[ 1 ] - Immune Responses to Antigens of in vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worms in Balb/c Mice

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay, Utilizing Native Antigen B for Serodiagnosis of Human Hydatidosis

Background: Hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. Serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of E. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. Therefore, WHO recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

[ 3 ] - Trend of toxocariasis in Iran: a review on human and animal dimensions

One of the neglected soil and/or food-borne diseases with international public health importance is toxocariasis. Human cases are being increasingly reported from Asian, African, Oceania, European and the American countries. Hence, human toxocariasis (HT) is now considered as a major zoonosis with global and regional importance. In Iran, human and animal toxocariasis is an endemic disease with ...

[ 4 ] - Study on the genomic diversity of Hymenolepis nana between rat and mouse isolates by RAPD-PCR

Hymenolepis nana is a common parasite of rodents as well as human intestine. This parasite has beenreported from all over the world, including Iran. The infection rate has been reported up to 40% in someareas. The infection has various clinical manifestations. The parasite could establish severe hyperinfection inpatients with immune deficiency. Regarding the rodents as hosts of the parasite, th...

[ 5 ] - طراحی الک عمودی غربالگر به منظور جداسازی تخم گونه های انگل توکسوکارا از نمونه‌های خاک

زمینۀ مطالعه: بیماری‌های انگلی کرمی یکی از مهم‌ترین بیماری‌های مشترک بین انسان و حیوان بوده که سلامت جوامع بشری را تهدید می‌نمایند. امروزه از روش‌های گوناگون جهت بررسی و جداسازی تخم انگل‌ها از نمونه‌های خاک استفاده می‌گردد. لذا به منظور کاهش میزان اشتباه ناشی از وجود آرتیفکت‌ها نیاز به طراحی و استفاده از وسیله خاص به منظور جمع‌آوری تعداد بیشتر و بررسی دقیق‌تر تخم انگل‌های کرمی موجود در نمونه‌ها...
