Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Microscopy of stool samples is a labour‐intensive and inaccurate technique for detection of intestinal parasites causing diarrhoea and replacement by PCR is attractive. Almost all cases of diarrhoea induced by parasites over a nine‐year period in our laboratory were due to Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium species, or Entamoeba histolytica detected by ...

Trigonometric Regression for Analysis of Public Health Surveillance Data
Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Statistical challenges in monitoring modern biosurveillance data are well described in the literature. Even though assumptions of normality, independence, and stationarity are typically violated in the biosurveillance data, statistical process control (SPC) charts adopted from industry have been widely used in public health for communicable disease ...

Global Distribution, Public Health and Clinical Impact of the Protozoan Pathogen Cryptosporidium
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 Cryptosporidium spp. are coccidians, oocysts‐forming apicomplexan protozoa, which complete their life cycle both in humans and animals, through zoonotic and anthroponotic transmission, causing cryptosporidiosis. The global burden of this disease is still underascertained, due to a conundrum transmission modality, only partially unveiled, and on a ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.Conventional culture and immunological methods of detecting bacterial water contaminants have some limitations. There are alternative pragmatic methods which are more efficient and faster in the detection of bacteria in water, especially nanosensors. ABSTRACT The complexities of microbial detection and conventional enumeration necessitates the adoption

Rapid Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitic Protozoa, with a Focus on Entamoeba histolytica
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive intestinal pathogenic parasitic protozoan that causes amebiasis. It must be distinguished from Entamoeba dispar and E. moshkovskii, nonpathogenic commensal parasites of the human gut lumen that are morphologically identical to E. histolytica. Detection of specific E.
