Association between Opisthorchis viverrini Infection and Glomerular Disease in Thailand

American Journal of Nephrology, 2022
Introduction: Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) is a major cause of infection in Southeast Asia. Previous studies in mouse models have shown that OV infection can contribute to immune-complex glomerulonephritis (GN).

Characterization of the Opisthorchis viverrini genome

Journal of Helminthology, 1991
ABSTRACTThe methylations of trematode genomic DNA were analyzed using restriction enzymes and Southern blot hybridization. Restriction enzymes MspI, HpaII, HhaI were used to probe CpG methylation while MboI, Sau3A, DpnI were used for A methylation. The results revealed that Opisthorchis viverrini, Fasciola gigantica and Gigantocotyle siamensis had ...

Mast cell hyperplasia in Opisthorchis viverrini-associated cholecystitis

Parasitology Research, 2020
Despite significant advances in understanding the role of the immune response in Opisthorchis viverrini-associated carcinogenesis, little is known about how infection induces gall bladder disease. This study investigated whether mast cells are activated in cholecystitis associated with O.

Specific gravity of Opisthorchis viverrini eggs

Journal of Helminthology, 1998
AbstractThe specific gravity of the eggs of the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini was determined using a sucrose gradient centrifugation and found to range from 1.2713 to 1.3043. The peak egg count was located at the sucrose fraction with a specific gravity of 1.2814. An attempt to float eggs in saturated sodium nitrate solution, sp.gr.

Unusual protein pattern ofOpisthorchis viverrini

Journal of Helminthology, 1985
ABSTRACTThe proteins of homogenized adultOpisthorchis viverriniwere separated by polyacrylamide gel electro-Phoresis and isoelectric focusing in the presence of detergents. By far the most abundant component(s) had a Mr of 18,000 to 19,000, represented about 47% of the total parasite protein, and did not separate in isotypes.

Comparison of gene expression profiles between Opisthorchis viverrini and non‐Opisthorchis viverrini associated human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma†

Hepatology, 2006
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common primary cancer in the liver, and its incidence is highest in the northeastern part of Thailand. ICCs in this region are known to be associated with infection with liver flukes, particularly Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), as well as nitrosamines from food.

Anthelmintic activity and pathophysiological effect of anthelmintic drugs against carcinogenic liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini.

Tropical biomedicine
Human liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini poses a significant risk for development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in Thailand, primarily attributed to consumption of undercooked cyprinoid fishes.

Opisthorchis viverrini and cholangiocarcinoma in Northeast Thailand

Parasitology Today, 1992
Population-based research is beginning to show clearly the devastating impact that Opisthorchis viverrini infection has on the Laos-descendent population of Northeast Thailand who love to eat uncooked meat and fish, one of which being the parasite's intermediate host: cyprinoid fish.

Anthelmintic activity and pathophysiological effect of Allium sativum crude extract against carcinogenic liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini.

Tropical biomedicine
Opisthorchis viverrini poses a substantial risk for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in Thailand. Despite praziquantel (PZQ) remains the primary treatment for opisthorchiasis, its association with adverse effects and potential CCA development during prolonged ...
