Offshore aquaculture has gained momentum in recent years, and the production of an increasing number marine fish species is being relocated offshore. Initially, predictions advantages that offshore would present over nearshore farming were made without enough science-based evidence. Now, with more scientific knowledge, this review revisits past expectations aquaculture. We analysed explained oc...

An IgG ELISA was evaluated as a serological test for the diagnosis of invasive amoebic disease in an endemic area. Sixteen patients with proven amoebic dysentery, 22 with suspected amoebic dysentery and 21 with amoebic liver abscesses were studied. Control subjects were 26 asymptomatic amoebic cyst passers, 13 patients with giardiasis, 26with enteric fever and 31 individuals with no evidence of...

In a recent paper on tropical or amoebic abscess of the liver and its relationship to amoebic dysentery I have drawn attention to the occurrence of this form of disease of the large bowel in India, and hope shortly to describe it more fully with illustrations of the naked eye and microscopical changes in the Scientific Memoirs. In nearly every one of the cases of this disease met with at the Me...

Isolated circulating immune complexes (CICs) from sera of patients with amoebiasis were characterized to determine Entamoeba histolytica antigens that participate in the disease process. In total, 116 serum samples were collected before starting anti-amoebic therapy, and their CICs were isolated by differential polyethylene glycol precipitation. The presence of amoeba-specific antigens in CICs ...

Recirculation systems create unique environments for fish culture. Opportunistic microorganisms may cause disease due to favorable conditions occurring in recirculation systems. The biofilters used may become reservoirs of infectious microorganisms. Stressful conditions such as suspended solids in culture tanks and high rearing densities may contribute to disease outbreaks. Additionally, noninf...

Amoebic liver abscess is a common disease, especially in endemic areas, but it is a rare cause of inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction, with only a few cases appearing in the literature. We report three cases of amoebic liver abscess complicated with obstruction of the IVC and which responded to conservative treatment or radiological intervention.

Background: Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is a serious extra-intestinal manifestation of amoebiasis and major problem in developing countries. Due to rapid urbanization, improved sanitation hygiene India, there has been shift disease epidemiology towards non-communicable disease, but recent changes epidemiological clinical pattern ALA are not well studied.Â
