Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the isoenzyme patterns of Echinococcus granulosus genotypes in Iran, focusing on both E. granulosus sensu stricto (s.s.) and E. canadensis types through molecular methods and enzyme analysis.
- - A total of 32 cystic echinococcosis samples were collected from various locations, revealing that 75% were E. granulosus s.s. and 25% were E. canadensis based on DNA analysis.
- - Results showed distinct isoenzyme patterns between the two genotypes, with variations in enzyme activities, indicating that they may possess unique biochemical characteristics.
Isoenzyme profiles and phylogenetic analysis of Giardia duodenalis isolates from Iranian patients.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
November 2020
The main objective of this study was to characterize the Giardia duodenalis isolates from Iranian patients in Fars Province, south of Iran by biochemical and molecular methods. Fifteen mass cultivated of G. duodenalis isolates in modified TYI-S-33 medium were analyzed using isoenzyme electrophoresis and PCR genotyping.

Methods: Totally, 150 vaginal swab and urine specimens were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic women from May 2012 to Jun 2013. This study implemented a sensitive and reliable PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing method on the actin gene.
The flagellated protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) causes trichomoniasis, a reproductive tract infection, in humans. Trichomoniasis is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide.
