Abstract Tapeworms of the species complex Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato ( s. l. ) are cause a severe zoonotic disease – cystic echinococcosis, which is listed among most parasitic diseases in humans and prioritized by World Health Organization. A stable taxonomy E. essential to medical veterinary communities for accurate effective communication role different this on human animal health. l . displays high genetic diversity has been divided into genotypes. Despite several decades...
Cystic echinococcosis is a severe zoonotic disease caused by different species and genotypes belonging to the Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) complex. Among these, G6 G7 are second most common cause of human cystic echinococcosis. One very first steps towards understanding epidemiology study their genetic host diversity, population structure phylogenetic relationships. For this, we sequenced near-complete mitochondrial genomes (12,850 - 12,856 bp) 72 new samples from eight...
The prevalence and distribution of intestinal parasites (IP) were investigated in children from twopopulations different socioeconomic level, located the same area city Neuquen, inorder to evaluate their relationship with habitat conditions factors. Serial samplesof faeces anal scraping 126 between 2 14 years two sectors suburbanarea Neuquen (Sector I Sector II) analyzed. Data concerning andsocioeconomic parameters obtained by home visits an observational structured survey.Presence IP was...
Abstract Cystic echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato is one of the most important helminth zoonoses in world; it affects both humans and livestock. The disease endemic Argentina highly province Neuquén. Considerable genetic phenotypic variation has been demonstrated E. granulosus, ten different genotypes (G1–G10) have identified using molecular tools. may be considered a species complex, comprised stricto (G1–G3), equinus (G4), ortleppi (G5) canadensis (G6–G10). In...
Abstract Most human cystic echinococcosis (CE) cases worldwide are attributed to Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto ( s.s ), followed by the G6 and G7 genotypes. While E. s.s. has a cosmopolitan distribution, genotype is restricted areas where camels goats present. Goats primary livestock in Neuquén province Argentina been reported be responsible for significant percentage of CE cysts genotyped. In present study, we genotyped 124 infecting 90 CE-confirmed patients. was identified 51...
Summary Objetivo Se determinó la presencia de huevos, larvas, quistes y ooquistes parásitos intestinales en suelo un barrio periurbano ciudad Neuquén durante año con el objeto evaluar sus fluctuaciones estacionales considerando los datos climáticos las características edáficas zona estudio. Métodos procesaron 107 muestras cuatro estaciones del para aislamiento técnicas sedimentación flotación. registraron meteorológicos se analizaron físico- químicas estructurales suelo. Resultados El 28,9%...
The white–spotted-I (WSP1) mutant of Drosophila melanogaster is characterized by the presence an 8.7 kb retrotransposon (B104) inserted in regulatory region white locus. frequency reversion both somatic tissue and germline after exposure to three different alkylating agents has been analysed. To determine if germinal revertants were induced precise excision insertional element we analysed several phenotypic using PCR Southern blot tecniques. results indicate that, under our experimental...
Transposable elements are disproportionately abundant in the heterochromatin of Drosophila melanogaster. Among forces contributing to this bias genomic distribution, fixation due positive selection has been put forward. We have studied I-related which located pericentromeric and believed a role control active I elements. Flies straight from wild where fixed expected emerge clearly over highly polymorphic background distribution transposable The results show that some restriction fragments...
Abstract It has been suggested that transposable elements can be associated with different types of genotoxic effects. For this reason it seems appropriate to outline suitable systems detect changes in the phenotypic expression loci containing elements, as well those agents induce such changes. The sex‐linked white locus offers a experimental system for studying events because most spontaneous mutations at are result insertions repeated mobile sequences, and is easy follow mutational due...
Background: The diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE), a worldwide zoonosis, is based primarily on epidemiology, imaging and complemented by immunodiagnosis. Results serology in human CE depend factors such as location genotype Echinococcus granulosus cyst. Serology no longer used our province due to previous poor results. Location cysts may influence immune response, since antigenic stimulus organ implantation. Antigenic variability between genotypes parasite could affect results...
