Angiostrongylus chabaudi (arrows) on the endothelium of right ventricle a wildcat in Northern Greece
In 2012, WHO/FAO ranked 24 foodborne parasites (FBP) using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) to provide risk assessors with a basis for prioritising control of highly FBP on the global level. One conclusion was that ranking may differ substantially per region. Europe, same methodology used rank relevance Europe. Of FBP, top-five prioritised were identified Europe as Echinococcus multilocularis, Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spiralis, E. granulosus, and Cryptosporidium spp., all which...
Abstract Improved methods for malaria diagnosis are urgently needed. Here, we evaluate a novel method named rotating-crystal magneto-optical detection (RMOD) in 956 suspected patients Papua New Guinea. RMOD tests can be conducted within minutes and at low cost. We systematically the capability of to detect infections by directly comparing it with expert light microscopy, rapid diagnostic polymerase chain reaction on capillary blood samples. show that compared exhibits 82% sensitivity 84%...
We report a case of autochthonous human babesiosis in Hungary, confirmed by PCR and partial sequencing the Babesia spp. 18S rRNA gene. Babesiosis should be considered during differential diagnosis febrile illnesses, peripheral blood smears to detect part routine clinical workup.
Acanthamoeba has a worldwide distribution in the environment and it is capable of causing painful sight-threatening disease cornea designated as keratitis (AK). Nowadays, cases AK have surged all over world along with its burden due to increasing use contact lenses used not only for optical correction but also cosmetic purposes. In our present work, epithelial abrasion 27-year-old female soft lens wearer was examined. Genotype identification carried out real-time fluorescence resonance...
Abstract Central-eastern Europe is an endemic region for cystic echinococcosis where multiple species of intermediate hosts are commonly infected with Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato tapeworms major medical and veterinary importance. Investigations the genetic variation 25 isolates from five countries (Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland) were undertaken using three mitochondrial DNA markers. The 18 pigs derived Slovakia Ukraine four human Slovakia, Poland identified as E....
Summary A 51‐year‐old female developed urticarial lesions of her right forearm which progressed into transient edema and subcutaneous swelling. Later a small infiltrated nodule also appeared was removed in toto. Histopathological examination revealed the presence Dirofilaria repens .This worm is cause an endemic zoonosis Mediterranean area. In past decade many cases have been reported worldwide, but condition appears rare Hungary skin findings not described.
Human trichinellosis was first documented in Hungary 1891 and then there were an increased number of reports up to 1964 when the most severe outbreak occurred. After that, no information available on international literature human which occurred from 1965 present years. The aim this study collect all data Hungarian official data-sources 2009 Hungary. Furthermore, a comparative analysis performed different serological tests used along 45 years investigation. In period question, 573 infections...
Acanthamoeba species are free-living amoebae that can be found in almost every range of environments. Within this genus, a number recognized as human pathogens, potentially causing keratitis, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, and chronic lesions. Soil water samples were taken from experimental station at Julianna Major Plant Protection Institute Centre for Agricultural Research, Hungarian Academy Sciences (CAR HAS). We detected living spp. based on culture-confirmed detection combined with...
Purpose: Cystic echinococcosis is the most prevalent reportable helminthosis and also a neglected zoonotic disease in Hungary. Still nowadays majority of cases are cystic (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus s.l. which known to be endemic central Southeastern rural parts The appearance multilocularis wild definitive hosts, such as Red fox was first documented Hungary 2002. Untill now, based on national serological data, 15 possible human alveolar (AE) this species have been detected....
Several trematodes that parasitize vertebrate animals utilize swimming aquatic larvae to infect the host percutaneously. The most important ones among these parasites are blood-flukes of birds and mammals comprising species also zoonotic. Within this latter group cause bilharziasis or schistosomiasis inhabitants tropical countries, other trematode able penetrate human skin, but do not develop an adult form worm in body. In temperate climates type infection occurs mainly unpleasant...
The transmission route of giardiasis not yet understood and why some infected individuals remain asymptomatic while others become quite ill. drinking water quality is supposedly responsible for the prevalence Giardia duodenalis infections in different areas, therefore has been investigated three supply areas Hungary: hundred stool samples from inhabitants Budapest, Füzér Mátrafüred were examined by immunological molecular methods presence G. infections. Individuals asked to fill out a...
Acanthamoeba species are free-living amebae that can be found in almost every range of environments. Within this genus, numerous recognized as human pathogens, potentially causing keratitis (AK). AK is a corneal disease predominantly associated with contact lens use, the epidemiology which related to specific genotype . This study reports seven (7/16; 43.75%) positive cases. Detection scrapings based on cultivation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined molecular taxonomic...
In a small village of Hungary, human trichinellosis outbreak (affecting eight people) occurred in January-February, 2009. the investigation (i) Trichinella spiralis larvae were detected meat products derived from pigs slaughtered backyard one patients (a foxhunter) December 2008, and brown rat captured same backyard; (ii) sera 24 held 11 yards that some dogs foxhunter found Trichinella-positive; (iii) five villagers who could not be infected particular also reactive Trichinella-specific...
Abstract In June 2015, an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis with 35 cases (23 probable and 12 laboratory-confirmed) occurred among 191 attendees a residential rehabilitation holiday for paediatric organ transplant patients ( n = 49) their families at hotel in Somogy county, Hungary. The overall attack rate was 18%. Most the were transplanted children who experienced severe acute disease required adjustment to tacrolimus immunosuppression. A retrospective case-control study suggested association...
Visceral leishmaniasis caused by L. infantum Nicolle 1908 (Kinetoplastida, Trypanosomatidae) is very rare in immunocompetent adults. Clinical manifestation of the infection occurs children and immune-compromised patients associated with AIDS, haemopoietic malignancies or after renal, liver, heart transplantations Europe. Hungary regarded free leishmaniasis. Except for a single small girl without travel history, only few imported cases have been recorded among Hungarians returning from...
