Three recent studies of Blastocystis epidemiology in mammalian hosts identified four novel sequences that appeared to share B. lapemi as the most similar sequence. However, full-length ssu rRNA gene were not available confirm validity these new subtypes. In present study, Nanopore MinION sequencing was used obtain reference for each Additionally, phylogenetic analyses and pairwise distance comparisons performed We propose described this study should be assigned subtype designations...
ABSTRACT New techniques are available for diagnosing leishmaniasis, but their efficacy in the identification of pediatric visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has not been compared with that traditional methods. Blood, bone marrow, and urine samples were taken from 25 children VL during first clinical episode, 22 days after start treatment liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg/day on 6 over a 10-day period), when relapse was suspected follow-up. The results obtained suggest antibody detection techniques,...
Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. are enteric protozoan causing gastrointestinal illness in humans animals. Giardiasis cryptosporidiosis not formally considered as neglected tropical diseases, but belong to the group of poverty-related infectious diseases that impair development socio-economic potential infected individuals developing countries.We report here prevalence genetic diversity G. children attending rural primary schools Bahir Dar district Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Stool...
We assessed the occurrence, genetic diversity, and zoonotic potential of four protozoan (Cryptosporidium spp., Entamoeba histolytica, dispar, Giardia duodenalis), one stramenopile (Blastocystis sp.), microsporidia (Enterocytozoon bieneusi), two ciliate (Balantioides coli, Troglodytella abrassarti) intestinal parasite or commensal protist species in captive non-human primates (NHP) their zookeepers from six European zoological gardens France (n = 1), Germany Spain 4). Faecal samples NHP 454)...
Background The flagellate protozoan Giardia duodenalis is an enteric parasite causing human giardiasis, a major gastrointestinal disease of global distribution affecting both developing and industrialised countries. In Spain, sporadic cases giardiasis have been regularly identified, particularly in pediatric immigrant populations. However, there limited information on the genetic variability circulating G. isolates country. Methods this longitudinal molecular epidemiological study we report...
Giardia duodenalis is one of the main enteric pathogens associated with diarrheal disease. In developing countries, giardiasis a major public health concern, particularly in children under five years age. This study aimed to evaluate occurrence and genetic diversity G. causing human infections Shushtar County, Southwestern Iran. Individual faecal specimens were collected from 1,163 individuals (male/female ratio: 0.9; age range 2–75 years) (n = 258) without 905) gastrointestinal symptoms...
Little information is currently available on the epidemiology of parasitic and commensal protist species in captive non-human primates (NHP) their zoonotic potential. This study investigates occurrence, molecular diversity, potential transmission dynamics a zoological garden southern Spain. The prevalence genotypes main enteric were investigated faecal samples from NHP (n = 51), zookeepers 19) free-living rats 64) by (PCR sequencing) methods between 2018 2019. presence Leishmania spp. was...
Background Intestinal helminths, including Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH), and Gastrointestinal Protist (GP) infections are major contributors to the global burden of disease, particularly in low-income countries such Ecuador. Their epidemiology these settings is largely unknown. Methodology This prospective cross-sectional study investigates carriage intestinal STH, GP asymptomatic schoolchildren (3–11 years) Chimborazo Guayas provinces, Single stool samples ( n = 372) epidemiological...
The ongoing increase in wild boar populations across Europe has fostered human-wildlife conflicts, including the transmission of emerging pathogens with zoonotic importance. Blastocystis is a ubiquitous, faecal-oral transmitted protist that can cause gastrointestinal illnesses and observed humans animals worldwide. role wildlife epidemiology insufficiently understood. Thus, we investigated occurrence subtype diversity free-ranging boars from Iberian Peninsula using conventional PCR...
Enteric parasites including Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., and to a lesser extent, Blastocystis sp. Enterocytozoon bieneusi, are major worldwide contributors diarrhoeal disease. Assessing their molecular frequency diversity is important ascertain the sources of infection, transmission dynamics, zoonotic potential. Little information available on genotypes these pathogens circulating in apparently healthy children. Here, we show that asymptomatic carriage G. duodenalis (17.4%, 95%...
Some enteric parasites causing zoonotic diseases in livestock have been poorly studied or even neglected. This is the case stramenopile Blastocystis sp. and microsporidia Enterocytozoon bieneusi Spain. transversal molecular epidemiological survey aims to estimate prevalence diversity of E. cattle faecal samples (n = 336) province Álava, Northern Initial detection was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Sanger sequencing small subunit (ssu) rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer...
Pet dogs and cats exert an unquestionable beneficial effect in the well-being of their owners, but can also act as a source zoonotic infections if improperly cared.We investigated occurrence, risk factors, genetic variability potential intestinal parasites attended clinical veterinary setting Spain.Canine (n = 252) feline 35) faecal samples were collected during 2017-2019 analysed by coproparasitological methods. A rapid lateral immunochromatographic test (ICT) was used for detecting Giardia...
Abstract Background Several studies have independently evaluated the occurrence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) and enteroparasites in swine, but no surveys been conducted to jointly assess prevalence genetic diversity pigs wild boars, their sympatric transmission between hosts, potential interaction with HEV. Methods We prospectively collected serum faecal samples from black Iberian domestic boars southern Spain 2015‒2016. for HEV faeces, presence ( Giardia duodenalis , Cryptosporidium spp.,...
Micromammals have historically been recognized as highly contentious species in terms of the maintenance and transmission zoonotic pathogens to humans. Limited information is currently available on epidemiology potential public health significance intestinal eukaryotes wild micromammals. We examined 490 faecal samples, grouped into 155 pools, obtained from 11 micromammal captured Spanish provinces for presence DNA Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, Enterocytozoon bieneusi Blastocystis...
Domestic dogs and cats can be a source of human infection by wide diversity zoonotic pathogens including parasites. Genotyping subtyping tools are useful in assessing the true public health relevance canine feline infections these pathogens. This study investigated occurrence, genetic diversity, potential common diarrhea-causing enteric protist parasites household Egypt, country where this information is particularly scarce.In prospective, cross-sectional total 352 individual fecal samples...
