The is one of the most important causative agents of nasal myiasis in camels. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, histopathological effects, and molecular identification of infestation in camels of Kerman province, South-Eastern Iran, between 2019 and 2021. The larvae were placed in 10% formalin for histopathological evaluation and species identification.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the major zoonotic diseases of human with a worldwide distribution. Long term albendazole therapy is usually associated with side effects including impaired liver function and leukopenia.

Its larval stage infects intermediate hosts and forms hydatid cysts mainly in the liver and lungs tissues and less other organs such as brain, eye and bone. In the experimental models, inoculation of protoscoleces into the peritoneum, thoracic cavity, subcutaneous and cerebrum produces hydatid cysts.

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of doxorubicin plus methotrexate - loaded nanoparticles on tongue squamous cell carcinoma induced by 4NQO and compare it with the commercial doxorubicin and methotrexate delivered orally on seventy SD male rats.
Methods: 70 rats were divided into five groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate serodiagnosis of hydatid cysts in humans using sheep antigens through ELISA and compare this with a commercial kit.
- One hundred blood samples were collected from patients with severe abdominal pain and were tested with different sheep antigens to detect antibodies, using known positive and negative controls for validation.
- The findings indicated that hydatid fluid antigen was the most effective for detection, showing greater compatibility in the analysis, thus suggesting its potential for further ELISA diagnostic development for hydatidosis in humans.
