| [survey of helminthic infections and treatment of taenia species infection among the aborigines in chien-shih district, hsin-chu county, northern taiwan]. | six hundred and sixteen out of 770 (80%) aborigines examined were found to be infected with intestinal helminthes. a total of 7 species of parasites were detected with the formalin-ether concentration technique. the infection rate of ascaris lumbricoides was 77.1%, trichuris trichiura 28.8%, taenia sp. 18.4%, enterobius vermicularis 1.6%, and there was one case each of hookworm, hymenolepis nana and h. diminuta infections. infection rate was slightly higher among females (81.3%) than males (78.9 ... | 1985 | 4042757 |
| imported opisthorchis viverrini and parasite infections from thai labourers in taiwan. | in order to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites among labourers from thailand in taiwan, the stool samples from 1364 thai labourers were examined by the formalin-ether concentration method and 18.0% were found to be infected with one or more parasites. the infection rates of hookworm, opisthorchis viverrini, strongyloides stercoralis, enterobius vermicularis, ascaris lumbricoides, hymenolepis nana, capillaria philippinensis, schistosoma japonicum, echinostoma sp., entamoeba coli, gi ... | 1993 | 8354853 |
| intestinal parasites among the southeast asian laborers in taiwan during 1993-1994. | a large number of foreign laborers are now working in taiwan, the majority coming from southeast asia where parasitic infections are common. since 1992, monitoring the intestinal parasitic infections of these foreigners has been carried out, particularly to prevent the introduction of some of the parasites into taiwan. this paper reports results obtained during the year 1993-1994. | 1996 | 8803301 |

| diagnosis of schistosomiasis using recombinant fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase from a formosan strain of schistosoma japonicum. | schistosoma japonicum obtained from taiwan is a zoophilic strain that only infects domestic and small animals. recombinant fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (fbpa) derived from this strain was used as an antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for the diagnosis of human schistosomiasis. the full-length dna sequence of fbpa was found to be 1092 bp, encoding a protein of 363 amino acid residues, with a molecular mass of 39.6 kda. a total of 120 participants were recruited from chi ... | 2009 | 19079948 |
