Summary Several studies have demonstrated that the soil of public parks presents an important source infection which has a significant impact on health. Children are main group affected by accidentally ingestion contaminated soil. This study was performed in order to identify presence zoonotic parasites dog and cat faecal samples from Madrid, Spain. Six hundred twenty‐five seventy‐nine (presumably dogs cats) respectively were collected 67 parks. Intestinal identified 27 (40.3%), contamined...
Microsporidia are ubiquitous parasites infecting all animal phyla and we present evidence that supports their zoonotic potential. Fecal samples taken from domestic (cats dogs), farm (pigs, rabbits ostriches) wild animals (foxes) different provinces of Spain were evaluated for microsporidia infection by light microscopy PCR. After species identification, E. bieneusi genotypes additionally studied sequence analysis the ITS region. Eighty-five out 159 exhibited structures compatible with spores...
Recent studies suggest the involvement of water in epidemiology Cyclospora cayetanensis and some microsporidia. A total 223 samples from four drinking treatment plants (DWTPs), seven wastewater (WWTPs), six locations influence (LI) on river basins Madrid, Spain, were analyzed spring 2008 to winter 2009. Microsporidia detected 49% (109/223), spp. 9% (20/223), both parasites found 5.4% (12/223) samples. Human-pathogenic microsporidia detected, including Enterocytozoon bieneusi (C, D, D-like...
The study of the burden that parasites can exert upon bacterial gut microbiota was restricted by available technologies and their costs. Currently, next-generation sequencing coupled with traditional methodologies allows eukaryotic (protozoa helminths) its effects on human diversity. This diversity be altered a variety factors such as age, diet, genetics parasitic infections among others. disturbances have been associated illnesses. Children population in developing countries, are especially...
Abstract Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis are the most relevant species of this genus for human health. Both cause a self-limiting diarrhea in immunocompetent individuals, but potentially life-threatening disease immunocompromised. Despite importance these pathogens, only one reference genome each has been analyzed published. These two genomes were sequenced using automated capillary sequencing; as yet, no next generation sequencing technology applied to improve their assemblies...
Abstract Recent studies have shown how intestinal parasites can modulate gut microbiota. This observation is not surprising since the human lumen, like any other niche, a battlefield of microbial competition, and Eukaryotes affect bacterial populations. Intestinal pathogenic protist has been associated with reshaping community structure; however, interactions between colonic communities Blastocystis spp., Entamoeba coli , Endolimax nana poorly studied. In this work, we studied distal...
Blastocystis sp., is an intestinal protist with a broad host range and high prevalence in human populations worldwide, even developed Western countries. The publication of conflicting evidence has divided the scientific community about pathogenic role this parasite. Even though, genetic studies on sp. revealed associations between genotypes different profiles. Conventionally, detection parasite based microscopic or PCR methods, which offer meager null performance detecting mixed infections....
Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal, anemia y desnutrición en niños un resguardo indígena Nasa Caldono, el Departamento del Cauca, su distribución según variables clínicas, sociodemográficas infraestructura sanitaria. Métodos: Estudio transversal con fuente información primaria. La muestra estudio estuvo formada por 62 a quienes se les hicieron evaluación parasitológica materia fecal, mediciones antropométricas para evaluar estado nutricional determinar diferentes...
HIV infection is still a public health problem worldwide and co-infections with other infectious agents including intestinal parasites are of particular concern, mainly in developing countries like Colombia.To conduct cross-sectional study patients attending an care program Antioquia given that there have been few prevalence studies among the population country.We evaluated stool samples from 192 by direct wet mount concentration, modified Ziehl Neelsen staining, agar plate culture....
Lynx pardinus is one of the world's most endangered felines inhabiting Iberian Peninsula. The present study was performed to identify presence microsporidia due mortality increase in lynxes. Samples urine (n = 124), feces 52), and tissues [spleen 13), brain 9), liver 11), kidney 10)] from 140 lynxes were studied. determination evaluated using Weber's chromotrope stain Real Time-PCR. Of analyzed, stains showed 10.48% 50% positivity samples, respectively. PCR confirmed that 7.69% 65.38%...
Cryptosporidium parasites are ubiquitous and can infect a broad range of vertebrates considered the most frequent protozoa associated with waterborne parasitic outbreaks. The intestine is target three species frequently found in humans: C. hominis , parvum and. meleagridis . Despite recent advance genome sequencing projects for this apicomplexan, genomic comparison including prevalent humans have not been published so far. In work, we downloaded raw NGS data, assembled it under normalized...
Multilocus Sequence Typing has become a useful tool for the study of genetic diversity and population structure different organisms. In this study, MLST approach with seven loci ( CP47 , MS5 MS9 MSC6-7 TP14 gp60 ) was used to analyze Cryptosporidium hominis parvum isolated from 28 Colombian patients. Five species were identified: C. felis meleagridis suis . Unilocus analysis identified four allelic families (Ia, Ib, Id, Ie) two (IIa IIc). There polymorphic behavior all markers evaluated both...
Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of waterborne outbreaks globally, and hominis C. parvum are the principal human cryptosporidiosis on planet. Thanks to advances in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) sequencing bioinformatic software development, more than 100 genomes have been generated last decade using metagenomic-like strategy. This procedure involves parasite oocyst enrichment from stool samples infected individuals, NGS sequencing, metagenomic assembly, genome computational filtering,...
Introducción: los seres humanos estamos expuestos a parásitos presentes en el medio que habitamos, lo puede plantear un problema de salud pública, especialmente países vías desarrollo como Colombia. La población más vulnerable es la infantil, comunidades condiciones socioeconómicas precarias. Objetivo: determinar prevalencia intestinales niños acuden templocomedoren barrio marginal Medellín. Métodos: octubre y noviembre 2007 se hizo estudio descriptivo transversal, mediante coprológico...
Objetivo Comparar las coloraciones Ziehl-Neelsen modificada (ZNm) y Safranina (Sm) en la detección de ooquistes C. cayetanensis muestras materia fecal . Metodología Se analizaron 100 que fueron evaluadas previamente por coprológico directo concentración, posteriormente se realizaron ZNm Sm para cada una muestras. Para comparación dos técnicas hicieron análisis estadísticos tomando como prueba oro el examen directo. Resultados encontró sensibilidad especificidad del 95 % 98 90...
