Abstract Chamomile ( Matricaria chamomilla L., Asteraceae) is one of the most important medicinal plants with antiphlogistic, spasmolytic, carminative, antibacterial and antimycotic properties. Thirty-one chloroplast markers were developed, optimised for high-resolution melting analysis. Subsequently, 23 M. accessions (247 individuals) complemented 2 individuals closely related species discoide...

background: leishmania is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite, which infects human be­ings when infected sand fly vector takes a blood meal.  most efforts are towards designing an effective vaccine to prevent leishmaniasis. in this way, development of candidate antigen for vaccine has spe­cial im­portant. in this study, we cloned mannose-1-phosphate guanyltransferase gene of iranian ...

background: characterization of leishmania parasites is necessary for epidemiological objectives such as documenting the distri­bution of predominant species and designing appropriate control measures. in this study, we aimed to identify leishma­nia species isolated from cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) patients, using rapd-pcr method. methods: this descriptive, cross-sectional study was designed a...

From the aerial parts of Tanacetum balsamita L. (Compositae) a flavonol aglycon was iso­lated using chromatographic techniques. The structure of this compound was determined using spectroscopic methods (UV, H-NMR and MS) as 3',4',5,7-Tetrahydroxy flavonol (Quercetin).

an inoculation of virulent leishmania major is known as leishmanization (lz) which is proven to be the most effective control measure against cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl). however, using lz is restricted due to various side effects such as uncontrolled lesion development. in the present research, the efficacy of cationic nanoliposomes containing cpg oligodeoxynucleotides (cpg odn) as an improve...

introduction: gp63 is a major surface protease of leishmania promastigotes that plays an important role in its virulance. as gp63 on its own can not develop an effective protection against leishmaniasis, the goal of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of gp63 conjugated with tetanus toxoid (tt) and vitamin d3 in susceptible balb/c mice against cutaneous leishmaniasis. methods: this...

Cyanophos is commonly used in Egypt to control various agricultural and horticultural pests. It is not easily hydrolyzed and thus they are highly persistent and accumulate in various aquatic compartments such as rivers and lakes. Such issues may be solved by phytoremediation, which is the use of plants for the cleanup of pollutants. Here, we tested Plantago major L. to clean water polluted with...
