Molecular identification of species in recreational waters in North-Eastern Poland.

Background: In Europe, avian schistosomes of the genus are the most common etiological agents involved in human cercarial dermatitis (swimmer's itch). Manifested by a skin rash, the condition is caused by an allergic reaction to cercariae of nonhuman schistosomes. Humans are an accidental host in this parasite's life cycle, while water snails are the intermediate, and waterfowl are the final hosts.

spp. and Other Intestinal Parasites in Polish Soldiers Deployed to Lebanon and Iraq.

Intestinal parasitic infections are one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide, particularly in developing countries. A distinct group at increased risk of infection is military personnel deployed overseas for extended periods, typically six months at a time. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of spp.

Dermatological and Molecular Evidence of Human Cercarial Dermatitis in North-Eastern Poland.

Swimmer's itch or human cercarial dermatitis (HCD) appears as a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to larval (cercariae) flatworm parasites of the family In our study, two cases of HCD were analyzed; both of them were reported in people swimming in Lake Pluszne. In the summer of 2018, a sample of 397 snails was collected at swimming sites in that area. Five (1.

Epidemiology of scabies in relation to socio-economic and selected climatic factors in north-east Poland.

Introduction: Scabies is a contagious parasitic disease, a skin infestation caused by Scaroptes scabieri, tiny mites that burrow under the skin. Outbreaks of scabies can be difficult to control and require the implementation of appropriate control programme.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the epidemiology of scabies in north-east Poland, considering socio-economic and selected climatic factors.

The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis infections in the population of Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeship (North-Eastern Poland).

Introduction: Trichomonas vaginalis is considered to be the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection. Trichomoniasis is not a reportable disease and due to this fact only estimates can be made about its incidence

Aim Of The Study: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalis in the female population of north-eastern Poland as well as to conduct an epidemiological analysis on the basis of the data from the years of 2009 – 2015 derived from the registers of the National Health Fund

Materials And Methods: In this study 300 women aged 19 – 50 were examined.

Human Permanent Ectoparasites; Recent Advances on Biology and Clinical Significance of Mites: Narrative Review Article.

Background: is a genus of mites living predominantly in mammalian pilosebaceous units. They are commonly detected in the skin of face, with increasing numbers in inflammatory lesions. Causation between mites and inflammatory diseases, such as rosacea, blepharitis, perioral and seborrhoeic dermatitis or chalazion, is controversially discussed.
