Post-appendectomy faecal fistula is a rare surgical complication, associated with significant morbidity. Taenia saginata infestation is one of the most common cestode infestation in the gastrointestinal tract. It makes many complications as obstruction, perforation, anastomotic leakage or appendicular stump dehiscence. The objective of our study is to report a very rare case of post appendectom...

Hydatid disease, an endemic in the cattle grazing areas, particularly in the Asian region, is a parasitic infection which is caused by the cestode tapeworm, Echinoccocus granulosus. There is involvement of the intra-abdominal organs apart from the liver, in 10-15% of the cases. We are reporting a case, wherein the appendix was involved with this parasitosis and we have discussed the review of t...

Further biogeographical studies of parasites are vital to improve our understanding biodiversity distribution and predict the impacts global change. Hypersaline lakes good laboratories investigate avian cestode abundance species diversity given hosts (waterbirds Artemia) their broad latitudinal distribution. We analysed infection in brine shrimp Artemia franciscana northern (Atacama) central Ch...
