BACKGROUND: At present, there is little documented about the variability aspects of Entamoeba gingivalis (E. gingivalis) in relation to periodontal diseases. This is perhaps due to several specialists rejecting the notion that E. gingivalis can cause periodontal disease. AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the morphological and genetic...
Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) represent an important health issue in developing countries and are commonly associated with impaired immunity. This increases the susceptibility to various infectious agents including parasitic infections, which should be properly managed to avoid life threatening complications. This study assessed the feasibility of...
The variability aspects of Entamoeba gingivalis concerning periodontal diseases are poorly studied. The reason is that many researchers rejected the notion that it can cause periodontal disease. The current study aimed to compare the morphological and genetic variability within trophozoites isolated from diseased and healthy periodontal sites. The...
AIM: The current study aimed to assess the practicability of a simple loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) about real-time quantitative PCR to diagnose primary toxoplasmosis among high-risk pregnant women.
METHODS: Cloned Toxoplasma samples were used to calculate the analytical sensitivity while specificity was assessed using pooled DNA s...
BACKGROUND: Cryptosporidium is an important waterborne protozoan.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sunlight being the natural source of UV and artificial UV irradiation on Cryptosporidium oocysts versus the effect of chlorination, being the traditional method of water disinfection and to provide an insight into the viabi...
Previous immunological studies targeting cystic echinococcosis infection have focused mainly on the dominating Th2 cell response to benefit parasite growth and development. However, the status of the adaptive immune cells and their contributions to E. granulosus cyst progression remains inadequately understood, especially in sensitized hosts. The a...
