Intestinal parasitic infections continue to be a major threat to the health and socioeconomic wellbeing of infected people especially children in developing countries and have been an important cause of morbidity especially in children. The present study attempted to assess the prevalence of different intestinal parasitic infections in primary school children aged 6–12 years in a government pri...

Leishmania donovani and Leishmania braziliensis grown in culture formed millimolar concentrations of allopurinol ribonucleoside 5’-monophosphate from [6“C]allopurinol. In addition, allopurinol l-ribonucleoside, oxipurinol riboside 5’-monophosphate, and three new metabolites of allopurinol, namely, 4-aminopyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidine ribonucleoside V-monophosphate and the corresponding diand tripho...

Gardiner, C.H., R. Payer, and J.P. Dubey. 1988. An atlas of protozoan parasites in animal tissues. U.S. Departnnent of Agriculture, Agriculture Handbook No. 651, 83 p. This atlas illustrates protozoan parasites in animal tissues. To facilitate identification, It provides a brief description of parasites, hosts, transmission, and pathogenesis of the most Important protozoans and simplified life-...

Introduction: Parasitic intestinal diseases caused by protozoans and helminths are important causes of gastrointestinal disturbances which responsible for a high burden morbidity mortality as they detrimental not only to paediatric immunocompromised patients but also adults immunocompetent patients. Hence, it is know their in geographical area develop adequate control measures. Aim: To estimate...

BACKGROUND Coccidiosis caused by protozoans of genus Eimeria is a chicken parasitic disease of great economical importance. Conventional disease control strategies depend on vaccination and prophylactic use of anticoccidial drugs. Alternative solution to prevent and treat coccidiosis could be provided by passive immunization using orally delivered neutralizing antibodies. We investigated the po...

Abstract Background Amphibian parasites have been used as models for understanding important issues about host activity and sensitivity to environmental perturbations amphibian decline. With the aim of comparing parasitic fauna in Amietophrynus regularis from natural habitat dumpsites within Lagos metropolis, a total 172 toads were sampled determine occurrence gastrointestinal tract blood paras...

Abstract Food handlers plays a primary role in the transmission of pathogenically important protozoans and helminth parasites. This study was aimed to evaluate prevalence intestinal pathogenic parasites among food around University Malakand, Lower Dir, Pakistan. Stool samples were collected from 642 (all male) cross-sectional January November, 2017. Wet Mount Techniques concentration methods by...

We followed seasonal changes in abundance of bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF), ciliates and crustaceans, and consumption of bacteria by the protozoans, to investigate trophic interactions among these organisms in a hypereutrophic pond from March to October 1997. Densities of HNF and ciliates were high and attained a maximum of 1 .4 X 105 and 3500 cells ml-l, respectively. However, ...

Aim: Malaria is among the most devastating and widespread tropical parasitic diseases. To overcome antimalarial drug resistance, new drugs need to be developed. This study designed establish pharmacokinetic profile toxicity of nine quinine derivatives as potential using in silico approaches by SwissADME pkCSM.
 Methodology: The structures investigated compounds were translated into canonic...
