therapeutic effect of shark cartilage extract with artemisinin and glucantime on visceral leishmaniasis in BALB/c mice
Objective(s): Because leishmaniasis is related to the impaired functioning of T-cells, the use of an immunomodulator can increase the efficacy of antileishmanial therapy in visceral leishmaniasis. In this study, we used shark cartilage extract with artemisinin and glucantime against visceral leishmaniasis in BALB/c mice, and evaluated the synergistic therapeutic effect. Materials and Methods: Th...
[ 4 ] - Enhancement effect of Shark Cartilage extract on treatment of Leishmania infantum with Artemisinin and Glucantime and evaluation of killing factors and apoptosis in vitro condition
In this study we examined enhancement effects of Artemisinin plus Glucantime and shark cartilage extract, on promastigotes and amastigotes of L.infantum in in vitro condition.The toxicity of artemisinin, glucantime and shark cartilage extract on the L. infantum promastigotes and amastigote-infected macrophages was evaluated using MTT assay. The role of these drugs in inducing apoptosis in proma...
