Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of ginger (zingiber officinale) against hydatid cysts' protoscolices using various concentrations and exposure times.
- Results showed that higher concentrations (200 mg/mL for aqueous and both 100 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL for alcoholic) were more effective in killing the protoscolices, with a clear relationship between concentration, exposure time, and efficacy.
- The findings suggest that ginger could be a promising natural anti-protoscolex agent, potentially with minimal side effects.
Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by intracellular protozoa belonging to the Leishmania genus. In endemic areas, only a proportion of exposed subjects develop the disease under almost similar circumstances, reflecting the role of genetic inheritance in resistance and susceptibility to infection. This study aimed To evaluate the association of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4)+49G/A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with incidence and severity of CL.

The highest insecticidal activity was shown by the aqueous extracts of powdered seeds followed by the entire pomace and then peels. The water extracts from the seeds, peels and pomaces were able to inhibit completely the hatching of the eggs at a concentration of 150 μg/ml while the Agita insecticide was able to inhibit the hatching process at a concentration of 50 μg/ml.
