Mechanical Transmission of Protozoan and Helminthic Parasites by Synanthropic Flies in Sana'a, Yemen. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Nonbiting flies, particularly Musca domestica and Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, are widely recognized as potential mechanical vectors of intestinal parasites. This study investigated the role of these flies in transmitting parasitic organisms in Sana′a City, Yemen, where poor sanitation may facilitate such transmission.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections and Associated Factors Among Rural Ghanaian School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study in Tokuroano, Krachi East Municipality. [PDF]

Public Health Chall
Over 63% of schoolchildren in rural Ghana's Tokuroano area had intestinal parasitic infections, mainly Ascaris, Hookworm, and Giardia. Poor sanitation, unsafe water, and poor hygiene were key risks. Protective factors included home‐cooked meals and health education. Integrated deworming, sanitation, and education programs are urgently needed to address

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica is the only pathogenic species of the Entamoeba genus and is morphologically identical to E. dispar/E. moshkovskii (Entamoeba complex) hence cannot be microscopically differentiated. The other Entamoeba spp.

Aspects of Genetic Diversity, Host Specificity and Public Health Significance of Single-Celled Intestinal Parasites Commonly Observed in Humans and Mostly Referred to as 'Non-Pathogenic'. [PDF]

APMIS
ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

Comparative Analysis of Gut Eukaryotic Communities in Three Laboratory-Reared Cockroach Species Using Metabarcoding. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Cockroaches are known reservoirs for diverse bacterial microbiomes. However, comprehensive analyses of the eukaryotic communities within cockroaches remain limited. In this study, we selected three long‐term laboratory‐reared cockroach species (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta fuliginosa, and Periplaneta japonica) and performed metabarcoding ...

Differentiation of Korean isolates of Entamoeba histolytica from Entamoeba dispar [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1996
Cysts of Entamoeba histolytica are still found from humans in Korea, but not all of the cysts are known as pathogenic. The non-pathogenic strain is regarded as a different species, E. dispar. In this study, Korean isolates of conventional E. histolytica were subjected for the differentiation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment ...
