Strain characterization of Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces of cattle origin using the in vitro vesicular development.

چکیده
The aim of this work was to characterize the strain of protoscoleces of E. granulosus of cattle origin using the in vitro vesicular development. The in vitro development of these samples was compared to samples of sheep origin determined previously by genetic analyses as common sheep strain (G1). There were similarities between sheep and cattle samples not only in the time of microcysts formation, but also in the development process. Vesiculated protoscoleces and protoscoleces with posterior bladders appeared during the first week of incubation. After 14 days of culture, a laminated layer appeared like a fine membrane in one of the extremes of the protoscoleces. In the sheep samples, microcysts were observed between 19 and 20 days. In the cattle samples, microcysts appeared between 20 and 23 days. The coincidence between the development times and physiological characteristics found in the present study may indicate that the parasites from cattle and sheep were of the same strain.

Evaluation the scolicidal and cytotoxic effects of Froriepia subpinnataagainst protoscolex of Echinococcus granulosus in vitro
Background & Aim: Hydatidosis is one of the most important and prevalent parasitic diseases in Iran. Due to the fact that no definite and reliable treatment for this disease has been recorded so far, the aim of this study was to investigate the antiparasitic effect of Froriepia subpinnata (F. subpinnata) on the protoscolex stage of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) in vitro. Methods: F. ...

The Echinococcus granulosus genome was searched for microsatellites using 8 different repeated oligonucleotides as probes (GT15, CT15, AT15, CG15, CAT10, CAA10, CGG10 and CATA10). Southern blot experiments revealed that DNA regions containing GT, CAA, CATA and CT repeats are the most frequent in the E. granulosus genome. AT and CG probes showed no hybridization signal. Two loci containing CA/GT...

Abstract—The dog tapeworms Echinococcus granulosus develop hydatid cysts in various organs in human and domestic animals worldwide including Bangladesh. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the genotype of E. granulosus isolated from cattle using 12S rRNA and Cytochrome oxidase 1 (COX 1) genes. A total of 43 hydatid cyst samples were collected from 390 examined cattle samples ...
