Nowadays, it is still important to develop effective anti-opisthorchiasis agents. In this work, we tested a complex of praziquantel (PZQ) with a plant origin compound—disodium glycyrrhizinate—in the ratio 1:10 PZQ:Na2GA, containing 11-fold less of the active ingredient. Our aim was to study various ways to treat trematode Opisthorchis felineus with this complex in vitro. Additionally, an in vitro ...... hiện toàn bộ
Ultrastructure of the ovary, ovicapt and oviduct of the spathebothriidean tapeworm Didymobothrium rudolphii (Monticelli, 1890)Acta Parasitologica - Tập 52 - Trang 127-134 - 2007

The ultrastructural details are presented of the ovary, ovicapt and oviduct of the spathebothriidean tapeworm Didymobothrium rudolphii (Monticelli, 1890) from the intestine of the sand sole Solea lascaris. Oogonia, maturing oocytes and mature oocytes are surrounded by a syncytial interstitial cytoplasm, one of the distinctive traits of which is the presence of numerous myelin-like bodies. Oocyte i...... hiện toàn bộ
DNA vaccine encoding Haemonchus contortus Actin induces partial protection in GoatsActa Parasitologica - Tập 59 - Trang 698-709 - 2014

Actin is a globular multi-functional protein that forms microfilaments, and participates in many important cellular processes. Previous study found that Haemonchus contortus actin could be recognized by the serum of goats infected with the homology parasite. This indicated that H. contortus actin could be a potential candidate for vaccine. In this study, DNA vaccine encoding H. contortus actin was...... hiện toàn bộ

Cryptosporidiosis represents a major health problem worldwide particularly among children. Its diagnosis is still difficult and demands sensitive methods. In Egypt, there is little documentation of infection among children with malignancies. This work was designed to study the infection rate of Cryptosporidium among children with malignancies, compare the performance of modified Ziehl–Neelsen (MZN...... hiện toàn bộ
Antimalarial Drug Combination Predictions Using the Machine Learning Synergy Predictor (MLSyPred©) toolActa Parasitologica - - Trang 1-11 - 2024

Antimalarial drug resistance is a global public health problem that leads to treatment failure. Synergistic drug combinations can improve treatment outcomes and delay the development of drug resistance. Here, we describe the implementation of a freely available computational tool, Machine Learning Synergy Predictor (MLSyPred©), to predict potential synergy in antimalarial drug combinations. The ML...... hiện toàn bộ
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations, antibody titers and circulating immune complexes in patients with cystic echinococcosisActa Parasitologica - Tập 52 - Trang 414-418 - 2007
Marita Chakhtoura, Ghassan Al-Awar, Alexander M. Abdelnoor
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, is a prominent disease in Lebanon. The objectives of this study were to determine HLA allele-CE association in patients, and relate its presence to high anti-Echinococcus antibody titers and the presence of circulating immune complexes (CIC). Thirty patients and 20 controls were included. HLA profiles were determined by DN...... hiện toàn bộ
A review of the Lepocreadiidae (Digenea, Lepocreadioidea) from fishes of the waters around New CaledoniaActa Parasitologica - Tập 57 - Trang 247-272 - 2012
Rodney A. Bray, Jean-Lou Justine
The lepocreadiid fauna of New Caledonia is reported and discussed and a new species and several new host and locality records presented. Hypoporus plataxi sp. nov. from Platax teira is described and distinguished from its only congener by its terminal genitalia, the structure of the anterior part of the alimentary system and other morphological features. New host and locality records and a descrip...... hiện toàn bộ
