background: giardiasis is a one of the most prevalent intestinal parasitic diseases in human, treatment of this disease through medicinal plants is very important since parasite resistance to chemical drugs exists. thus, in this study, the in vitro anti-giardial activity of chloroformic extract of tanacetum parthenium and artemisia annua on cyst and trophozoite of giardia lamblia were separatel...

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiency, characterised by low concentration of serum IgG in association with low serum levels of IgA and/or IgM, despite normal to low number of B-cells and variable T-cells abnormalities. The patients with CVID could present a variety of clinical manifestations, including autoimmunity, malignancy, and recur...

Aims and Background: For a long time, intestinal parasite infections are among the major problems of Public health in Iran. Our aim was epidemiological studies on the frequency of intestinal parasites in patients referred to medical centers of Shahid Sadoughi University in Yazd during 2015-2016. Materials and Methods: In a two years cross-sectional study in the medical centers of Shahid Sadoug...

The SIMPLE-READ Giardia rapid assay (Medical Chemical Corporation) is a solid-phase qualitative immunochromatographic assay that detects Giardia lamblia in aqueous extracts of human fecal specimens. Testing 106 Giardia-positive and 104 Giardia-negative stool specimens yielded a sensitivity of 97.2% and a specificity of 100% for the SIMPLE-READ Giardia rapid assay.

Giardia lamblia is a protozoan parasite and the earliest branching clade of eukaryota. The Giardia life cycle alternates between an asexually replicating vegetative form and an infectious cyst form. Encystation and excystation are crucial processes for the survival and transmission of Giardia. Cysteine proteases in Giardia have been implicated in proteolytic processing events that enable the co...

Introduction: The present work aimed to assess the anti-parasitic effects of limonene (LMN) against Giardia lamblia trophozoites and cysts. Methods: Anti-Giardia activities LMN (25, 50, 100 μg/mL) were assessed G. cysts for 15-360 minutes. on apoptosis stimulation parasites determined by colorimetric protease assay. Results: more sensitive than best effect was seen at μg/mL. markedly triggered ...

Immunodeficiency, particularly antibody deficiency, predisposes to increased intensity and persistence of Giardia infections. Giardia-infected immunocompetent hosts produce serum and intestinal antibodies against Giardia trophozoites. The number of Giardia muris trophozoites, in mice with G. muris infection, is reduced by intra-duodenal administration of anti-G. muris antibody. Giardia intestin...

This work was conducted to determine the prevalence of E. coli, cryptosporidium spp., giardia, rotavirus and coronavirus agents involved in etiology diarrhea cases neonatal calf detected Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Animal Hospital Clinics other farms region between 2019-2020 years. The material study consisted 50 calves with diarrhea. Stool samples were taken from examined immunochromat...
