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...

Palmitoylation plays an important role in the regulation of the localization and function of the modified protein. Although many aspects of protein palmitoylation have been identified in mammalian and yeast cells, little information is available of this modification in protozoan parasites. Protein palmitoylation has been described for a few set of proteins in E.tenella, P. falciparum, T. gondii...

Some Cyprinid fish species: Cyprinion macrostomum (Heckel, 1843), Capoeta umbla Chondrostoma regium and Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) living naturally in the Murat River, were investigated for Protozoan Crustacean parasite fauna their distribution. Fish samples collected from different stations between July 2017 - June 2019, examined Bingöl University Zoology Research Laboratory, data expl...

background: cats and other felines act as definitive hosts for many intestinal parasites, some of which are responsible for several zoonotic diseases.  the aim of this study was to determine the type and prevalence of protozoa and gastrointestinal helminthes among stray cats. methods: a cross sectional study was conducted. digestive tracts of 100 stray cats in zanjan province, north-west of ira...

Problem statement: Intestinal protozoan parasites are important enteropathogens in dogs. Moreover, several canine intestinal protozoan parasites are zoonotic and are considered important to public health. This study investigates the level of intestinal protozoan parasites in stray dogs, in Kerman city, Iran. Approach: Determination of the prevalence of infections was based on faecal examination...

Wetlands containing floating, emergent and submergent aquatic plants, and other water-tolerant species have been found to economically provide a mechanism of enhancing the quality of domestic wastewater. The use of constructed wetlands for the removal of indicator bacteria (total and fecal coliforms), coliphages, protozoan parasites (Giardia and Cryptosporidium) and enteric viruses was investig...
