Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is an endemic parasitic disease and remains as a major health concern in southwestern Iran. The current study describes clinico-hematological, epidemiological therapeutic features of VL cases, admitted to university-affiliated hospitals, during 1999–2014 Fars province, A total 380 cases were recorded 16 years period, giving average annual admission 23.75 cases/year which 217 (57.1%) male 163 (42.9%) female. Mean age the patients was 3.7 years. majority (91.5%) ≤ 5...
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...
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection of humans and domestic animals caused by the larval stages cestode Echinococcus granulosus. one most important diseases in Iran, where human cases are frequently reported from different regions country. The objective this study was to determine sero-epidemiological surgical hydatidosis Yasuj district, region southwest Iran. Serum samples were taken 500 individuals attending health centers. Anti-hydatid cyst antibody checked enzyme-linked...
Diagnosis of hydatidosis is based on immunodiagnostic methods along with radiological and ultrasound examinations. The objectives the present study were to develop a specific simple antigen-based ELISA method for diagnosis compare it antibody detection method. subjects in this included 89 patients following groups: surgically confirmed (35 cases), control other parasitic diseases (29 healthy controls (25 cases). Hyperimmune serum was raised against hydatid cyst fluid rabbits. Anti-hydatid...
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite which can be transmitted to human through variety of routes including blood transfusion. This cross sectional study aimed evaluate the seroprevalence infection and related epidemiological features among healthy donors.A total 1,480 donors from five service centers in Fars province were analyzed for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies. Blood samples tested anti-T. IgG IgM antibodies by enzyme immunoassay. IgM-positive also presence DNA Polymerase Chain...
To assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of inhabitants an endemic area in Fars province toward cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). The study was carried out Lapui district province, south Iran, one the most important foci CL this province. Sample size (237 residents) calculated based on population. House-to-house survey done to collect data regarding inhabitants. head each household interviewed by a trained staff his/her KAP related CL. A semi-structured questionnaire used for...
The current study aimed to find out the morphometric and genotypic divergences of flukes isolated from different hosts in a newly emerging focus human fascioliasis Iran. Adult Fasciola spp. were collected 34 cattle, 13 sheep, 11 goats Kohgiluyeh Boyer-Ahmad province, southwest Genomic DNA was extracted PCR-RFLP used characterize isolates. ITS1, ITS2, mitochondrial genes (mtDNA) NDI COI individual liver amplified amplicons sequenced. Genetic variation within between species evaluated by...
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...
For serodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE), the usefulness three native antigens, a hydatid cyst fluid (HCF) obtained from infected sheep in China, two types antigen B prepared each HCF Iran and one recombinant B8/1 (RAgB), were evaluated by ELISA using total 155 serum samples Iran, Turkey, China Japan. Both Iranian RAgB had high sensitivity, but showed an excellent specificity comparison with antigens because none healthy people Japan became positive this except case taeniasis. The...
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....
Amphotericin B (AMB), with widespread antifungal and anti-parasitic activities low cross-resistance other drugs, has long been identified as a potent antimicrobial drug. However, its clinical toxicities, especially nephrotoxicity, have limited use in practice. Lately, nano-based systems the subject of serious research becoming an effective strategy to improve toxicity potency. Commercial AMB lipid formulations developed order therapeutic index while is mainly due their high cost. The review...
