Evaluation of Nanonanoliposomal Curcumin on Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Skin Lesions Caused by r in BALB/c Mice.

Background: Curcumin is an extract of rhizome turmeric (diferuloylmethane), with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-parasitic properties, which making it a potential candidate for the treatment of leishmaniasis. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate curcumin as possible candidate for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Methods: We investigated the physicochemical properties and anti-leishmanial effects of nanoliposomal curcumin (40, 80, and 120 μM) in (MRHO/IR/75/ER) infected BALB/c mice at the faculty of Veterinary Medicinem University of Tehran, Iran.

Electrochemical immunosensor based on carbon nanofibers and gold nanoparticles for detecting anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies.

An electrochemical immunosensor based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed for detecting anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies  (anti-T. gondii) IgG in human serum. CNFs were produced using electrospinning and carbonization processes.

Induction of Apoptosis by Alcoholic Extract of Combination and on Iranian Isolate of .

Background: The protozoan is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Metronidazole is a chosen drug for the treatment. This study evaluated the anti trichomonal activity of alcoholic extracts of combination and

Methods: This experimental study was conducted in the Parasitology Laboratory, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in 2015, on 23 women with suspected trichomoniasis referring to Kashan clinical centers.

In Vitro Susceptibility of Iranian Isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis to Metronidazole.

Background: Metronidazole, a 5-nitroimidazole derivative, is the main antitrichomonal agent of choice for treatment of trichomoniasis. Since 1962, some cases of treatment failure with metronidazole have been reported and recently drug resistance is now on the rise in the world. This study was aimed to determine current susceptibility of Iranian isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis to metronidazole.

Genetic Identification of Trichomonas vaginalis by Using the Actin Gene and Molecular Based Methods.

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is the agent of urogenital tract infection that causes human trichomoniasis with some serious health complications. More understanding about genetic features of the parasite can be helpful in the study of the pathogenesis, drug susceptibility and epidemiology of the infection. For this end, we conducted analysis of the actin gene of T.
