Forty isolates of Trichinella collected from 5 continents were compared for 7 biological characters: newborn larvae produced per female worm cultured in vitro at the seventh, eighth, and ninth day postinfection, host muscle nurse cell development time, reproductive capacity index rats chickens, resistance to freezing. The also by analyses an environmental character location which they isolated: isotherms January July. By factorial analysis correspondence data, 40 grouped into 8 gene pools...
Allozyme analysis was carried out on 152 Trichinella isolates from synanthropic and wild animals humans; the were collected 5 continents. The analysis, involving 27 enzymes, revealed presence of 8 distinct gene pools, termed T1-T8. Four genetic groups represent 4 previously proposed species: spiralis sensu stricto (T1), nativa (T2), nelsoni (T7), pseudospiralis (T4). other 4, T3, T5, T6, T8 are described species. absence allozymic hybrid patterns among even sympatric indicates a lack flow...
Background:Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) is a rare severe adverse drug an associated mortality of 10–20%. Clinical worsening despite discontinuation the culprit considered characteristic feature DIHS/DRESS. Besides early recognition syndrome its causative drug, mainstay treatment corticosteroids. Nevertheless, DIHS/DRESS not well defined, as corticosteroids may sometimes be effective, decreasing dose flaring...
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease endemic in southern and eastern European countries. The true prevalence of CE difficult to estimate due the high proportion asymptomatic carriers who never seek medical attention underreporting diagnosed cases, factors which contribute its neglected status. In an attempt improve this situation, Register Echinococcosis (ERCE), was launched October 2014 context HERACLES project. ERCE prospective, observational, multicentre register...
The real burden of human cystic echinococcosis (CE) remains elusive, due to the peculiar characteristics disease and heterogeneous incomplete data recording clinical cases. Furthermore, official notification systems do not collect pivotal information, which would allow comparison different treatment outcomes, thus circumvent difficulty implementing trials for CE. Italian Register CE (RIEC) was launched in 2012 expanded 2014 into European (ERCE). primary aim ERCE highlight magnitude...
The natural history of cryptosporidiosis was investigated during a waterborne outbreak among 1731 members drug rehabilitation community in Italy; 19.6% the were positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Demographic and clinical information pre-outbreak serum samples available. Clinical data analyzed, stratifying study population by HIV serostatus CD4 cell count. attack rate 13.6% HIV-negative individuals 30.7% HIV-positive individuals, although latter, it varied according to symptoms...
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a worldwide zoonosis, is highly endemic in southern and eastern Europe. Its actual prevalence unknown due to the lack of efficient reporting systems designed take into account particular features disease. Neglect CE makes diagnosis clinical management difficult outside referral centres, with inconsistencies practice often unnecessary procedures carried out that have associated risks costs. The Italian registry (RIEC) prospective multicentre patients seen from...
Harmonised schemes are proposed for the monitoring and reporting of Cysticercus in animals foodstuffs European Union.The current disease situation national Member States is reviewed order to identify public health needs create a basis formulating sampling plans.The proposal focuses primarily on species most relevant health, namely Taenia saginata solium; addition multiceps be considered certain areas animal monitored cattle T. pigs solium.Current should continue based visual meat inspection...
Aims A retrospective study was carried out to determine the histopathological alterations of gastric mucosa associated with presence Cryptosporidium parasites in stomach. Methods and results Gastric biopsies from eight patients AIDS cryptosporidiosis were reviewed. Most individuals males (7/8, mean age 34.7 years) intravenous drug users (6/8), very low peripheral blood CD4 lymphocyte counts (< 150/mm 3 ; 56/mm ). Endoscopic examination showed no significant mucosal abnormalities half...
Background —Cryptosporidiosis has been shown to be a common cause of diarrhoea in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. There are very few data on the distribution Cryptosporidium parvum along gastrointestinal tract. Aims —To evaluate location parasites digestive tract patients with AIDS. Methods —Gastrointestinal localisation C was studied 71 AIDS who underwent upper and/or lower endoscopy biopsy for chronic diarrhoeal illness other disorders unexplained origin. Results...
