Schistosomiasis is a serious parasite disease with a high rate of mortality and negative financial impacts in subtropical and tropical locations like Egypt. The goal of this study was to investigate the anti-schistosomal effect of Spirulina platensis (SP) and Spirulina loaded niosomes (SPN), either in the presence or absence of praziquantel (PZQ) against S. mansoni in experimentally infected mice.

- The study explored using Hirudo medicinalis to discover new treatments for murine coccidiosis caused by Eimeria papillate.
- Researchers separated hirudo extract antigens into different fractions and tested them, finding that some significantly reduced parasite output while enhancing goblet cell counts and MUC2 gene expression.
- The most effective protein identified in the fractions was Eglin C, which displayed potential as a therapeutic or anti-inflammatory agent against coccidiosis infections, though higher concentrations negatively impacted lymphocyte activity.
Eimeriosis is a common parasitic disease in the chicken industry. The aim of this study was to assess the protective role of Hirudo extract antigens (HEA) against murine eimeriosis induced by Eimeria papillate. The oocyst output, developmental stages, goblet cells and oxidative stress, were investigated.
