Over the past three decades, a notable rise in the occurrence of enteric protozoan pathogens, especially Giardia and Cryptosporidium spp., in drinking water sources has been observed. This rise could be attributed not only to an actual increase in water contamination but also to improvements in detection methods. These waterborne pathogens have pla...
Schistosomiasis is one of the most important neglected tropical diseases in Africa, caused by blood fluke, Schistosoma sp. The use of nanotechnology in the treatment of this type of disease is urgently important to avoid the unwanted side effects of chemotherapy. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of green silver nanoparticles (G-AgNP...
During the past thirty years, there has been a significant increase in the contamination of drinking water by enteric pathogenic protozoa, particularly Giardia and Cryptosporidium spp. Such microbial contamination has been responsible for disease outbreaks and increased background rates of disease in developed and developing countries worldwide. As...
Free-living amoebae species, such as Acanthamoeba and Vermamoeba
vermiformis are found worldwide and cause severe infections in humans. In
the present study, inlet and outlet water samples (n = 96) were collected from
conventional and compact drinking water treatment facilities (DWTF),
concentrated through nitrocellulose membrane filters (0.45µ...
In the present study, Calicophoron clavula (Paramphistomidae), a parasite of rumina of sheep and cows, was collected from Taif region, KSA, to investigate its identity and the prevalence of infection in livestock. Specific identification was mainly achieved by ITS molecular technique and surface ultrastructure was studied by SEM. Adult C. clavula i...

Seventy albino mice were infected with~ 80 S. mansoni cercariae and were classified into: GI: infected non-treated group, GII: treated with C. procera alcoholic extract after infection (thera-peutic), GIII: treated with C. procera aqueous extract after infection (therapeutic), GIV: treated with C. procera alcoholic extract before infection (prophyl...
Entamoeba histolytica (E. histolytica) is the causative agent of human amebiasis. As E. histolytica remains an important reason of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, it can cause up to 100,000 deaths/year worldwide. In this study, a survey was carried out on contamination of some common freshly eaten vegetables and their irrigation wa...
Due to increasing problems of the resistance associated with praziquantel, the drug of choice for treatment of schistosomiasis, alternative therapies were tried. The present work evaluated the effect of iron nanoparticles (iron NPs) on S. mansoni and B. alexandrina in vitro. The mor-tality rate of adults was observed after exposure during a period...

In vitro activity of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the plant Calotropis procera (6.25, 12.5 and 25 mg/L) have been applied against Schistosoma mansoni adult worms. The mortality of adult worms was observed after exposure to aqueous and ethanolic stem extracts of C. procera during a period of 48 hr. The ethanolic extract of C. procera (at 25 mg/...

Nanoparticles (NPs) have received more attention as antiparasitic agents. In the present study, silver and copper nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-rayfluorescence (XRF). The antiparasitic activity of Ag and CuO nanoparticles were tested against tw...
Al Madinah Al Munawarah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has one of the largest number of expatriate workers. Most of them are from Sri-Lanka, Indonesia, Philippines, India and Bangladesh. These countries are considered as endemic areas for intestinal parasites. A total of 2732 stool samples were screened for intestinal parasites. Positive cases were...
The whipworm Trichuris muris was recovered from the caecum of the wild rodent Psammomys obessus trapped from Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. The cuticular surface ultrastructure is described using SEM. T. muris is closely related to other Trichuris species but can be distinguished from them mainly by differences in the posterior end of males. Details of th...
The epidemiological status of cysticercosis, hydatidosis and dicrocoelosis in sheep and the production practices of sheep farmers that increase the risk of exposure of sheep to their infectious agents were studied in Al-Madinah, during 2011-2012. A total of 450 sheep and 1650 goats were inspected randomly at an abattoir survey and the prevalence of...
Triclabendazole is the drug of choice against Fasciola infections in humans and animals. However, parasite resistance against triclabendazole is spreading in veterinary field, and there are no drugs of comparable activity currently available for the treatment and control of fascioliasis. The efficacy of a new rhodanine derivative Ro-354 against adu...
In this investigation, the effects of Sidr honey, Nigella sativa oil (black-seed oil) and Sidr honey and black-seed oil together on the ultrastructure of tegument, gastrodermis and testes of adult male Schistosoma mansoni harbored in albino mice were studied. The tegument of adult male S. mansoni recovered from mice treated with various types of tr...
Ultrastructural changes in Schistosoma mansoni isolated from mice up to 2 weeks after dosing with 50 mg kg<sup>1</sup> body weight Ro-354 were investigated. The testicular follicles were completely disorganized. Signs of degeneration of non-germinal cells, vacuolization and swelling of spermatogonia, degeneration of spermatocytes and regression of...
The symptomatolgical and histopathological studies on the land snail, Eobania vermiculata( Müller) and the cutworm Agrotis ipsilon Hufengel infected with the snail parasitic nematode, Phasmarhabditis tawfiki Azzam indicated that this nematode has a direct effect on movements and feeding of both experimentally infected pests in addition to cellular...

The present work is the first ultrastructural description of mature spermatozoon of the monogenetic trematode Cichlidogyrus thurstonae recovered from the gills of the Nile fish Oreochromis niloticus. The mature spermatozoon of C. thurstonae is long and filiform with a nucleus, mitochondrion and a single axoneme, pressed tightly together for most of...
A heligmosomid nematode Boreostrongylus seurati, belonging to the subfamily Nippostrongylinae, is described and figured based on specimens collected from duodenum of Egyptian gerbil Gerbillus gerbillus (Olivier) collected in Giza and Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Both light and scanning electron microscopy were used to describe adult worms and their burs...
