Introduction: The nematophagus fungi have been suggested as an alternative way to eliminate the zoonotic helminths eggs from the environment. In the present study, we evaluated the ovicidal activity of a fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus, recovered from a compost soil, on the eggs of parasitic helminths under in vitro condition. Methods: Water suspension of the soil samples collected from differen...

monkeys are important experimental models for investigating human diseases. the aim of this study was to survey the alimentary tract parasites among imported vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) to iran. fecal samples were collected from 40 vervets imported from tanzania to razi vaccine and serum research institute of iran. fecal samples were assessed by direct smear and telman sedimentation...

Gastrointestinal helminths challenge ruminants in ways that reduce their fitness. In turn, ruminants have evolved physiological and behavioral adaptations that counteract this challenge. Ruminants display anorexia and avoidance behaviors, which tend to reduce the incidence of parasitism. In addition, ruminants appear to learn to self-medicate against gastrointestinal parasites by increasing con...

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS In limited anthelmintic studies with toluene and some of its halogen substitution products, namely, the ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers of chloro-, bromo-, iodo-, and fluoro-toluene, and 2 di-substituted derivatives, namely, 2,6-dichlorotoluene and 2,5-dibromotoluene, it was found that the introduction of halogens into the ring usually caused a reduction in efficacy . In...

The lizard Salvator merianae is a widely distributed species in South America, occurring from southern Amazonia to the eastern Andes and northern Patagonia. Studies on the parasitic fauna of this lizard have revealed that it is a host for helminths in various Brazilian biomes. The present work provides new parasitological data on the gastrointestinal nematodes associated with the lizard S. meri...

Nitazoxanide is a new thiazolide antiparasitic agent that shows excellent in vitro activity against a wide variety of protozoa and helminths. It is given by the oral route with good bioavailability and is well tolerated, with primarily mild gastrointestinal side effects. At present, there are no documented drug-drug interactions. Nitazoxanide has been licensed for the treatment of Giardia intes...

Gastrointestinal parasites (worms) in sheep and goats are common in all world regions. Parasite burdens have undermined survival of producers and are a limiting factor for farm profitability. Additionally, rampant worm resistance to commercially available anthelmintics adds complexity to parasite management plans and researchers have been looking for alternative compounds with effective anthelm...
