| general survey of the present distribution of helminths in iran and comparison with those of past years. | in this paper the literature on helminthiasis in iran is reviewed and the distribution, prevalence and intensity of infections caused by helminths are discussed. a comparison of prevalence and intensity of infections was accomplished in the recent 10 years by the author. hookworm infections are found mostly in the north along the caspian sea, but its prevalence is declining. trichostrongylus are found in iran with a high prevalence in central country. schistosoma haematobium is found in one prov ... | 1976 | 8977 |
| schistosomiasis--cancer: etiological considerations. a review. | evidence for a causal connection between schistosoma haematobium-infection and carcinoma of the urinary bladder is discussed. a group relationship of schistosomiasis cancer to cancers as+sociated with asbestosis, foreign body implants, and cicatrization is suggested on the basis of several criteria. results of experimental foreign body tmuorigenesis in mice are presented and elaborated in relationship to schistosomiasis cancer. carcinogenic development at the cellular level is discussed with emp ... | 1979 | 43083 |
| parasites in bulinus senegalensis (mollusca: planorbidae) and their detection. | isoelectric focusing studies on enzyme variation between populations of the snail bulinus senegalensis revealed that parasitic infections in the snails contributed additional bands of enzyme activity, particularly in the glucose phosphate isomerase (gpi) and malate dehydrogenase (mdh) systems. the patterns due to the parasite enzymes were, in most cases, clearly distinct from those of the host and different from each other. parasites encountered included schistosoma haematobium, s. bovis, paramp ... | 1979 | 44358 |
| purified antigen radioimmunoassay in serological diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni. | a radioimmunoassay has been developed for detecting human schistosomiasis with a highly purified schistosoma mansoni egg antigen labelled with iodine-125. the antigen, major serologic antigen 1 (m.s.a.1), has striking immunochemical and species specificity and appears to be the principal antigen responsible for the granulomatous response to s. mansoni eggs. this 125i-antigen was tested with 5 microliter of patient serum as a potential serodiagnostic test for schistosomiasis. 92 control sera from ... | 1977 | 71599 |

| species specificity of the immediate hypersensitivity to schistosomal proteolytic enzyme. | an acidic proteolytic enzyme which digests host haemoglobin can be isolated and purified from schistosomes. this small glycoprotein is an allergen which sensitizes the host, as shown by immediate hypersensitivity reactions. these are specific for either schistosoma haematobium or s. mansoni and can be demonstrated by mast cell degranulation in mice or by intradermal skin tests in monkeys. although high levels of total ige may be found in acute and chronic schistosomiasis, there was no evident re ... | 1979 | 399332 |

| [experimental studies on the schistosomicidal activity of the aminobenzaldehyde derivative 80.647 (author's transl)]. | in a group of aminobenzaldehyde derivatives the 2-cholor-4-(1)-piperazinobenalazine showed to be highly active in golden hamsters (mesocricetus auratus), mastomys natalensis and capucine monkeys (cebus capucinus capucinus) against schistosoma mansoni, slightly active against s. mattheei and inactive against s. haematobium and s. japonicum. the d.c.m. in mice and hamsters was 50 mg/kg body weight after a single oral dose and 20 or 50 mg/kg body weight respectively when dosed once daily on 5 conse ... | 1977 | 404743 |
| the influence of physical factors on the survival and infectivity of miracidia of schistosoma manosni and s. haematobium i. effect of temperature and ultra-violet light. | the influence of temperature and ultra-violet radiation on the degree of activity, survival and infectivity of schistosome miracidia is profound. miracidia of schistosoma mansoni and s. haematobium were affect eaually. only miracidia classified as "active" or "slow" were capable of penetration, a capacity they retained for about 17 hours at 19 degrees c. miracidia that were "lethargic" as a result of low temperature, old age or ultra-violet radiation lost their infective capacity. the conclusion ... | 1977 | 405414 |

| [female genital bilharziasis. 1 case]. | in a swiss woman who had travelled in africa ovarian and tubal bilharziasis (schistosoma haematobium) was found by chance during laparotomy. in both sexes genital bilharziasis is nearly always caused by sch. haematobium and is a complication of bilharziasis of the bladder and intestine. genital bilharziasis in woman is found principally in the cervix and in the vagina, less commonly on the vulva and in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and rarely in the body of the uterus. | 1979 | 424717 |
| the significance of proteinuria and haematuria in schistosoma haematobium infection. | the intensity and prevalence of proteinuria and haematuria were studied with urinanalysis reagent strips in a gambian community in which the intensity of infection with schistosoma haematobium was high. the level of proteinuria present was shown to be related to the intensity of infection. follow-up for 12 months showed that infected subjects with heavy proteinuria had a good prognosis. these findings suggest that the urinary protein in such subjects is likely to originate from lesions in the bl ... | 1979 | 442186 |
| granuloma size in the liver of mice with schistosoma haematobium infection and schistosoma mansoni challenge. | swiss albino mice have been infected with s. haematobium and challenged with s. mansoni. s. haematobium infection in the mouse runs a course more or less parallel to that of s. mansoni infection. granuloma has reached a maximal size at 135 days post infection and has regressed thereafter. suppression of s. mansoni granuloma was observed in mice previously infected with s. haematobium. this manifests the presence of cross immunization. | 1979 | 442201 |
