conclusions according to the results of the present study, the prevalence of some infections with intestinal parasites is high in the hamadan city. considering that most of the parasites are nonpathogenic, pathogenic ones have been reduced generally in comparison to the previous reports. nevertheless, the existence of taenia species and h. nana could not be ignored. results among 228 samples, 8...

Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) stimulated neutrophils to produce significant levels of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL). Since WGA is known to bind N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) oligomers and N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), we attempted to determine which binding property of WGA is essential for induction of CL. The succinylated form of WGA (SuWGA), which is no longer able to bind NANA, was...

Exposure to predatory stimuli typically results in the elevation of circulating glucocorticoid levels and a behavioral response of freezing or escape behavior in many prey species. Corticosterone (CORT) is the main glucocorticoid in amphibians and is known to be important in modulating many behaviors and developmental functions. The federally threatened San Marcos salamander, Eurycea nana, decr...

Amide-amide NOESY provides important distance constraints for calculating global folds of large proteins, especially integral membrane proteins with beta-barrel folds. Here, we describe a diagonal-suppressed 4-D NH-NH TROSY-NOESY-TROSY (ds-TNT) experiment for NMR studies of large proteins. The ds-TNT experiment employs a spin state selective transfer scheme that suppresses diagonal signals whil...

Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) is an obligatory and non-photosynthetic root parasitic plant that specifically infects the sunflower. It is located in Europe and in Asia, where it can cause yield losses of over 80%. More aggressive races have evolved, mainly around the Black Sea, and broomrape can rapidly spread to new areas. Breeding for resistance seems to be the most efficient and sus...

Beaches are major sites of microbiological pollution. Assessment the abundance resistant forms enteric protozoa on these recreational waters is important for prevention and management health risks. Based sedimentation flotation methods, this study found that Kribi beach concentrate considerable amounts protozoa, which potentially pathogenic. They include Coccidia (Cryptosporidium sp. Cyclospora...

ABSTRACT Hymenolepiasis is the most common intestinal tapeworm infection in humans caused by an cestode, Hymenolepis nana. Praziquantel (PZQ) effective drug among other compounds, however, many cases of resistance have been reported. Recent research projects focused on finding novel therapeutic agents from medicinal plants. In present study, Aaronsohnia factorovskyi was used against hymenolepia...
