چکیده
results in this case, the protoscolicidal effect of artemether and its combinations was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than other groups; the maximum protoscolicidal effect was found with 200 μg/ml of artemether after 4 days whereas albendazole killed protoscoleces on the 7th day post-incubation. surprisingly, the incubation of protoscoleces with artemisinine exhibited promising results, as only artemisinine was more effective against evaginated protoscoleces on the 9th day. the maximum effect of two drugs combined belonged to artemether and artemisinine. conclusions the obtained outcome demonstrated the desirable effect of artemether against echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces. with regard to artemisinine’s astonishing results, it seems that artemisinine can be a striking drug for tissue and metacestode forms of hydatidosis in human and animal models. however, further investigations into the in vivo experiments are proposed. background hydatidosis caused by echinococcus granulosusus remains an important parasitic disease, mainly in the mediterranean region, in human and veterinary medicine. many protoscolicidal agents have been used to treat it, but most of them are not safe and effective due to their undesirable side effects. objectives the aim of the present work was to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of the antihelminths artemether, artemisinine, albendazole, and drug combinations against echinococcus granulosusus protoscoleces. materials and methods echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces were aseptically removed from liver hydatid cysts in sheep. drugs were used at the following final concentrations: 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml for 15 days. the viability of protoscoleces was confirmed by eosine 0.1%.

In vitro effects of nitazoxanide on Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces and metacestodes.
OBJECTIVES Infection of humans and domestic ruminants with the larval stage (metacestode) of Echinococcus granulosus results in cystic echinococcosis (CE). The metacestode causes a space-occupying lesion in visceral organs, most commonly in the liver. Benzimidazole carbamate derivatives, such as mebendazole and albendazole, are currently used for chemotherapeutic treatment of CE. In human patie...

Scolicidal agents are important in the treatment of cystic echinococcosis. This study evaluated the scolicidal activity of the plant Blepharocalyx salicifolius (H.B.K.) Berg against Echinococcus ortleppi protoscoleces. The parasite species was identified by amplifying a fragment of the gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX 1). B. salicifolius crude extract at concentrations of 100, 200, 300 ...

BACKGROUND Hydatid cysts are formed in human body can be treated clinically by surgery or drugs such as albendazole (ABZ) and mebendazole (MBZ). The purpose of this study was comparing the effects of ABZ and MBZ on glutathione-S-transferase, alkaline phosphatase and protease enzymes activities in protoscoleces of hydatid cyst. METHODS The culture supernatants containing the parasite Excretory...
