Malnutrition is a serious condition that develops when the human body deprived of or does not obtain right amount vital nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and some other essential substances needs to function. It can have significant impact on people's health including stunted growth, low weight muscle wasting. This study aimed determine factors could cause malnutrition in humans, something considered as major global issue nowadays associated with negative...

Abstract Cystic echinococcosis is a public health problem in developing countries that practice sheep breeding extensively. In the current study, protoscolicidal activity of biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) derived from Mentha longifolia L. leaf extracts was investigated. The resultant ZnO NPs were characterized by means various analytical techniques, such as ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction...

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a highly prevalent parasitic disease resulting from the hydatid cyst of Echinococcus granulosus. It also described as zoonotic and considered neglected tropical infection. Aim: This study assessed antiparasitic activity silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), against E. granulosus infection in BALB/c mice. Methods: The green synthesis AgNPs was accomplished using Zizyphus spina-christi leaves. were orally administered to mice for acute short-term toxicity...
