They have a ubiquitous distribution and can sometimes cause quite serious pathologies in humans. The treatment ofp rotozoal infections caused by free-living amoebae is currently limited and often unsuccessful. In the presented investigation, amebicidal activity was determined against both the trophozoites and cysts of Acanthamoeba spp., which were isolated during the microbiological examination of environmental objects. The inhibitory activity of drugs in vitro was determined using the authors' proposed method, which is based on the plaque formation phenomenon: this is initiated by free-living amoebae when cultured in agar containing the bacteria Cellulosimicrobium sp. strain bent-1. Based on a series of experimental studies, the paper proposes a reliable and inexpensive method for determining the anti-protozoal activity of medicinal agents, which will significantly complement the current screening method system when studying existing drugs, or new drugs during their development stage.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":"70 1","pages":"15-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141465736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bite of female sand-fly transmits the causative agent, Leishmania spp., to humans. High toxicity, resistance and treatment failure of the available chemotherapy against visceral leishmaniosis demands the investigation of new anti-leishmanial compounds. Lupeol is a form of triterpene isolated from several medicinal plants and possesses an antimicrobial property. In this study, cytotoxic effect of lupeol was screened against the mammalian amastigotes form and insect promastigote form of Leishmania donovani, following three cycles of incubation at different concentrations by MTT assay. Results revealed the in vitro anti-leishmanial effect of lupeol on both forms of the parasite where significant decline in promastigotes and amastigotes growth was observed. This was conducted along three times of follow up (24, 48, 72) hours, in comparison to the classical sodium stibogluconate treatment. Cell viability was calculated and the minimum IC50 was detected after 48 hours for amastigotes and 24 hours for promastigotes, 12.125 μM, 102.78 μM, respectively. Given the severity of visceral leishmaniosis and the toxicity of conventional chemotherapies, the anti-leishmanial activity of lupeol suggested a promising compound for additional clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":"70 2","pages":"73-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141750858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess the performance of five RDTs (Standard Q Malaria P.f Ag and Standard Q Malaria P.f/Pan (SD Biosensor, Korea), One Step Malaria HRP2/pLDH (P.f/Pan) (Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co., Ltd., China), Malaria Pf/Pan (B&O Pharm, France), and Malaria test P.f/pan (Das Labor, Germany)) in two healthcare facilities in Abidjan. This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2022. Overall, 250 patients suffering from uncomplicated malaria were included with a predominance of female patients (56.6%). The mean age was 22.3 years (SD = 20.6; range, 0.17-73). Of the patients tested, forty-six (46) tested positive for thick smears, reflecting a prevalence of 18.5%. Plasmodium falciparum was the most commonly detected species (93.5%). The geometric mean parasitemia was 6,111.80 parasites/μl (SD = 80,026.93) (range: 116-412461). The sensitivity ranged from 95.24% to 95.65%, whereas the specificity ranged from 93.07 to 94.09% for all five tests evaluated. The false positive rate of the tests was less than 10%. No invalid test results were reported. Two-thirds of P. malariae cases detected by microscopy showed also positive results with all the RDTs. All five RDTs showed 100% sensitivity at low parasitemia levels (< 1,000 parasites/μl blood) including three cases of parasites < 200 parasites/μl blood. This study demonstrated the importance of monitoring the performance of RDTs in clinical samples.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":"70 2","pages":"81-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141970499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
