Urinalysis as a simple, non invasive and inexpensive laboratory test remains to be the cornerstone tool in the assessment of the urinary system. It can be easily used for screening of kidney diseases. Previously many screening programs using urinalysis have been carried out using reagent strips testing, and their effectiveness in evaluating kidney disorders with relatively low costs [1,2]. Mass...

Little is known on the diversity and public health significance of Echinococcus species in livestock in Egypt. In this study, 37 individual hydatid cysts were collected from dromedary camels (n=28), sheep (n=7) and buffalos (n=2). DNA was extracted from protoscoleces/germinal layer of individual cysts and amplified by PCR targeting nuclear (actin II) and mitochondrial (COX1 and NAD1) genes. Dir...
