background: falciparum malaria is a severe health burden worldwide. antigen presenting cells are reported to be affected by erythrocytic stage of the parasite. malarial hemozoin (hz), a metabolite of malaria parasite, has adjuvant properties and may play a role in the induction of immune response against the parasite. objective: to determine the immunological impact of hemozoin on the capacity ...

background: this study aimed at determining the prevalence and associated risk factors for asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia and anemia among blood donors in a private medical laboratory in benin city, nigeria. methods: venous blood was collected from a total of 247 blood donors. malaria status, abo, rhesus blood groups and hemoglobin concentration of all participants were determined using stan...

Background and aims:
 Although blood transfusion is generally believed to save human lives, can be a vehicle for the transmission of some infectious parasitic diseases including malaria. So, this study aims determine prevalence malaria among donors in Central Blood Bank Kassala State, according age groups.
 Materials methods:
 A cross-sectional was carried out central bank State ...

SUMMARY Giardia is a protozoan parasite which exists in the small intestine in man. This parasite could act as a barrier against fat absorption. It also results in anemia as a result of interference with folic acid vitamin B6 and probably iron absorption. In this study a total of 198 infested and 35 non­infested school children were studied for serum Iron and TIBC. The results showed the Iron...

Severe malaria and associated high parasite burdens occur more frequently in humans lacking robust adaptive immunity to Plasmodium falciparum Nevertheless, the host may partly control blood-stage parasite numbers while adaptive immunity is gradually established. Parasite control has typically been attributed to enhanced removal of parasites by the host, although in vivo quantification of this p...

The aim of this research was to investigate the number prevalence Trypanosomiasis wild rats in Banyuwangi District. Sixty were trapped from 4 sub-districts, Banyuwangi, Srono, Songgon, and Tegaldlimo human residence, markets rice fields March until June 2017. Blood taken after anaesthetized using ether. examination parasite used blood smear Giemsa staining. result show that just 1 60 sample app...

Climate change is predicted to cause shifts in parasite distributions, leading encounters with new hosts. Mountains offer a natural experimental background study how distributions vary across climatic gradients. Parasite abundance generally assumed decrease ascending elevation, as colder climates may preclude several parasites complete their life cycles. The present analyses the elevational var...

Populations of Triatomas infestans with different susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides were reported have distinct evolutionary and epidemiological characteristics. We aimed at evaluating metacyclogenesis parasite load as measures vector competence feeding/defecation patterns vectorial capacity estimates a group resistant (“R”) susceptible (“S”) T. infestans. Third instar nymphs each fed o...
