Molecular genotyping of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto from human Echinococcal cysts in Hatay, Türkiye.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the zoonotic infections in human, an important global health problem. It was aimed to determine the molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of isolates obtained from patients diagnosed with CE in Hatay province, according to the cox1 gene region. A total of 31 patients, 14 males and 17 females, with a mean age of 35.

Biochemical Analysis of Germinal Membrane and Cyst Fluid by Raman Spectroscopy in Echinococcosis.

Objective: Hydatidosis is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of . The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical structures of germinal membrane and cyst fluids obtained from patients with liver involvement during surgery, by Raman spectroscopy at the molecular level.

Methods: Molecular characterization of germinal membrane and cyst fluid according to mitochondrial gene region was determined and phylogenetic analysis was performed.

Determination of Ethanol in Blood Samples Using Partial Least Square Regression Applied to Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Alcohol consumption triggers toxic effect to organs and tissues in the human body. The risks are essentially thought to be related to ethanol content in alcoholic beverages. The identification of ethanol in blood samples requires rapid, minimal sample handling, and non-destructive analysis, such as Raman Spectroscopy.

Investigation of Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax in Periodontitis or Gingivitis Patients in Kayseri.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Entamoeba gingivalis and Trichomonas tenax in periodontitis and gingivitis patients.

Methods: The study consisted of 107 periodontitis patients and 68 gingivitis patients. Bacterial plaque samples were collected with a curette from the deepest pocket in each quadrant and placed into separate tubes containing sterile 0.

[Investigation of the presence of Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in bone marrow transplant patients by IFA-MAbs method].

Microsporidian pathogens are obligatory intracellular eukaryotic parasites which can be found worldwide. They have been represented in 144 genera and more than 1200 species that may cause infections in both vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis are the most common species among 14 species of microsporidia identified as human pathogens and they cause infections in the gastrointestinal tract.

[Prevalence of Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in cancer patients under chemotherapy].

Microsporidia species are obligate intracellular parasites and constitute one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that can cause severe infections especially in immunocompromised patients. Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis are the most common species among 14 microsporidia species identified as human pathogens. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of E.

[Microsporidia and microsporidiosis].

All microsporidia are obligate parasites and have no active stages outside their host cells. Microsporidia lack some typical eukaryotic characteristics. There are now over 1200 species identified in 144 genera.

[Investigation of anti-Echinococcus granulosus antibodies in patients with suspected cystic echinococcosis].

Objective: Cystic echninococcosis (CE) is an important helmintho-zoonotic disease causing health-threatening and economic losses for developing countries. In this study, anti-Echinococcus granulosus antibodies were evaluated in 1556 CE suspected patients (701 males, 855 females) who applied to the serology laboratory of the Parasitology Department of Erciyes University between June 1999 and July 2010.

Methods: Fifty-six (3.

The prevalence of Pediculus humanus capitis in two primary schools of Hacılar, Kayseri.

Objective: Pediculosis capitis is a worldwide public health concern, and today, head lice are seen in all socio-economic levels. The infestation usually occurs by head-to-head contact and children, primarily girls, aged 3-12 years are mostly affected. In the present study a total of 405 pupils (214 boys and 191 girls) from two pre- and primary schools in the Kayseri-Hacılar region were examined for pediculosis capitis during March 2010.

[Investigation of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies among foreign students in a high school].

Objective: Toxoplasmosis is a major health problem in both developed and developing countries. Infection is transmitted to humans by consumption of raw or undercooked meat containing tissue cysts and by ingesting foods contaminated with oocysts from the feces of infected cats and felidae. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the incidence of T.

[Investigation of intestinal parasites among primary school students in Kayseri-Hacılar].

Objective: Parasitic infections are an important health problem which affect children more than adults. Especially in growth-age children, this leads to problems such as malnutrition, malabsorption, growth retardation and learning disabilities. In this study, 328 students who were investigated in two primary schools between the ages of 6 and 14 in Kayseri-Hacılar region were analyzed for intestinal parasites.

[The investigation of intestinal parasites in foreign high school students].

Intestinal parasites are important health problem especially in undeveloped or underdeveloped countries with low socio-economic status,. In this study, stool and cellophane tape samples were analyzed for intestinal parasites in 192 foreign students who were came from 28 different countries and attending a high school with the age of 15 to 21 (age mean: 17.92 ± 1.

[Investigation of anti-Toxocara canis IgG antibodies in patients presenting at The Erciyes University Medical Faculty, Department of Parasitology.].

Human Toxocara canis infections are seen all over the world, especially in temperate and tropical climate regions. Dogs are known to be reservoir hosts in transmission of the disease. Because puppies are infected both transplacentally and by breast milk, they add huge amounts of eggs daily to the environment with their stools for months.

[The molecular mechanisms of erythrocyte invasion of Plasmodium spp. as a model organism of apicomplexan protozoa].

Apicomplexan protozoa are a phylum of parazites that includes medically and agriculturally important pathogens. They are named for their cell apex which contains a number of organelles (rhoptri, micronemes, conoid, apical polar ring, dense granules and apicoplast), important for their invasion and development within host cells. Among important apicomplexan parasites that affect human health directly or indirectly are Plasmodium spp.
