Abstract Background Amphibian parasites have been used as models for understanding important issues about host activity and sensitivity to environmental perturbations amphibian decline. With the aim of comparing parasitic fauna in Amietophrynus regularis from natural habitat dumpsites within Lagos metropolis, a total 172 toads were sampled determine occurrence gastrointestinal tract blood paras...

AIM The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites and their relation with socio-demographic data in referred individuals to the medical centers in Tonekabon, Mazandaran province, 2015. BACKGROUND Due to the climatic and ecological conditions in Mazandaran province, determination of the status of intestinal parasites among referred individuals to the medi...

Background Protozoan parasitic diseases are endemic in many countries worldwide especially in developing countries, where infertility is a major burden. These infections can cause diminished or absent ability to conceive (infertility) due to impairment in male and female reproductive systems. MaterialsAndMethods Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Google scholar manuscripts were used to identify the most ...

BACKGROUND Parasitic intestinal infections are still among socioeconomic problems in the world, especially in developing countries like Iran. Food-handlers that directly deal with production and distribution of foods between societies are one of the most important sources to transmit parasitic infections to humans. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic in...

Abstract Food handlers plays a primary role in the transmission of pathogenically important protozoans and helminth parasites. This study was aimed to evaluate prevalence intestinal pathogenic parasites among food around University Malakand, Lower Dir, Pakistan. Stool samples were collected from 642 (all male) cross-sectional January November, 2017. Wet Mount Techniques concentration methods by...

Mechanisms and outcomes of host-parasite interactions during malaria co-infections with gastrointestinal helminths are reasonably understood. In contrast, very little is known about such mechanisms in cases of malaria co-infections with tissue-dwelling parasites. This is lack of knowledge is exacerbated by misdiagnosis, lack of pathognomonic clinical signs and the chronic nature of tissue-dwell...

The adverse effects of parasitic gastrointestinal diseases on poultry production are enormous, especially where birds kept under extensive or semi-intensive systems, but the rarely recognized as primary problems except during necropsy examinations. A two-year longitudinal cohort prospective study was conducted from October 2018 to September 2020 determine prevalence and diagnostic features in V...

BACKGROUND Intestinal parasitism remains a public health challenge in northwestern Mexico even when a twice yearly single dose of albendazole (400 mg) is administered to schoolchildren. We aimed to determine the current prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in schoolchildren of northwestern Mexico. METHODS The Faust and Kato Katz techniques were used to detect and identify the intesti...

Abstract Host-parasite relationships can be directly affected by host’s biological aspects and environmental factors, which influence both the survival of infective forms incidence parasites. However, logistical difficulties in accessing samples for parasitological studies makes Amazon Forest into a poorly known region relation to dynamic parasites wild animals. Here, using 34 red howler monkey...
