In this study, the parasites of Pyllotreta atra (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Trabzon were investigated. Samples of P. atra were collected in different localities of Trabzon. Three different types of parasites from P. atra observed are as follows: Gre-garine (Apicomplexa), Nematode (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) and larvae of certain parasitoids. The most abundant infection found in this study...

This study was aimed to investigate the infection of internal parasites Dentex macrophthalmus in Syrian marine coastal waters. A total 409 individuals were collected from Ras Al-Basit north Tartus south following research stations: Al-Basit, different areas along Lattakia beach, Jableh and Tartous, during period January 2019 December 2020.
 The organs (stomach, intestine body cavity) all f...

The OptiMAL test (Flow Inc., Portland, Oreg.), which detects a malaria parasite lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) antigen, has not been evaluated for its sensitivity in the diagnosis of malaria infection in various epidemiological settings. Using microscopy and a PCR as reference standards, we performed a comparison of these assays with the OptiMAL test for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum and...

this survey was carried out from june to october 1990, in order to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the residents. a total of 2227 persons were selected from 44 villages by using linear systematic sampling method. the samples of stool from these people were examined by formalin - ether concentration procedure. the collected data were analyzed by spss package. the result showed...

The present investigation was carried out seasonally from October 2008 to September 2010, to study the impact of helminth parasites of catfishes of Lucknow. The fish fauna viz., Clarias batrachus, Heteropneustes fossilis, Wallago attu, Mystus vittatus and Rita rita were carried trematode, cestode, nematode and acanthocephalan parasites communities singly or mixed. The collected fish species inc...

Infection patterns of parasites, including their prevalence, diversity and host specificity, can be impacted by many biological environmental factors, but no study has focused on the circadian rhythms vertebrate hosts, which may affect susceptibilities encounter rates between hosts vectors further shape host-parasite associations. In this study, we avian haemosporidians, a classical model in st...

The trypanosome Lotmaria passim and the microsporidian Nosema ceranae are common parasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, intestine, but the nature of interactions between them is unknown. Here, we took advantage of naturally occurring infections and quantified infection loads of individual workers (N = 408) originating from three apiaries (four colonies per apiary) using PCR to test for int...

increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. the kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female cflp mice infected with 100 schistosoma mansoni cercariae. the number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
