Abstract Papaya ( Carica papaya ) seeds together with squash Cucurbita moschata was pelleted to be used as dewormer, determine its antihelmintic effects on growing chicken. They were randomly divided into four treatments and replication five birds per treatment assigned using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), a total of eighty native chickens.

A 10-year-old boy was admitted with a 4-month history of ataxic gait, headache, vomiting and diplopia. The headaches had worsened in month 4 and were associated with vomiting during head movement. Cranial computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed a hydatid cyst located in the posterior fossa. The patient underwent suboccipital craniotomy and a cerebellar hydat...

The control of gastrointestinal nematodes relies at present mostly on antihelmintic treatments using synthetic molecules. This approach, however, has led to the appearance of resistance to some types of antihelmintics which, together with the need to cut down on the use of chemicals, has fostered the development of other control methods, such as biological control, which is the use of living or...

Various exact tests for showing a di&erence between two treatments or the non-inferiority (therapeutic equivalence) based on the di&erence of two binomial proportions are compared. It is found that a frequently used test has to be applied with great caution due to its numerical instability. Furthermore, a test based on the score statistic can be recommended as a good compromise between a simple...

Lyme disease is a leading vector-borne disease in the United States. Although the majority of Lyme patients can be cured with standard 2-4 week antibiotic treatment, 10%-20% of patients continue to suffer from prolonged post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). While the cause for this is unclear, persisting organisms not killed by current Lyme antibiotics may be involved. In our previous s...

Administration of an antifibrotic agent as an adjunct to antihelmintic treatment with the objective of morbidity reduction was investigated in the murine schistosomiasis mansoni model. Antifibrotic, beta-aminopropionitrile treatment has a profound effect on the cellular matrix composition of the liver granuloma of Schistosoma mansoni infected mice when given alone, resulting in increase macroph...
