This research was carried out to describe the epidemiological status of cutaneous leishmaniosis during 2011-2018 years in Bushehr province. Total, 929 cutaneous leishmaniosis patients were registered in the Bushehr province during this period. Data analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 22. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The highest frequency was related to the age group of 1-10 years (35.1%). The patients consist (60.4%) males and (39.6%) females. The highest and lowest rates of disease were found in 2011 (16.3%) and 2017 (6.6%), respectively, and in January (16.6%) and September (3.2%), respectively. In terms of the ulcer number, (51%) of the cases had one ulcer, and (23%) had (3-5) ulcers. Dry ulcers made up (68.2%) of ulcers, while the wet ulcers made up (31.8%). The hands had accounted for (37%) of ulcers, the face for (25%), and the feet for (21%). Age of cases was significantly associated with the number and site of ulcers (P<0.001). As well, there was a significant relationship between gender and the number of ulcers (P<0.035). This eight-year study confirmed that in Iran, Bushehr province is one of the endemic areas for the cutaneous leishmaniosis. The increase in the patients in 2018, despite its decrease in previous years, is an alert for coming years. Effective disease prevention, control, and treatment measures are essential. Furthermore, the children, who are a vulnerable population, need the special care and treatment.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":" ","pages":"305-316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40578724","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 samples were subjected to sedimentation and modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining techniques. All the types of fruits and vegetables sampled were contaminated with one or more parasites. Eleven different species of zoonotic parasites (6 protozoans and 5 helminths) were detected. Entamoeba coli (39.8%) and Strongyloides stercoralis (9.6%) were the most prevalent protozoan and helminth respectively. The prevalence of other protozoan parasites ranged between 21.3% (Entamoeba histolytica) and 2.3% (Balantidium coli), while that of helminths was between 5.7% (Ascaris lumbricoides) and 2.1% (Trichuris trichiura). Source of fruits and vegetables, source of manure for cultivation, the source of water for washing/wetting purpose, market type, washing of fruits and vegetables before display, the presence of children at home and in the market, and knowledge of parasitic contamination were the risk factors associated (P<0.05) with parasitic contamination of fruits and vegetables among sellers.

The scolicidal activities of the extracts were tested at different concentrations following incubation periods of 10, 30 and 60 min.

In this connection the aim of the present work was to update the data on the composition and distribution of endoparasites of this small mammal in Bulgaria against the background of the situation in Europe. Thirty sets of abdominal organs and forty seven faecal samples of hares from different regions of the country were investigated for presence of parasites. The faeces were analyzed with the coproscopical methods of Fulleborn, serial sedimentations, and the modified Baermann technique. Helminthological necropsies of the abdominal organs were carried out through the common technique. Parasites of the following taxa were established: Trematoda (Dicrocoelium dendriticum), Cestoda (Cysticercus pisiformis, Mosgovoyia pectinata), Nematoda (Trichuris sylvilagi, Strongylidae, Strongyloides sp., Protostrongylus spp.), Protozoa (Eimeria spp.) and Arthropoda (Pentastomum dentatum). Strongyloides sp. is reported for the first time as a part of the parasite fauna of the European brown hare in Bulgaria. Trichuris sylvilagi was the most prevalent parasite (63.3%), followed by gastrointestinal strongylids (57.43%), Eimeria spp. (55.3%), Protostrongylus spp. and Strongyloides sp.

This study aimed to understand the dispersal and density index of Aedes mosquitoes among storey buildings at the campus of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among four of nine-storey buildings. Eight ovitraps were placed in each storey to collect the mosquito eggs by placing them along the building corridor and near the toilet rooms. Ovistrip from each ovitrap was collected every three days, and the attached mosquito eggs were observed and counted under a microscope in the laboratory to calculate the density index. Aedes mosquitoes were found in all buildings up to the highest storey where the Ovitrap Index (OI) is the opposite of height, while the Eggs Density Index (EDI) differs according to the location of the building. OI at the 1st and 4th floor ranged between 63-100% and 38-50%. Eggs density was associated with the light intensity and air temperature. Two Aedes species were identified where Aedes aegypti was more dominant than Aedes albopictus. All high-rise buildings are exposed to Aedes mosquitoes, thus opening up opportunities for dengue virus transmission. Further study is necessarily conducted to understand the inter-storeys migration pathway of mosquitoes, preference habitats, and the highest storey exposed for control.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":"68 4","pages":"727-735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10278661","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 skin is the initial organ to be infected by the Leishmania in cutaneous, mucocutaneous and visceral forms of leishmaniosis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the protease activity through zymography in cell extracts and extracellular secretions of L. major, L. tropica and L. infantum as three prevalent Leishmania spp. in Iran. The three Leishmania spp. were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with fetal calf serum. Promastigotes and axenic amastigotes were harvested and lysed at various phases, and extracellular secretions and cell extracts were collected. Leishmania spp. were proved by targeting kDNA gene. Enzymes were characterized according to gelatin zymography and sensitivity to distinct proteinase inhibitors. We observed proteinase bands with molecular weights (MWs) between 66 to 180 kDa in cellular extracts of axenic amastigotes of L. infantum, L. tropica, and L. major, and from 66 to 92 kDa in extracellular secretions of L. infantum. No proteinase activities were observed in extracellular secretions of axenic amastigotes and in cellular extracts of promastigotes in logarithmic and stationary phases of L. major and L. tropica. Using specific inhibitors, we determined that these proteolytic activities are due to metalloproteases. Our study demonstrated that amastigotes of all three Leishmania spp. have distinct amounts of proteinase activities and therefore can cause various types of lesions and outcomes of the disease.","PeriodicalId":7987,"journal":{"name":"Annals of parasitology","volume":"68 3","pages":"569-585"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10537618","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}
