Giardia duodenalis is a small intestinal protozoan parasite of several terrestrial vertebrates. This work aims to assess the genotypic variability isolates from cattle, sheep and pigs in Southeast Brazil, by comparing standard characterization between glutamate dehydrogenase ( gdh ) triose phosphate isomerase tpi primers. Fecal samples three groups animals were analyzed using zinc sulphate centrifugal flotation technique. Out 59 positive samples, 30 26 3 pigs. Cyst pellets stored submitted...
Blastocystis is a food and water borne intestinal parasite commonly identified in humans many other animals worldwide. Of the nine potentially zoonotic subtypes of Blastocystis, seven have been reported bird species. However molecular studies subtype diversity birds are limited. In this study, fecal samples from 109 domestic captive wild Minas Gerais, Brazil were tested for presence using PCR next generation amplicon sequencing fragment small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene. Birds 11...

Giardia duodenalis is a parasite of several mammalian species, including humans, distributed worldwide. This research aimed to identify the molecular assemblages/sub-assemblages G. and determine intra-assemblage genetic variation different genes assemblages A B in pre-school children cities Araguari Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The characterization followed β-giardin (bg), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) triose phosphate isomerase (tpi) protocols. Of 226 stool samples, cysts were found 45...
To estimate the frequency of anti-Toxocara sp. antibodies, and evaluate factors associated with this infection, sera from 242 male female children, aged one to fifteen years old, attended at Hospital Federal University Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were analyzed by ELISA. Information on patients was collected registered using an investigative questionnaire, details possible clinical alterations obtained medical charts 187 patients. Of a total samples, 21 (8.7%) positive for...
This study aimed at measuring intestinal villi and assessing the absorptive area in broilers infected with Eimeria acervulina under different treatments to control coccidiosis. The experiment was divided into two stages, carried out successive housings, raised same environment (or aviary). In first stage, on 25 May 2008, fifty 12-day-old birds were orally inoculated 3 x 10(3) oocysts of E. acervulina. second July other 50 allocated litter contaminated by feces housing (natural infection...
A total of 151 fecal specimens from chickens were randomly collected local markets in Uberlândia and Belo Horizonte the state Minas Gerais, Brazil, to evaluate presence Enterocytozoon bieneusi by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). was identified 24 samples (15.9%). This represents first report E. Brazil. All PCR-positive sequenced 4 genotypes identified, Peru 6, 11, Type IV, D. four have previously been reported as human pathogens are potentially zoonotic. Our results demonstrate that...
The chemotherapeutic agents used for the treatment of giardiasis are often associated with adverse side effects and refractory cases, due to development resistant parasites. Therefore search new drugs is required. We have previously reported giardicidal metronidazole (MTZ) its analogues (MTZ-Ms, MTZ-Br, MTZ-N(3), MTZ-I) on trophozoites Giardia lamblia. Now we evaluated activity some MTZ in experimental infections gerbils morphology ultrastructural organization Giardia. showed ED(50) values...
Toxocara and Toxascaris are parasitic nematodes that infect canids felids although species of the genus also humans. This work aimed to establish phylogenetic phylogeographic relationship between specimens T. canis, cati, malaysiensis leonina evaluate degree host specificity. In total, 437 samples (adults pools eggs) were collected from eight countries. Parasites identified by morphology, PCR linked Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) partial sequencing mitochondrial gene...
Necropsies in 50 cats, males and females of different ages were performed from August 2000 to December 2001.Forty five (90%) them had parasites.Eleven cats (22%) single infection, 34 (75.6%)multiple only 5 (10%) free infection.The parasitic frequencies as follow: Platynosomum fastosum (40%), Ancylostoma braziliensis (38%), Physaloptera praeputialis (34%), Aelurostrongylus abstrusus (18%), Dipylidium caninum (14%), Toxocara mistax canis (10%), Trichuris campanula (6%), Toxascaris leonina...
Studies have revealed high prevalence rates of Trichomonas vaginalis in men and women worldwide. In Brazil, where reporting is not mandatory, the true rate unknown. This study determined parasite attending public health units city Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, identifying possible risk factors for infection, also compared three diagnostic techniques detecting parasite. Samples vaginal secretions collected from 742 were analyzed by direct wet mount examination, culture smear test. Epidemiological...
