Background. The prevalence rates of foodand waterborne parasitic infections in Afghanistan are unknown. Cases of invasive diseases found in Afghans are rarely laboratory-confirmed. Objectives. The aim of the study was to present the current status of intestinal parasitic infections in Afghan inhabitants on the example of patients hospitalized in two healthcare facilities in eastern Afghanistan....

Aims: To study the effects of poultry production systems on prevalence of internal parasites in hens of the Baladi breed in Northern West Bank, Palestine. The study is important to provide basic information essential to design appropriate parasitic control and prevention measures. Methodology: A survey study of internal parasites in Baladi layer hens was conducted in five villages of Northern W...

introduction: parasitic diseases could be one of the common problems of human society in any time in every place. the animals can passed this infection to human as zoonotic disease. cats are one of the most important animals that living and eating long with human in society. therefore feline parasitic zoonosis is threatened human health and cause death and serious disease. for the reason, the p...

The treatment of protozoan parasitic diseases is challenging, and thus identification and analysis of new drug targets is important. Parasites survive within host organisms, and some need intermediate hosts to complete their life cycle. Changing host environment puts stress on parasites, and often adaptation is accompanied by the expression of large amounts of heat shock proteins (Hsps). Among ...

This study investigated the prevalence of parasitic infections among aborigine children at Post Brooke, Kelantan. Eighty-four formalin-fixed specimens and 78 PVA-fixed specimens were obtained. 79.8% and 35.9% of the samples were positive for helminth ova and protozoa respectively. The parasites detected (single plus mixed infections) were A. lumbricoides (50/84, 59.5%), T. trichiura (35/84, 41....

Background: We wanted to investigate the relationship between intestinal parasitic infection and anaemic patients. Methods: stool samples were examined for Protozoa and Helminths infection by routine microscopy and blood samples were performed using the electronic cell counter Coulter. Results: Out of 592 samples 277(46.79%) were positive among them Entamoeba histolytica 80(28%), Ancylostoma du...
