Application of target repositioning and in silico screening to exploit fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) from Echinococcus multilocularis as possible drug targets

Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design, 2020
Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are small intracellular proteins that reversibly bind fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. In cestodes, due to their inability to synthesise fatty acids and cholesterol de novo, FABPs, together with other lipid ...

Primary echinococcal cyst in Trapezius muscle: An unusual intermuscular hydatidosis and review of literature

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020
The primary hydatid disease in musculoskeletal position is not common, but maybe present in endemic areas. The human being is always an accidental host. We reported a 30 years adult male patient with trapezius muscle primary hydatidosis. He admitted with

Transcriptome analysis of Taenia solium cysticerci using Open reading Frame ESTS (ORESTES) [PDF]

, 2009
Background Human infection by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium affects more than 50 million people worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries. Cysticercosis which arises from larval encystation can be life threatening and difficult

Primary hepatic haemangiosarcoma in a pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract An 8‐year‐old, entire, female rabbit was presented in decompensated shock. Blood tests revealed a mild, highly regenerative anaemia (haemocrit: 24.6%; reticulocytes: 15.7%) and a significant elevation of alanine transaminase (183 IU/L). The radiographic examination showed widespread mineralisation of the entire abdominal cavity and a mass ...

Acute pancreatitis as a rare complication of rupture of hydatid liver cyst: review of 16 cases

PAMJ Clinical Medicine, 2019
Hydatid disease HD or echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The prevalence of this parasitic disease in Morocco approximates 2 to 3% in highly endemic regions such Atlas Mountains.

Variation in prevalence and intensity of macroparasites in moose and their interactions with winter tick load in eastern Canada

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

Pulmonary Parasitic Embolization Caused by Micro Ruptured Hydatid Cyst: An Autopsy Case

Düzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023
Echinococcosis generally remains asymptomatic for many years, but it can also be fatal if complications like cyst rupture or superinfection occur. It is highly uncommon for a macroscopically non-ruptured cyst to cause death, and its exact mechanism is ...

Efficacy of Essential Oils of Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare on Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of the present work was to determine the in vitro effect of T. vulgaris and O. vulgare essential oils against E. granulosus protoscoleces and cysts. Essential oils were added to the medium resulting in thymol final concentrations of 10 μg/mL. The

Testing non‐lethal techniques for endoparasite detection and sex determination in pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Developing non‐lethal techniques to estimate parasite infection is critical for studying disease ecology in wild animals. We tested the effectiveness of coelomic ultrasonographic examination and plasma enzyme markers to detect liver infection with bass tapeworms Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy 1887) as well as the effectiveness of ultrasound
