Pregnane glycoside from as latent schistosomicidal mediator.

Development of a novel agent for control of schistosomiasis is a mandate. anti-schistosomal activity of the aerial parts of were examined. Chromatographic investigations of the ethanol extract (EE) were afforded three compounds.

Nematodes ultrastructure: complex systems and processes.

Nematode worms are among the most ubiquitous organisms on earth. They include free-living forms as well as parasites of plants, insects, humans and other animals. Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in nematode biology, including the area of nematode ultrastructure.

Genomic instability in complicated and uncomplicated Egyptian schistosomiasis haematobium patients.

Background: Exploration of genetic changes during active Schistosoma infection is important for anticipation and prevention of chronic sequelae. This study aimed to explore the genomic instability in chromosomal and cellular kinetics in Egyptians suffering from uncomplicated active schistosomiasis haematobium infection in addition to chronic schistosomiasis haematobium cases complicated by bilharzial-associated bladder cancer (BAC).

Results: This study was conducted on 46 schistosomiasis haemotobium cases, 22 were active (Viable S.

Molecular identification of giardia intestinalis in patients with dyspepsia.

Background/aims: Giardia intestinalis triggers symptoms of functional dyspepsia. The aim of this study was to distinguish genotypes of G. intestinalis isolated from dyspeptic patients to evaluate their correlation with dyspeptic symptoms.

P selectins and immunological profiles in HCV and Schistosoma mansoni induced chronic liver disease.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Schistosoma mansoni are major causes of chronic liver disease (CLD) in which immune alteration is common. Recent studies suggested that certain platelets and lymphocytes activation markers may have an impact on progression of CLD. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of platelets and lymphocytes activation molecules expression on the pathogenesis of CLD in distinct or concomitant chronic HCV and schistosomiasis mansoni infections.

The effect of praziquantel and Carica papaya seeds on Hymenolepis nana infection in mice using scanning electron microscope.

Hymenolepis nana (H. nana) is the most common tapeworm infection worldwide. It is more prevalent in warm climates where sanitation is poor, particularly among children.

Therapeutic potential of myrrh and ivermectin against experimental Trichinella spiralis infection in mice.

Trichinosis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the nematode Trichinella spiralis. Anthelmintics are used to eliminate intestinal adults as well as tissue-migrating and encysted larvae. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ivermectin and myrrh obtained from the aloe-gum resin of Commiphora molmol on experimental trichinosis.

Potential Use of Biomphalaria alexandrina Snail Antigens for Serodiagnosis of Schistosomiasis Mansoni by Immunoblot Analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible use of Biomphalaria alexandrina snail antigens in diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni using enzyme linked immunolectrotransfere blot (EITB).

Methods: S. mansoni adult worm crude antigens (AWA), feet and visceral humps of B.

The pathogenic role of different Blastocystis hominis genotypes isolated from patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

Background And Study Aims: The pathogenic role of Blastocystis hominis is still regarded by some as controversial. Studies have been in progress for years to evaluate the role of blastocystosis in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and demonstrated that faecal carriage of B. hominis was frequent in these patients.
