Toxoplasmosis is a well-known zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii. The main causes of the range from eating undercooked or contaminated meat and shellfish to cleaning litter trays into which cats that excreted toxoplasma via faeces. This pathogen can live for very long time, possibly lifetime, within bodies humans other animals.This study aimed predict analyse candidate immunogenic epitopes vaccine development evaluating physio-chemical properties, multiple sequence alignment,...

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is an important zoonotic diseases caused by larval form of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. The material this study was the gray wolf (Canis lupus), which found dead in rural area Bingol province Turkey. animal brought to Veterinary Faculty for necropsy and many adult spp. obtained. A total 9 whole worms were morphologically examined under microscope, gDNA isolated from individual samples, a partial mt-CO1 gene fragment (875 bp) amplified with PCR sequenced....

Larval stage of genus Echinococcus is the causing agent for zoonotic infection which life threatening known as Echinococcosis. The purpose this study was identification, molecular analysis and characterization spp. in sheep cattle. sampling done from slaughterhouse Elazig, Turkey. A total 85 isolates (sheep, n = 19 cattle, 66) have been collected after slaughtering. Following gDNA isolation PCR products mt-CO1 gene (446 bp) all samples were sequenced. Out isolates, 84 recognized granulosus...

Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) causes cystic echinococcosis in ungulates and humans. The current study was designed to find the genetic diversity haplotypic profiles of hydatid cysts from lungs cattle three provinces eastern Turkey. Individual cyst isolates (n = 60) were collected infected after slaughter then samples stored ethanol (70%) until further use. From each isolate, total gDNA extracted cysts’ germinal layers. A partial (875 bp) mt-CO1 gene amplified by PCR sequenced...

Cancer is a life-threatening disease that occurs as result of the uncontrolled proliferation cells in any organ or tissue body. Parasites are dangerous organisms can cause death some cases. Parasite and cancer similar their capacity to survive proliferate independently exogenous growth factors, be resistant apoptosis, evade host immune mechanisms. Therefore, it difficult for body completely get rid parasitic agents. In vitro studies experimental animal examining parasite-cancer relationship...
