Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has altered both the epidemiology and outcome of enteric opportunistic parasitic infections. This study was done to determine prevalence species/genotypes intestinal coccidian microsporidial infections among HIV/AIDS patients with diarrhea and/or a history alternately an asymptomatic interval, their association CD4 T cell count. cross-sectional from May 2010 2011 in Shiraz University Medical Sciences, South Iran. A blood sample obtained...
Parasitic infections are still a significant health problem in rural areas developing countries including Iran. There is no recent population-based data about the prevalence of human intestinal parasites most The current study aimed to determine protozoan infection inhabitants Boyer-Ahmad district, Southwestern A total 1025 stool samples were collected from inhabitant 50 randomly selected villages Township. evaluated by parasitological methods including, direct wet-mounting, formalin ethyl...
Abstract Background Blastocystis sp. is a common intestinal protist that infects humans and many animals globally. Thus far, 22 subtypes (STs) have been identified in mammalian avian hosts. Since various STs are to animals, it was suggested some human infections might arise from zoonotic transmission. Therefore, the aim of this study assess presence domestic (dogs cats) synanthropic (rats) Fars Province, Iran, genetically characterize samples. Methods A total 400 fresh faecal samples 154...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) continues to be an increasing public health problem in Iran. Shiraz, a city Fars Province southwestern Iran, is one of the endemic foci CL. However, there no formal report endemicity CL rural areas Shiraz. To our knowledge, this first epidemic zoonotic area. The purpose study was examine epidemiological features three villages Shiraz and identify causative species using nested PCR with clinical direct samples. prevalence infection among 1000 inhabitants 23.2%....
<i>Background:</i> Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major problem in many tropical and subtropical countries. The clinical diagnosis should be confirmed by identification of the parasite biopsy or smear tissue culture. sensitivity direct microscopy not high, culture uniformly available successful. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sensitive test for detection low amounts DNA tissues. <i>Objective:</i> We applied PCR on paraffin-embedded skin biopsies to assess validity...
Over the last decade, incidence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has increased in many districts province Fars, southern Iran. Recent epidemiological reports indicate that asymptomatic human infections with Leishmania infantum (the causative agent VL throughout Mediterranean basin) occur more frequently Iran than was previously believed. Between 2004 and 2006, blood samples were collected from 802 apparently healthy subjects communities, north-west south-east Fars province, where cases had...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused by Leishmania infantum, is an endemic zoonosis in Iran. In recent years, infection cats has been reported several countries where present. The aim of this study was to survey and detect its causative agents VL areas Forty stray were captured from two endemic, Fars East Azerbaijan provinces. Infection with evaluated parasitological molecular methods. parasites detected 4 out 40 (10%). parasite isolated the spleen three liver one cat mass cultivated culture...
We determined species/genotype(s) of enteric microsporidia and coccidia causing diarrhea among 44 liver transplant children in Shiraz Nemazee hospital using acid-fast-trichrome staining polymerase chain reaction-sequencing techniques. Enterocytozoon bieneusi (genotype D), Cryptosporidium (parvum meleagridis) were detected 6.81% 11.36% the children, respectively.
Backgrounds . Wild rodents are reservoirs of various zoonotic diseases, such as toxoplasmosis, babesiosis, and leishmaniasis. The current study aimed to assess the protozoan infection in Boyer-Ahmad district, southwestern Iran. Materials Methods A total 52 were collected from different parts Kohgiluyeh province, using Sherman live traps. Each rodent was anesthetized with ether, according ethics working animals, dissected. Samples taken tissues stool samples contents colon small intestines....
Ghir-Karzin district is one of the most important endemic foci visceral leishmaniaisis (VL) in Fars province southern Iran. To identify vector(s) Leishmania this focus, a total 2,539 sand flies were collected during June to September 2005. Eleven species (six Phlebotomus and five Sergentomyia) identified, which papatasi Scopoli major Annandale first (37.4%) third (11.2%) common species, respectively. Natural leptomonad infections observed two P. (4.25%) three (6.65%) specimens on dissection...
We report a case visceral leishmaniasis with disseminated cutaneous caused by Leishmania tropica in southern Iran. Typing of this parasite was performed species-specific polymerase chain reaction and isoenzyme electrophoresis.
Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most prevalent form of worldwide. Although various anti-leishmanial regimens have been considered, due to lack efficacy or occurrence adverse reactions, design and development novel topical delivery systems would be essential. This study aimed prepare artemether (ART)-loaded niosomes evaluate their effects against Leishmania major . ART-loaded were prepared through thin-film hydration technique characterized in terms particle size, zeta potential,...
