Clinically, myiasis may be classified as cutaneous, atrial, wound, intestinal, or urinary, depending on the location of the fly larvae. Intestinal myiasis due to the larvae of th...

A branched chain aminotransferase from Thermoproteus tenax has been identified, cloned, over-expressed and biochemically characterised. molecular modelling approach used to predict the 3D structure allowing its comparison with other related enzymes. This enzyme high similarity a previously characterised uzoniensis however substrate specificity shows key differences towards α-ketoglutarate. Exam...

A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to detect the sexually-transmitted parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal swabs. The presence of T. vaginalis was detected from 121 female sex workers attending a social hygiene clinic in Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines using culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the developed LAMP assay. The high anal...
