Objective: To evaluate the cost-benefit of comprehensive parasitic disease control project in Rongxian County of Guangxi, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the control strategy of soil-transmitted nematode.
Methods: The data of the overall input and output for soil-transmitted nematode control were collected from 2007 to 2009, and the cost-benefit was analyzed.
Results: The infection rates of soil-transmitted nematode dropped from 30.10% in 2007 to 12.30% in 2009. The overall cost of soil -transmitted nematode control was 969 185.6 Yuan from 2007 to 2009. The direct benefits arising from avoiding the incidence of the disease for populations reached 88.415 million Yuan in three years. The ratio of benefit-cost was 91:1.
Conclusions: The soil -transmitted nematode infection brings a heavy financial burden on both the patients and society. The implementation of comprehensive control measures can effectively control the prevalence of the diseases and produce good social and economic benefits.

Objectives: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by (), which can lead to complications such as encephalitis and ocular toxoplasmosis. The disease becomes more severe when the host's immune system is compromised. Rhoptry proteins are major virulence factors that enable to invade host cells.

The surgical procedure detailed in this case report focuses on the treatment of a large cardiac hydatid cyst located in the intraventricular septum. The surgical intervention comprised a comprehensive approach involving a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A localized mass below the tricuspid valve at the basal region of the interventricular septum was revealed.

In this study, we investigated the variability in virulence among different strains of Perkinsus marinus and other Perkinsus species in Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica), examining the immune responses and mortality rates of oysters exposed to different Perkinsus isolates. Compared with the other assessed strains, P. marinus strain ATCC 50787 was found to induce significantly (P < 0.

Electronic address:
Avian coccidiosis, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, is a globally prevalent and highly pathogenic disease that poses a serious threat to the poultry industry, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the mechanism by which Eimeria species invade host cells remains unclear. Previous studies have identified rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2) from Eimeria tenella as a critical factor in host cell invasion, but a comprehensive understanding of the role of EtRON2 in host cell invasion and its relationship with E.

Introduction: To address problems of over- and under-treatment with preventive chemotherapy resulting in ongoing transmission of schistosomiasis, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends targeted mass drug administration (MDA) interventions at a sub-district level. In Tanzania, the lack of sub-district (ward) prevalence data has inhibited a transition to targeted treatment. Model-based prevalence estimation combined with routine surveillance data can be used to overcome this gap.
