The Parasites of Cats in T ürkiye
Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2023 Sep 18;47(3):190-199. doi: 10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.85698.ABSTRACTCats have an important and different place due to their close relationships with humans. Since most of the parasites they carry are zoonotic, it is important to detect them. According to the research, Dipylidium caninum, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Toxocara spp., Toxascaris leonina, Giardia spp., Isospora spp., and Toxoplasma sp. were found to be higher in cats compared to other parasites. It has been determined that scabies and flea infestations are common as ectoparasites. This review aims to present the reported parasites and their...

A Parasitological Examination on Aquarium Fish Sold in Petshops in K ırıkkale
CONCLUSION: The importance of the present study is that highest number of parasite species were detected in aquarium fish sold in pet shops in Türkiye. The aquarium owners should pay attention to the cleanliness of the aquarium water in order to reduce the rate of parasitic infection in fish; when new fish are purchased, they should be taken from reliable sources, and the quarantine process should be observed.PMID:37724365 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.94840

Prevalence of Fascioliasis in Slaughtered Cattle in A ğrı Province
CONCLUSION: In this study conducted on cattle in the Ağrı region, F. hepatica was found to be significantly common. The data obtained show that in order to prevent economic losses in animal husbandry, which is an important source of livelihood of the local people, effective prevention and control programs should be planned and implemented, and both sheep and cattle breeders should be made aware of the prevention of this infection.PMID:37724364 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.39306

Study on the Therapeutic Effect of Coconut Oil Extracts as An Alternative Medicinal Plant in < em > Cryptosporidium < /em > Infected Mice
CONCLUSION: The present study has opened fresh avenues for development of natural therapy like coconut oil extracts, which have a potential therapeutic efficacy against Cryptosporidiosis. That was confirmed by different methodologies, parasitological examination, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemical assays. It paves the way for being a promising anti-parasitic agent for infection eradication. However, further studies are still required to gain more knowledge about different coconut extracts in order to reach the best treatment efficacy.PMID:37724361 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.22932

Development and Sensitivity Determination of < em > 18S rRNA < /em > Gene-specific Fast Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for Rapid Detection of < em > Acanthamoeba < /em >
CONCLUSION: It has been demonstrated that the LAMP assay designed by targeting 18S rRNA gene of Acanthamoeba has a detection limit of 1 pg of genomic DNA. It is promising that LAMP test is more sensitive and faster than culture method, as well as simple, inexpensive and highly sensitive. For this reason, it is thought that developed test can be applied in the diagnosis of Acanthamoeba in environmental and clinical samples.PMID:37724360 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.46362

Chemoresistance Mechanisms in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-Opportunities for Drug Repurposing
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s12010-023-04595-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, lung cancer contributes significantly to the public health burden-associated mortality. As this form of cancer is insidious in nature, there is an inevitable diagnostic delay leading to chronic tumor development. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes 80-85% of all lung cancer cases, making this neoplasia form a prevalent subset of lung carcinoma. One of the most vital aspects for proper diagnosis, prognosis, and adequate therapy is the precise classification of non-small cell lung cancer based on biomarke...

Rottlerin impairs early and late steps of Toxoplasma gondii infection in human trophoblast cells and villous explants
Chem Biol Interact. 2023 Sep 16:110716. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110716. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCongenital toxoplasmosis, caused by the opportunistic protozoan parasite T. gondii, can cause stillbirths, miscarriages and fetal abnormalities, as well as encephalitis and chorioretinitis in newborns. Available treatment options rely on antiparasitic drugs that have been linked to serious side effects, high toxicity and the development of drug-resistant parasites. The search for alternative therapeutics to treat this disease without acute toxicity for the mother and child is essential for the advancement of current therap...

Light pollution may alter host-parasite interactions in aquatic ecosystems
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Sep 16:S1471-4922(23)00217-9. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.08.013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith growing human populations living along freshwater shores and marine coastlines, aquatic ecosystems are experiencing rising levels of light pollution. Through its effects on hosts and parasites, anthropogenic light at night can disrupt host-parasite interactions evolved under a normal photoperiod. Yet its impact on aquatic parasites has been ignored to date. Here, I discuss the direct effects of light on the physiology and behaviour of parasite infective stages and their hosts. I argue that night-time light...

Evaluation of recombinant Babesia gibsoni thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (BgTRAP) for the sero-diagnosis of canine babesiosis
Exp Parasitol. 2023 Sep 16:108621. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108621. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCanine babesiosis, caused by Babesia gibsoni is one of the most significant tick-borne illnesses across the world. Light microscopy as well as polymerase chain reaction may fail in the diagnosis of disease when the level of parasitaemia is very low during subclinical and chronic cases. The serological techniques using a recombinant protein will be useful for the accurate and sensitive surveillance of the disease, especially in chronic cases. The present study describes the evaluation of recombinant N-terminal B. gibsoni Thr...

Tubulin as a potential molecular target for resveratrol in Giardia lamblia trophozoites, in vitro and in silico approaches
Acta Trop. 2023 Sep 16:107026. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiardia lamblia is a globally distributed protozoan parasite that causes intestinal disease. Recently, there is an increase in refractory cases of giardiasis to chemotherapeutic agents, and drugs available cause side effects that may limit its use or cause therapeutic non-compliance. Therefore, search for alternative and less harmful drugs to treat giardiasis is an important task. In this sense, resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenol with a wide range of pharmacological effects such as antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic and antioxi...

State-of-the-art Review on the Antiparasitic Activity of Benzimidazole-based Derivatives: Facing Malaria, Leishmaniasis, and Trypanosomiasis
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Sep 15. doi: 10.2174/0929867331666230915093928. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProtozoan parasites represent a significant risk for public health worldwide, afflicting particularly people in more vulnerable categories and cause large morbidity and heavy economic impact. Traditional drugs are limited by their toxicity, low efficacy, route of administration, and cost, reflecting their low priority in global health management. Moreover, the drug resistance phenomenon threatens the positive therapy outcome. This scenario claims the need of addressing more adequate therapies. Among the diverse strategies impl...

Seasonal and host-associated variation in bot fly (oestridae: cuterebrinae) parasitism of lagomorphs across an arid-land ecosystem in southern new mexico
J Parasitol. 2023 Oct 1;109(5):486-494. doi: 10.1645/22-106.ABSTRACTBot flies (Oestridae: Cuterebrinae) are obligate mammalian parasites that complete the larval stage of their life cycle under the skin of their host. Most detailed studies of bot fly larval disease ecology have been conducted in temperate deciduous zone rodent systems. To understand the relative importance of seasonal and spatial factors, as well as factors intrinsic to the host, in underpinning the likelihood and extent of parasitism by bot flies in non-rodent hosts as well as in arid-land ecosystems, we examined the dynamic for black-tailed jackrabbit (L...
