Phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Phlebotominae) diversity in the foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan: 50 years on.

In Uzbekistan, the number of reported leishmaniasis cases is rising at the alarming rate. In this work, we studied the phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Phlebotominae) diversity in the foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Surxondaryo Region of Uzbekistan and compared it with the data obtained for the same area 50 years ago, when infection prevalence was reportedly low. We found that the implicated vector for zoonotic leishmaniasis, P.

[A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ESTIMATING THE SEVERITY OF EXPERIMENTAL TRICHINOSIS].

The authors propose a mathematical model that makes it possible to estimate the severity of experimental trichinosis from the peripheral blood values of a laboratory animal (white blood cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocyates).

[MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE STRIATED MUSCLES AFTER ALBENDAZOLE TREATMENT FOR EXPERIMENTAL TRICHINOSIS].

Trichinosis was experimentally induced in rats. The morphology of encystation of Trichinella larvae was studied in the striated muscles. The efficacy of albendazole was evaluated in different intensity of Trichinella larvae infestation in the striated muscles of the laboratory animals.
