Investigations on the Efficacy of Some Anticestode Compounds against Echinococcus granulosus in the Dog *

The Efficacy of Albendazole Mebendazole Combination Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces (an in vitro evaluation)

Scolicidal agents for protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cyst: Review of literature

Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of dog tape worm Echinococcus granulosus. Protoscolices are parasite larvae that develop into adult worms in the final host intestine. During surgical treatment of human hydatidsosis spillage of live protoscolices is the major cause of hydatidosis recurrence. To prevent this problem scolicidal agent such as hypertonic salt are used to kill the protoscolices that...

Combined Effect of Flubendazole and Praziquantel on Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces and Microcysts

Background and objectives: Benzimidazoles such as albendazole are being used in some conditions to treat the hydatid disease, the common parasitic infections of humans and livestock that caused by Echinococcus granulosus. However, treatment with these drugs is not always with complete success. In this study we evaluate the in vitro efficacy of flubendazole (FLBZ) plus praziquantel (PZQ) against...

Immunization of dog with proteins under 30 kDa molecular weight of hydatid cyst fluid and protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus

The aim of the present study was to assess the immunogenicity of under 30kDa molecular weight proteins of hydatid cyst fluid and protoscoleces in dogs experimentaly Infected with Echinococcus granulosus. Isolation of under 30 kDa proteins performed using Millipore filter. Six dogs were used in three groups: 2 dogs with under 30 kDa proteins of hydatid cyst fluid (Group I); 2 dogs with proteins ...

Evaluation of Echinococcus granulosus coproantigens by Dot-blotting in dogs

Definitive hosts of the Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus ) parasite are carnivores such as dogs,wolves and foxes. Detection of this parasite through faecal examination is not possible. In this study, dotblotting test for E. granulosus -specific coproantigens has been evaluated in dog. Three 2–3-month-old puppies were treated with piperazine and then faecal samples were collected as pre-in...
