A clinical and biologic study was conducted in Morocco to assess the efficiency of antivenom therapy for treating victims scorpion stings. Epidemiologic data were collected from 275 patients envenomed by Androctonus mauretanicus Buthus occitanus scorpions. Patients received or other drugs. Blood samples at time hospital admission 1 hr 3 after treatment. Serum venom levels quantified using an ELISA. An association found between signs envenoming level serum. classified as grade II (moderate...
Leishmaniasis is considered among the main endemic diseases in Morocco. However, further knowledge about epidemiological aspects of this disease needed several provinces to plan control and preventive strategies tackle disease. The present study aims determine aspect cutaneous visceral leishmaniasis Taza Province from 2007–2014 identify circulating species province. temporal 2007 2014 showed that number cases increased since 2010. During period study, most were detected both urban rural...
The Moroccan Health Ministry launched a Process of Eliminating Schistosomiasis in 1994. During 2005–2009, the epidemiologic status showed clear interruption disease transmission at national level; only few residual cases were recorded. Our present study is first systematic serologic survey to evaluate remaining disease-endemic foci. A population 2,382 children born after date last autochthonous selected from provinces with histories high schistosomiasis (Tata, Chtouka Ait Baha, Errachidia,...
Cutaneous leishmaniases (CL) are endemic in Morocco. They common the human population different localities such as Aichoun Sefrou province, This study was carried out locality from April to October 2012 order spatiotemporal trends of main Leishmania phlebotomine vectors this focus. Overall, 1171 sand flies, belonging four species, were collected by sticky traps. Phlebotomus sergenti predominant species (78.4%) followed Ph. perniciosus (10.5%), papatasi (7.94%), and longicuspis (3.16%)....
This is the first study in Morocco to estimate snail infection rates at last historic transmission sites of schistosomiasis, known be free from new among humans since 2004. Screening large numbers snails for one way confirm that Schistosoma haematobium has stopped and does not resurge. A total 2703 Bulinus truncatus were collected 24 habitats five provinces Morocco: Errachidia, El Kelaa des Sraghna, Tata, Beni Mellal, Chtouka Ait Baha. All visible with a scoop net or by hand. We used waders...
Aims:The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the antileishmanial activities organic extracts (methanol, n-hexane and dichloromethane extract) from Salvia clandestina (Lamiaceae) used Moroccan medicinal plant.Study Design: Evaluation activity determination phenolic contents.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Morocco is caused by three species, Leishmania major, L. tropica and infantum. CL has been known Chichaoua province since 2000. Using DNA extracted from microscopic slides parasite cultures, collected the years 2006 2009, we identified for first time as causative agent of this region. Species identification was achieved performing ITS1-PCR-RFLP approach. By using method it possible to identify parasites Giemsa stained containing less than five per...
In Morocco, Leishmania infantum species is the main causative agents of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). However, cutaneous (CL) due to L. has been reported sporadically. Moreover, recent geographical expansion in Mediterranean subregion leads us suggest whether nonsporadic cases CL this are present. context, review written establish a retrospective study and northern Morocco between 1997 2018 also conduct molecular identify circulating responsible for leishmaniases region. Data concerning were...
In Errachidia province, the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has increased over past decade and it was higher in 2010 (860.34 per 100,000 inhabitants), with 3445 cases. The number cases declined sharply decreased from to 8 2014 following control action plan interventions. total patients diagnosed only on clinical basis lesions were considered caused by L. major. epidemiological study conducted between 2001 molecular detection CL studied identify circulating parasite species this...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is widely distributed in Morocco where its geographical range and incidence are related to environmental factors. This study aimed examine the impact of several factors on distribution CL Boulemane Province, which characterized by microclimates, identify Leishmania species circulating these areas.Ordinary least squares regression (OLSR) analysis was performed poverty, vulnerability, population density, urbanization bioclimatic this province. Molecular...
Human leishmaniasis, both visceral and cutaneous, has been reported in Morocco for centuries constitutes a serious public health problem. However, the evolution of this pathology depends on several factors such as ecological, socioeconomic, climatic conditions. The risk study affected foci is great value control surveillance endemic disease, especially provinces where Leishmania infantum predominates.This concerned nine located extreme central north (Taounate, Taza, Chefchaouen, Al Hoceima,...
Morocco had reached the level of schistosomiasis elimination 16 years ago. However spread freshwater snails in several breeding sites, and imported schistosome infection, still exist. Therefore, snail survey is a crucial component to sustain progress. This study aimed evaluate incorporate DraI/Sh73 PCR, for detecting early prepatent Schistosoma haematobium infection host, into epidemiologic surveillance schistosomiasis, particularly reportedly eliminated foci where S.bovis overlaps with S....
