Intestinal contents were sampled from a spontaneously enhanced mummy the Sepulcher of Priests Piraino Mother Church in Province Messina, Sicily. This adult male mummy, 1, is an unidentified religious dignitary dating late-18th to mid-19th centuries. Immunological and molecular diagnostics used test for common clinically significant parasites. A morphological diagnosis Trichuris trichiura (whipw...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis school children four districts Malakand region, Four hundred faecal specimens were screened from May 2014 July 2017 using normal saline and Lugol Iodine solution. Twenty three (5.75%) individuals found i...

The most common helminthic infection occurring worldwide is considered to be Enterobius Vermicularis commonly known as pinworm or thread worm mainly in GIT. [1,2]. The incidence of Enterobius Vermicularis infection is predominantly seen in children which is around 4% to 28% and is rarely seen in adults [3,4]. The most common route of infection is through feco-oral route. Enterobius Vermicularis...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is well recognized in developed countries and is generally among the differential diagnoses of young patients presenting with refractory diarrhea once other more common etiologies have been excluded. Pinworm infections, on the other hand, are not as common among adults in the United States. CASE REPORT Based on computed tomography features, a 24-yea...

Many chemicals used as medical treatments can cause chemical burns as an untoward side effect. One of such chemicals is potassium permanganate. It is a caustic chemical used as a disinfectant. The most common sites of burn by potassium permanganate are exposed sites like the face and hands. Chemical burns in the perianal and anal region are rare in clinical practice and even sparser in the pedi...

The design and synthesis of a series of methyl 5(6)-substituted benzimidazole-2-carbamates as possible anthelmintics have been described. A rational analysis of the structural parameters which segregate the activity of resulting benzimidazole-2-carbamates against enteric and tissue dwelling helminths is presented. The influence of single and multiple spacers, which link the pharmacophores at 5(...

Two helminth communities, comprising seven species in Ochotona princeps and five in O. collaris, were studied for site specificity and interspecific interactions. There were no cases of competitive exclusion, but four species pairs were found concurrently more often than by chance, possibly due to similarities in life cycles. One case of interactive site segregation was demonstrated. There was ...
