neutral red supravital staining for cellular elements in the semen.	human seminal fluid besides spermatozoa often contains other cellular elements. a supravital staining method designed to differentiate the above mentioned cellular elements was described. amongst the spermatogenic cells only spermatocytes were stained with neutral red. they displayed two peculiar structures designated as "y" granules and "enigmatic body". neutral red was absorbed by the spermiophage cells and was concentrated by them in the form of cytoplasmic granules. in addition the coarse gr ...	1978	75699
a parasitological study on the chacma baboon (papio ursinus) from the northern transvaal.	baboons imported into rhodesia from the northern transvaal proved to be heavily infected with intestinal protozoa and helminths. in fact, six protozoan species, one cestode and eight nematode species were recorded. a new concept in "identification graphs" is included in the paper which allows one to read off directly the species of strongyle eggs being passed by baboons in southern africa based upon length and breadth measurements of the eggs. treatment of balantidium coli and nematode infection ...	1978	104037
[effects of mebendazole and cambendazole on enterohelminths in pigs].	mebendazole, administered at a dose of 30 mg active substance per 1 kg of feed, was found to have 100% effectiveness on ascaris suum and cambendazole, administered at a dose of 1.5 g per 1 kg of liver weight, showed the same effectiveness in the control of ascaris suum and oesophagostomum dentatum. the effectiveness of both drugs on trichocephalus suis and strongyloides ransomi was low. mebendazole and cambendazole can be recommended for mass dehelminthization of pigs in affected stocks. helmint ...	1979	111399

the prevalence of human intestinal protozoa in ibadan, nigeria.	this study shows that the two intestinal protozoa, giardia lamblia, balantidium coli in addition to entamoeba histolytica are prevalent in the ibadan population and are responsible for many of the non-bacterial diarrhoea seen in patients. a high seasonal prevalence of the intestinal protozoa in the dry months of the year was associated with the use of contaminated water. both the high infection rates recorded in adults and children under five years old, and the high frequency of association invo ...	1977	563477
effect of terramycin in balantidiosis of pigs.	in an industrial pig farm in lubumashi, zaïre, balantidium coli produced severe clinical and fatal disease. terramycin at a dose rate of 15 mg/kg body weight administered twice daily with concentrates gave clinical recovery in all the pigs treated. the complete parasitological recovery was obtained in 14 out of 20 animals. in the remaining 6 there was significant reduction in the number of b. coli. keeping in view the large spectrum of activity of terramycin in various infections as well as b. c ...	1977	596795

[cytophotometric analysis of trophozoites and cysts of balantidium coli].	in trophozoites and cysts of balantidium coli the contents of nucleic acids were compared, with the use of cytochemical methods. there is more rna (nuclear and cytoplasmatic) in trophozoites, but the content of dna is the same in both trophozoites and cysts. some morphometric parameters, allowing to compare trophozoites and cysts of b. coli, were obtained on the basis of cytophotometric determination of the cytochemical reactions' intensity and its computer analysis. these studies showed greater ...	1996	8967075
