A Stability‐Indicating RP‐HPLC Method for Simultaneous Determination of Triclabendazole and Levamisole in Oral Suspension Formulation

International Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
A fast, simple, and precise stability‐indicating high‐performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for analysis of triclabendazole (TBZ) and levamisole (LEV) in oral suspension. Using a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile, methanol, and water (50:40:10, v/v/v), with the pH adjusted to 4.6 with 0.1 M phosphoric acid. The mobile phase

Spatial distribution analysis of bovine fascioliasis cases recorded in an abattoir in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil

Ciência Rural, 2021
: Fascioliasis is a zoonosis of global distribution caused by the parasitic trematode Fasciola spp. Infection in humans can occur in areas endemic for animal fascioliasis, suggesting the need for studies on this parasitosis and its determinants.

Seroprevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis Infection and Its Risk Factors in Pregnant Women Referred to Al‐Zahra Hospital in Guilan Province, North Part of Iran: A Cross‐Sectional Study From 2024 to 2025

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background In immunocompromised individuals, strongyloidiasis may progress to hyperinfection syndrome or disseminated disease. To date, the death of a pregnant woman infected with Strongyloides stercoralis has been reported. Chronic cases carry a risk of malnutrition, especially among vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children.
