Amebiasis is one of the twenty major causes of disease in Mexico; however, the diagnosis is difficult due to limitations of conventional microscopy-based techniques. In this study, we analyzed stool samples using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) to differentiat...
Ectoparasites can transmit pathogens, including bacteria such as Ehrlichia sp., which trigger infectious diseases in domestic animals. Little is known about the epidemiology of feline ehrlichiosis, although several studies have focused on elucidating the pathogenesis and transmission of this disease. Thi...
Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi observar a ocorrência de larvas de mosquitos, em especial do Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus, no tanque e axilas de bromélias do Jardim Botânico Municipal de Bauru, São Paulo, Brasil, destacando implicações epidemiológicas do uso dessas plantas. A maioria de ...

ABSTRACT Parasitic isopods of fishes usually show wide distribution and low host specificity. This study investigated the occurrence of gill parasites in 120 specimens of spotted goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus, marine fish of great economic importance for fishery community. The fish were captured monthl...
ABSTRACT The community composition of parasites was characterized in Astronotus ocellatus from a tributary of the Amazon River, northern Brazil. The prevalence was 87.9%, and a total of 526,052 parasites were collected, with a mean of 15,941 parasites per host. Nine taxa of ecto- and endo-parasites were ...
ABSTRACT The parasites are indicative of several biological aspects of their hosts, including their diet, migration, recruitment and phylogeny, but they can also be direct indicators of the environmental quality. Hoplosternum littorale is a fish that has a high commercial value in some South American cou...

ABSTRACT Parasites are important components of communities and constitute great part of the biological diversity found in ecosystems, providing valuable information about their hosts and the environment in which they live. However, despite its importance, parasitic diversity is still not well known in so...
Introducción: La neurocisticercosis es una infección parasitaria del sistema nervioso central, ocasionada por la etapa larval del parásito Taenia solium. Su prevalencia mundial es de 9,1%. Se presenta a continuación un caso clínico en el que destaca una clínica infrecuente y tamaño de la lesión p...

Resumen Introduction: The diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections depends on the parasite load, the specific gravity density of the parasite eggs, oocysts or cysts, and the density and viscosity of flotation or sedimentation medium where faeces are processed. Objective: To evaluate the concordance...

Resumen Introducción. Actualmente se recomienda incluir en la dieta diaria verduras como la lechuga por su gran aporte nutricional; sin embargo, atraídos por tales beneficios, los consumidores pueden estar expuestos a infecciones con parásitos intestinales. Objetivo. Determinar la presencia o ausen...
