| fasciola gigantica transmission in the zoonotic fascioliasis endemic lowlands of guilan, iran: experimental assessment. | the lowland flatlands around the city of bandar-anzali, at the caspian sea shore, guilan province, are an endemic area where fasciola gigantica appears to be the fasciolid species involved and past outbreaks affecting around 15,000 people and the highest human infection rates in iran have been reported. fascioliasis transmission in that area has been experimentally analysed for the first time, by means of assays of monomiracidial (group a: 120 snails) and pentamiracidial (group b: 96 snails) inf ... | 2014 | 25095734 |
| distribution of fasciola hepatica and f. gigantica in the endemic area of guilan, iran: relationships between zonal overlap and phenotypic traits. | fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease emerging in numerous parts of the world. in any endemic area, the characterisation of scenarios and patterns of infection must always be considered the starting point before implementing any control measure. fascioliasis is a parasitic disease of different epidemiological, pathological and control characteristics depending on the endemic area and the causal agent, fasciola hepatica and fasciolagigantica. classically it has been accepted that f. hepatica is pres ... | 2015 | 25602718 |
| phenotypic analysis of adults of fasciola hepatica, fasciola gigantica and intermediate forms from the endemic region of gilan, iran. | fascioliasis is an important human and animal disease caused by fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantica. in iran, the distribution of these two species overlaps in most areas, including the northern human endemic province of gilan where both fasciolids are simultaneously found in individual cattle and buffaloes. a phenotypic study of fasciolid adult flukes from naturally infected bovines from gilan was carried out by means of an exhaustive morphometric analysis using traditional microscopic mea ... | 2006 | 16901748 |
| comparison of adult somatic and cysteine proteinase antigens of fasciola gigantica in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for serodiagnosis of human fasciolosis. | fasciolosis caused by fasciola hepatica and fasciola gigantica is one of the major public health problems in the world and in iran. considering that stool examination for fasciola eggs is not a sensitive method and immunodiagnosis methods are more applicable for this purpose, so the present study was conducted to compare the somatic (s) and cysteine proteinase (cp) antigens of f. gigantica in igg-elisa to diagnose human fasciolosis. serum samples obtained from 100 individuals collected during th ... | 2003 | 12943979 |
