Parasitic disease is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in small ruminants. The direct causes of economic loss due to parasitic infestations are acute illness, death and premature slaughter. In addition, another cause of economic loss to small animal ruminant farmers is rejection of edible parts of infested animals during meat inspection. The indirect losses are due to decrease ...

We undertook a study of the mechanical transmission of parasitic organisms in cockroaches in the Samutprakarn province of Thailand. In this study, 920 cockroaches were obtained from 18 open-air shopping markets in 5 districts and 1 subdistrict of this province. All cockroaches were captured during their feeding time in their natural habitat. Direct wet smear and modified acid-fast bacilli stain...

The current paper summarizes the findings on endogenous morphine isolated by HPLC and characterized by mass spectroscopy in Schistosoma mansoni, Dracunculus medinensis and Ascaris suum. Morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) has also been found by HPLC and confirmed by mass spectroscopy in Dracunculus medinensis and Ascaris suum. In addition, a morphine like substance has been isolated from Trichinella s...

Microorganisms and helminthes can cause serious diseases in humans as well animals. The use of antimicrobial antihelminthic drugs have created selective pressure caused resistance to antibiotics used against them, thus it necessitates the honey bee’s derived natural products. One such bee product is pollen, collected by worker bees from flowering plants modify adding its salivary secretions. pr...
