The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in cattle and sheep from three municipalities Colombian Northeastern Mountain.Overall, 200 fecal samples were collected directly rectum sheep. presence helminths eggs coccidial oocysts detected using McMaster Dennis techniques. Identification or done on basis morphology size oocysts.The global GI 56.3%. Regarding by municipalities, there no statistical association (p>0.05), indicating that similar...
ABSTRACT Coccidioides posadasii is a fungal respiratory pathogen which responsible for recurrent epidemics of San Joaquin Valley fever (coccidioidomycosis) in desert regions the southwestern United States. Numerous studies have revealed that cell wall parasitic phase fungus reservoir immunoreactive macromolecules and potential source vaccine against this mycosis. A 495-bp fragment C. gene encodes putative wall-associated, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored...
Coccidioides posadasii is a dimorphic fungal pathogen which grows as filamentous saprobe in the soil and multicellular parasitic form host lung tissue. Studies of gene expression profiles during saprobic phase development can provide clues about morphogenetic regulation may lead to discovery molecular targets for novel antifungal drugs. Suppression-subtractive hybridization (SSH) quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT—PCR) were used identify quantify differential vitro growth...
Abstract Backyard pigs have been associated with poor sanitary conditions and the development of parasitic diseases, often causing public health food safety problems. Therefore, aim this study was to determine prevalence risk factors for gastrointestinal parasites in backyard pigs. 279 animals were sampled from thirty-two pig farms located Bucaramanga, Floridablanca, Giron Piedecuesta municipalities, Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area, Colombia. Fecal samples taken directly rectum processed by...
The identification of ticks using morphological characters is a well-established practice, however specimens that are small or damaged often difficult to speciate. A novel, rapid real-time PCR assay, which targets the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) region in nuclear ribosomal DNA gene, was developed for four tick species utmost medical importance United States: Ixodes scapularis, I. pacificus, Dermacentor variabilis, and Amblyomma americanum. Computational analyses public...
El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar la prevalencia Fasciola hepatica y otras parasitosis gastrointestinales en bovinos doble del municipio Sabana Torres, departamento Santander, Colombia. Se colectaron 196 muestras fecales sangre 18 fincas propósito. Los animales fueron estratificados tres grupos etarios: 0-12, 12-24 >24 meses. Las se procesaron mediante las técnicas coprológicas McMaster Dennis, presencia anticuerpos anti-F. determinó una prueba ELISA indirecto....
Specimens of the African snail Achatina fulica, collected in Bucaramanga, Colombia, were examined for parasites. Numerous specimens Caenorhabditis briggsae from digestive tract snails and identified by structure male spiculum, caudal bursa, gubernaculum precloacal lip males, triangular tooth metarhabdion, protandrous hermaphrodites with a female:male ratio 15:1 morphometry. DNA sequences ITS2 region ribosomal gene array worms this study matched 99% similarity to published C. briggsae. A...
In 2008, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) identified a 21.1% increase in reported invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). 2009, NJDOH piloted nucleic acid-based serotyping to characterize serotypes causing IPD. From April through September, received specimens from 149 302 (49%) case patients meeting our definition. An uncommon serotype, 10A, accounted for 25.2% IPD overall and was 12 counties, but it associated with one county (rate ratio = 5.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1,...
Introducción: la cefalea rinogénica es secundaria al contacto permanente de mucosa nasal y puede ser secundario a concha bullosa, si se infecta mucocele o mucopiocele. Caso clínico: paciente 34 años con hemicraneal izquierda, dolor periocular ipsilateral, congestión rinorrea hialina cambios en consistencia coloración del moco. En tomografía computarizada (TAC) senos paranasales (SPN) desviación septal derecha por bullosa ocupación líquido. Se sospecho secundaria, prueba lidocaína positiva....
Abstract Fasciola hepatica is a parasite with worldwide distribution that affects several mammals, including humans, and considered public health problem. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine prevalence in cattle sheep, as well evaluate factors associated prevalence. A total 185 serum samples from 290 cattle, 114 humans were collected processed using an in-house developed ELISA detect IgG antibodies against F. hepatica. Additionally, stool sheep examined Dennis sedimentation...
