Abstract Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a serious tapeworm infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus ( sensu lato ) which infects wide range of animals and humans worldwide. Despite the millions livestock heads reared in Pakistan, only few reports on CE prevalence even fewer genetic diversity are available for country. Meanwhile, predominantly based short sequences cox 1 gene. Methods To close this knowledge gap, study was designed to investigate population structure spp....
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by cestodes of Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato) complex. In Nigeria, reports on the prevalence CE, although limited, have been found to vary with location and host higher fertility rate observed in camels than other livestock. Until now, information regarding molecular characteristics, genetic population structure, genotypes lacking. Therefore, this study was aimed at addressing these gaps knowledge. We describe status 31 isolates collected...
Cysticercosis caused by the metacestode larval stage of Taenia hydatigena is a disease veterinary and economic importance. A considerable level genetic variation among isolates different intermediate hosts locations has been documented. Generally, data on population structure T. scanty lacking in Nigeria. Meanwhile, similar findings other cestodes like Echinococcus spp. have found to be epidemiological Our aim, therefore, was characterize compare diversity Nigeria based three mitochondrial...
Abstract Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE) in humans and livestock is caused by Echinococcus granulosus ( sensu lato ). In China where CE endemic, a number of studies have shown that stricto ) majorly responsible for CE. However, E. canadensis (G6) which the second leading cause now being detected most parts country. this study, species diversity genetic variation s.l. four counties Tibet Autonomous Region were investigated. Methods Infection with s.s. yaks sheep was identified using...
Abstract Background Taenia hydatigena , T. multiceps pisiformis and Dipylidium caninum are four common large medium-sized tapeworms parasitizing the small intestine of dogs other canids. These parasites cause serious impact on health development livestock. However, there are, so far, no commercially available molecular diagnostic kits capable simultaneously detecting all in dogs. The aim study was therefore to develop a multiplex PCR assay that will accurately detect cestode infections one...
Trichinella infection has been identified to induce macrophages into alternatively activated phenotype, which are primarily associated with the development of a polarized Th2 immune response. In present study, we examined immunomodulatory effect T. spiralis thioredoxin peroxidase-2 (TsTPX2), protein derived from ES products, in regulation response through directly activing macrophages, and evaluated potential TsTPX2 as vaccine candidate against infection. The location was detected by...
The cestode <i>Taenia hydatigena</i> uses canids, primarily dogs, as definitive hosts, while the metacestode larval stage cysticercus infects a range of intermediate including domestic animals such goats, sheep, and pigs. Cysticercosis due to <i>T. has large veterinary economic drawbacks. Like other taeniids, e.g., <i>Echinococcus</i>, intraspecific variation is found among members genus Taenia. In Africa, few studies are available on epidemiology distribution...
Schoolchildren in primary schools are mostly at risk of acquiring soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) infections due to their habits (geophagy, onychophagy and playing with barefoot). Profiling soil parasites on school playgrounds is expected provide an insight array schoolchildren constantly acquiring; this information could guide intervention programmes. Soil samples from sixteen Edo State (South-South, Nigeria) were collected over a six-month period both the dry (January, February March)...
The Cyclophyllidea comprises the most species-rich order of tapeworms (Platyhelminthes, Cestoda) and includes species with some severe health impact on wildlife, livestock, humans. We collected seven specimens from rodents in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) its surrounding mountain systems, which four QTP were unsequenced, representing "putative new species." Their complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes sequenced annotated. Phylogenetic reconstruction partial 28S rDNA, cox1 nad1 datasets provided...
In the present study, a new species of genus Moniliformis is described taxonomically in mitochondrial genomic context. The parasite was found plateau zokor captured high-altitude area Xiahe County Gansu Province, China. (mt) genome length this 14,066 bp comprising 36 genes and 2 additional non-coding regions (SNR LNR), without atp8. molecular phylogeny inferred by cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (cox1) the18S ribosomal RNA (18S rDNA) sequences showed that as sister to other spp. named...
Abstract Background Cystic or alveolar echinococcosis caused by the larval stages of Echinococcus spp. is a very severe zoonotic helminth infection. shiquicus newly discovered species that has only been reported in Qinghai and Sichuan provinces Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China where, to date, it confirmed Tibetan foxes wild small mammal populations plateau. Information on its genetic evolutionary diversity scanty. The aim this study was investigate prevalence E. plateau pikas ( Ochotona...
