ERDOGMUS, B., YAZICI, B., AKCAN, Y., OZDERE, B.A., KORKMAZ, U. and ALCELIK, A. Latent Fatality Due to Hydatid Cyst Rupture after a Severe Cough Episode. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2005, 205 (3), 293-296 ── Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease caused by Ecinococcus granulosus characterised by cyst formation in various organs. The infestation mostly involves the liver. Hydatid cysts of the liver can ...

BACKGROUND Hydatidosis, as the most important zoonotic parasitic disease in Iran, has posed many health and economic losses. This study was conducted to investigate the demographic characteristics of hydatid cyst surgeries in hospitals of East Azerbaijan Province, Northwest of Iran. METHODS Demographic characteristics of all patients with hydatid cyst surgery in hospitals of the province, dur...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare efficiacy albendazole paromomycine treatments against natural Giardia spp. infection in calves. calves were divided two groups six animals each with similar parasitic loads Giardiaspp. cysts. Albendazole (20 mg/kg) paromomycin (50 administrated orally group A P, respectively, for three consecutive days. efficiacies drugs evaluated by anal...

Three hundred children with hepatomegaly were selected. They were subjected to full clinical and laboratory examinations. Also serum samples were examined to detect IgG using ELISA against SEA, chromatography purified hydatid cyst antigen, commercially available Toxoplasma antigen, partially purified adult Fasciola antigen and second-stage larvae Toxocara canis antigen. IFAT was used to detect ...

A survey was conducted to determine the assemblage and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes and their associations with soil factors in organically farmed fields in Minnesota. A total of 31 soil samples were collected from southeast (SE), 26 samples from southwest (SW), 28 from west-central (WC), and 23 from northwest (NW) Minnesota. The assemblage and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes v...

Summary A microarray was printed containing cDNAs from a library made from cytoplasm microaspirated from the oesophageal gland cell region of parasitic stages of the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines. The array contained both previously described clones (Wang et al. Mol. Plant-Microbe Interact. 2001, 14, 536-544) and uncharacterized cDNAs. Fluorescent probes for array hybridization wer...

Hepatic cysts encompass a spectrum of clinical etiologies but most are benign, occur rarely, and are usually asymptomatic. Symptomatic cysts may present with abdominal pain, hemorrhage, obstructive jaundice, or a consumptive coagulopathy. The optimal surgical management of hepatic cysts varies depending on the size and location of the lesion, but includes laparoscopic cyst fenestration,1 formal...

Cyst formation in the parasitic protist Giardia duodenalis is critical to its transmission. Existing proteomic data quantifies only 17% of coding genes transcribed during encystation and does not cover complete process from trophozoite mature cyst. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we have quantified changes across compared this with published transcriptomic data. We reproducibly identif...
