THE EFFICACY OF THREE MEDICINAL PLANTS; GARLIC, GINGER AND MIRAZID AND A CHEMICAL DRUG METRONIDAZOLE AGAINST CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM: II-HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES.

Cryptosporidiosis parvum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite infects intestinal epithelial cells of man and animals causing a major health problem. This study was oriented to evaluate the protective and curative capacity of garlic, ginger and mirazid in comparison with metronidazole drug (commercially known) against Cryptosporidium in experimental mice. Male Swiss Albino mice experimentally infected with C.

THE EFFICACY OF THREE MEDICINAL PLANTS: GARLIC, GINGER AND MIRAZID AND A CHEMICAL DRUG METRONIDAZOLE AGAINST CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM. I-IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSE.

Cryptosporidisis parvum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite infects intestinal epithelial cells causing a major health problem for man and animals. Experimentally the immunologic mediated elimination of C. parvum requires CD4+ T cells and IFN-gamma.

Scanning electron microscope observations of the surface features of the digenean Astiotrema impletum (Looss, 1899) Looss 1900.

The surface topography of Astiotrema impletum (Looss, 1899) Looss, 1900, from the white tilapia Oreochromis niloticus showed regional variations in the distribution of spines allover the body. The spines are abundant on the tegument of the head region, and the outer border of the ventral sucker. No spines were observed on the genital pore, on the inner rim of both the oral and ventral suckers, and on the tegumental surface of the posterior extremity of the body where the excretory pore is located.
