background: ornithobilharziosis as one of the parasitic infections may give rise to serious economic problems in animal husbandry. the aim of the study was to prepare and compare the somatic and excretory-secretory (es) antigens of o. tur­kestanicum in gel diffusion test. methods: excretory-secretory (es) and somatic antigens of ornithobilharzia turkestanicum were prepared from collected worms ...

background : immunological response of host and parasite play a key role in developing vaccina­tion and immunization. the present study deals with the immune response and effecter mechanism, which was confirmed by migration inhibition factor (mif).  methods : the present work was conducted in parasitological lab of postgraduate department of zool­ogy, government holkar science college, indore (...

indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectivenessin immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis in experimental and clinical cases in sheep by using somatic wholeadult antigen of h. contortus. plate elisa was standardized using 5 μg/well antigen concentration with1:100 and 1:1000 of sera and conjugate dilution. indirect plate elisa was able to demonstrate...

background: recognition of helminth-derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (pamps) by pattern recognition receptors (prrs), including toll like recep­tors (tlrs) is the first step towards initiating anti–helminth immune re­sponses. methods : using somatic antigens of ostertagia occidentalis, an important abomasal parasite of ruminants, the expression of ovine tlr2 and tlr4 in peripheral...

Background: Dicrocoelium dendriticum, a liver trematode of herbivores, and man is very prevalent among ruminants of Iran, resulting in causing significant economic losses. Recently its phenotype polymorphism has been found in Iran, a phenomenon that may affect the protein profile of the parasite. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the somatic protein profiles of D.dendriticum in...

Human fascioliasis due to unknown species and animal fascioliasis caused by both or one of Fasciola spp. are commonly seen in Iran. To compare electrophoretic patterns of somatic and excretory-secretory antigens of F. hepatica and F. gigantica  by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the adult flukes were collected from infected slaughtered bovine livers. E/S a...

background: mixed infection with amphistomes seems common in native cattle of iran. the aim of this study was to determine diagnostic antigens in cattle mixed amphistomiasis. methods: specific antigens of cotylophoron cotylophorum , gastrothylax crumenifer and paramphisto­mum cervi (mixed infection), the most common species, were collected from cattle was deter­mined. adult trematodes were coll...
