Helminths are worms with many cells. Nematodes (roundworms), cestodes (tapeworms), and trematodes (flatworms) are among the most common helminths that inhabit the human gut. Usually, helminths cannot multiply in the human body. Protozoan parasites that have only one cell can multiply inside the human body. There are four species of intestinal helminthic parasites, also known as geohelminths and...

Background: Plant products, including seeds are an important source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and energy. This study aimed to assess parasitic contaminations in roasted groundnuts, nabag, tasali (watermelon seeds) sold by street vendors Khartoum State, Sudan. Methods: The frequency among all crop products was ...

Abstract Type 2 immune responses at mucosal surfaces are both required to expel helminthic parasites and central allergic disease pathogenesis. Tuft cells regulators of type immunity that instruct downstream innate lymphoid (ILC2s). Although the microbiota known shape responses, impact commensal microbes on regulation tuft cell-dependent remains poorly understood. Here, we find butyrate-produci...

Parasites and parasitic diseases have been prevalent in Iran according to Iranian ancient scholars and physicians' inscriptions dating back to 865-1496. Some protozoan diseases such as malaria and cutaneous leishmaniasis have been introduced by clinical manifestations and helminthic infections by size and morphology of the worms. Scientific studies of Parasitology started in Iran from 1833, fir...

This review deals with waterborne zoonotic helminths, many of which are opportunistic parasites spreading directly from animals to man or man to animals through water that is either ingested or that contains forms capable of skin penetration. Disease severity ranges from being rapidly fatal to low-grade chronic infections that may be asymptomatic for many years. The most significant zoonotic wa...

Parasitic infection caused by helminths and protozoa are the major cause of human disease in most countries of tropical region. It is estimated that about 3.5 billion people are infected with intestinal parasites of whom 450 million are ill. The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection varies not only geographically but also in different region in the same country. The present study is unde...

The WHO estimates that almost 2 billion people are infected with one or more of these soil transmitted helminths, accounting for up to 40% of the global morbidity from infectious diseases, excluding malaria. Out of these, approximately 300 million infections result in severe morbidity, which are associated with the heaviest worm burdens. In recent years much new information has been obtained ab...

Successful elimination of helminthic diseases, as well their further prevention, is possible only under the condition carrying out a complex organizational and economic, veterinary sanitary, special anti-parasitic measures, which must necessarily include disinfestation places where animals are kept, environmental objects. It necessary to establish ability modern chemical agents harm certain typ...
