This study was concerned with changes in the auditory canal and its associated structures in rats as affected by aging and by oral administration of tià ̄s(p-aminophenyl)carbonium pamoate (TACP). Multiple sections of tissue blocks from the auditory canal area were reviewed in control and treated animals of both sexes, and of varying ages up to 18 months. Tumors were found in the auditory canal g...

A steady increase in the number of dogs in urban areas induced contamination public places with dogs faeces and eggs of zoonotic parasites which present a significant health problem from human. In order to solve the problem most effective way is the eradication parasites of dogs. Our survey we conducted in cooperation with several veterinary clinics in Belgrade in 2015. In total, 223 dogs using...

Oesophagostomum bifurcum has recently been recognized as a common parasite of man in northern Togo and in Ghana. In a preliminary trial several anthelmintics were evaluated in the treatment of mixed Oesophagostomum and hookworm infections. Diagnosis was based on faecal culture, since the eggs of Oesophagostomum and hookworm cannot be distinguished morphologically. Of the anthelmintics tested, a...

Many techniques for studying functional genomics of important target sites of anthelmintics have been restricted to Caenorhabditis elegans because they have failed when applied to animal parasites. To overcome these limitations, we have focused our research on the human nematode parasite Brugia malayi, which causes elephantiasis. Here, we combine single-cell PCR, whole muscle cell patch clamp, ...

Accepted: 05/09/2013 Abstract Twenty four lions of Nandankanan Zoo were studied for prevalence of nematode eggs by faecal sample analysis and the prevalence rate was found to be 70%. For evaluation of anthelmintics, 20 lions were considered and were divided into four groups according to the drug administered and each group consisted of five animals. The lions were administered pyrantel pamoate ...

Acetylcholine receptors are pentameric ligand-gated channels involved in excitatory neuro-transmission in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In nematodes, they represent major targets for cholinergic agonist or antagonist anthelmintic drugs. Despite the large diversity of acetylcholine-receptor subunit genes present in nematodes, only a few receptor subtypes have been characterized so far. Int...

backgrounds: occurrence of resistance against antiparasitic drugs has made it essential for researchers to find new sources for antiparasitic drugs. objectives: this study was performed to determine the efficiency of alcoholic extract of worm wood (artemisia absinthium) on syphasia parasite. methods: artemisia absinthium extract was examined on 3 groups of mice at 2.5%, 5% and 10% concentration...

The study aimed at the development of an HPLC method enabling the identification and determination of the content of selected compounds occurring in multicomponent veterinary preparations used in parasitic diseases. The studied compounds included: pyrantel embonate, fenbendazole, praziquantel, epsiprantel and febantel. Using the developed HPLC method, a good separation of the above compounds wa...
