Trichomonas vaginalis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted parasite worldwide. However, no surveillance system exists to monitor T. cases and drug resistance in Japan.Cervical cytology vaginal swabs were collected from women with without suspected symptoms of infection; these used for detection vaginalis, human papillomavirus (HPV), Candida albicans using specific polymerase chain reaction. Clinical isolates subjected metronidazole susceptibility tests previously reported minimal...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of several human conditions including abdominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia, all which are risk factors type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Dietary pattern well-recognized MetS factor, but additional changes related to the modern Western life-style may also contribute MetS. Here we hypothesize that disappearance amoebas in gut plays role emergence...
In vitro excystation of cysts microscopically identified Chilomastix mesnili and Retortamonas sp. isolated from Japanese macaques small Indian mongooses could be induced using an established protocol for Giardia intestinalis subsequently by culturing with H2S-rich Robinson's medium supplemented Desulfovibrio desulfuricans. Excystation usually began 2 h after incubation in medium. DNA was excysted flagellates 4 or cultured flagellates. Phylogenetic analysis based on their 18S rRNA genes...
