Uveitis is a chronic inflammatory disease. The etiopathogenesis of various uveitic conditions are varied. The distinct established entity called uveitis can be further broken up into a myriad subtypes. Several modalities of classifications exist with regard to anatomy, duration, etiology and pathology. However a more crucial differentiation ought to be made between infectious and non-infectious...

Acute sarcocystosis was diagnosed in an adult female wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) that was collected from Early County (Georgia, USA) in February of 1998. Marked inflammatory lesions were seen in the heart, lung, and liver and were associated with protozoal schizonts and merozoites. The organisms were identified as Sarcocystis sp. (Acomplexa: Sarcocystidae) based on structure and antigenic...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Although many infections can be transmitted through blood transfusion, it is not possible to carry out screening tests for all. Among the protozoal diseases transmitted by blood transfusion in India the most important is malaria, followed by toxoplasmosis. Screening for malaria is mandatory in India. We evaluated the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in healthy adult p...

are only a few nucleated cells in such a pulp, and if the haemoglobin be washed out by fixation in alcohol the tissue looks rarefied under the microscope. Such changes as these are entirely different from those to be discussed in this paper, and the splenomegaly of protozoal diseases will not be considered. In practically all acute pyogenic infections, but especially in septicaemias, the spleen...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and to identify risk factors associated with Giardia lamblia infection in diarrheic children hospitalized for diarrhea in Goiânia, State of Goiás, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted and a comprehensive questionnaire was administered to the child's primary custodian. Fixed effects logistic regression was used to determine the...

Consumption of pine needles tends to cause abortion in domestic cattle but not in elk. The present study was undertaken to determine whether this difference was associated with the rumen microbial population. After emptying the rumen, pregnant cattle were inoculated with either elk or cattle rumen contents. For those cows fed the pine needle diet, there was no difference in abortion rate betwee...

The present study examined the efficacy of ponazuril in inhibiting merozoite production of Sarcocystis neurona in cell cultures. Ponazuril inhibited merozoite production by more that 90% in cultures of S. neurona treated with 1.0 microg/ml ponazuril and greater than 95% inhibition of merozoite production was observed when infected cultures were treated with 5.0 microg/ml ponazuril. Ponazuril ma...
