One of the most important issues related to public health is parasitic diseases. Many diseases are zoonotic, emerging or re-emerging zoonoses, prevalent and difficult to control [1]. Some of these diseases such as leishmaniasis, malaria, Chagas disease and so on are vectorborne causing by pathogens transmitted by arthropods [2-4]. Some others are foodor water-borne so that contaminated food or ...

Zoonotic helminths are often transmitted to humans through domestic animals. This retrospective study was performed to estimate the prevalence of some important zoonotic helminthic infections of the liver and lung including echinococcosis, fasciolosis and dicrocoeliasis in Kazerun and Shiraz abattoirs, Fars, Iran, during 2011-2013. A total of 12381 sheep, 6473 cattle, 22847 goats, 66 camels, an...

Bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in soil and water - concurrently so are free-living helminths that feed on bacteria. These helminths fall into two categories; the non-parasitic and the parasitic. The former have been the focus of previous work, finding that bacterial pathogens inside helminths are conferred survival advantages over and above bacteria alone in the environment, and that accide...

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the presence and spread of gastrointestinal parasites in cats Van province.
 Material Method: The consists a total 140 cat feces samples collected between March 2017 2018. Stool were examined microscopically at 10X, 40X 100X magnifications after applying native, flotation, sedimentation examination carbolfuchsin staining method.
 Result...

background: conventional wastewater treatment is a combination of physical and biological processes designed to remove organic matter from solution. waste sludge drawn from these processes is thickened and processed for ultimate disposal wastewater contains various kinds of infectious agents, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. correct treatment in wastewater treatment plants is imp...

many parasitic helminthes of veterinary importance have genetic features that favor development of anthelmintic resistance, this becoming a major worldwide constrain in livestock production. the de-velopment of anthelmintic resistance poses a large threat to future production and welfare of grazing animals. development of variable degrees of resistance among different species of gastrointestina...

Rodents are the most abundant and diversified order of living mammals in world. Since middle ages they known to contribute human diseases, eg. black rats associated with distribution plague. In modern times also rodents form a threat for public health number pathogens directly or indirectly transmitted by rodents. Of 2277 extant rodent species, 217 species reservoirs harboring 66 zoonoses cause...
