Epidemiological characteristics and molecular identification of species among cases of imported malaria in Kuwait during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cases of imported malaria are reported each year in several malaria non-endemic countries, including Kuwait. PCR testing is the ideal method for identification of the infecting spp. The present study documented the epidemiologic characteristics of molecularly confirmed cases of imported malaria in Kuwait during the first year of COVID-19 pandemic.

Key cytokines and hematological parameters in patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Hodeidah, Yemen.

Immunity to malaria has a major role in controlling disease and pathogenesis with cytokine production being involved in almost every phase of the immune response. The present study aimed to assess hematological variables and to measure plasma levels of TNFα, IFNγ and IL10, their ratios, and their relation to parasitemia among patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Hodeidah, Yemen. Forty patients with uncomplicated P.

Sarcocystosis among buffaloes from slaughterhouses in Nile Delta, Egypt: morphologic assessment and molecular confirmation.

Background: species are coccidian protozoan zoonotic parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa. There is a large diversity of species. Some of them are pathogenic and dangerous to humans, domestic, and wild animals.

Levels of Serum Ferritin and Hepcidin in Patients with Uncomplicated Falciparum Malaria in Hodeidah, Yemen: Considerations for Assessing Iron Status.

Understanding the key regulator of iron homeostasis is critical to the improvement of iron supplementation practices in malaria-endemic areas. This study aimed to determine iron indices and hepcidin (HEPC) level in patients infected with compared to apparently healthy, malaria-negative subjects in Hodeidah, Yemen. The study included 70 -infected and 20 malaria-negative adults.

Comparison of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and assemblage-specific primers for characterization of in children.

Background: is a diarrheagenic eukaryotic parasite that consists of at least eight morphologically identical but genetically distinct genotypes. Human giardiasis is caused mainly by A and B assemblages.

Aim And Objectives: The study aimed to compare the performance of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and assemblage-specific primers in genotyping of .
