Human dirofilariasis has been reported from many parts of the world, including Africa, Australia, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Case Report: A 40 year old woman from Abadan city Southwest of Iran referred to surgeon with a nodule on her right breast. Ultrasound and mammography revealed a nodule diagnosed as parasitic lesion. After resection of the nodule, tissue was placed in 10% formaldehyde and sent to pathology laboratory. In histopathological examination, cross section of a worm surrounded with necrotic tissue, associated with infiltration of Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and foreign body giant cells observed which was morphologically compatible with Dirofilaria repens. Conclusion: Human dirofilariasis should be considered in endemic regions.

Intestinal parasitic infections frequency in referred patients to a large teaching hospital, Khuzestan, Southwest, Iran, 2017

A cross sectional study was designed to determine frequency of intestinal parasites among referrals to a large teaching hospital in Khuzestan, Southwest of Iran, 2017. A total number of 5613 stool samples were examined through direct smear and formalin-ether concentration methods to detect possible parasitic infections. Samples consisted of 2643 (47.09%) male and 2970 (52.91%) female. A total of 1468 (26.15%) samples were positive (13.11% male and 13.4% female) and 4145 (73.85%) were negative. The results also showed that 255 of samples had more than one type of parasite (mix infections). Counting single and mix parasite infections, the total number of positive cases reached to 1723. Helminthes parasites were present in 12 (0.7%) cases, while intestinal protozoan parasites were in 1711 (99.3%) cases. Almost equally, pathogenic and nonpathogenic parasites infected 860 (49.91%) and 863 (50...

The aim of this study was to identify species of Toxocara in naturally infected broiler chickens using molecular approaches. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used for the differentiation of Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati larvae recovered from tissues and organs, and identified by microscopic observations. Thirty-three 35- to 47-day-old broiler chickens were used for examination of Toxocara larvae. The duodenum, liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, skeletal muscles and brain of each chicken were examined using the pepsin method, and DNA from each tissue was extracted as the template for PCR assay. The findings revealed that 5 of 33 (15.2%) broiler chickens were infected with Toxocara larvae. Larvae were recovered from the liver (n = 19), duodenum (n = 8), skeletal muscles (n = 8) and brain (n = 2) of broiler ch...

Twelve of the lectins failed to agglutinate any of the above species. The number of lectins which agglutinated each species differed; T. mciroti, T. evotomys, T. grosi, T. musculi, T. lewisi and T. acomys (trypomastigote and epimastigote forms) were agglutinated by 7, 14, 7, 13, 11 and (11 and 10) lectins respectively. Some of the lectins were common in agglutinating all species of parasites, for example Bauhinia purpurea, Caragana aborescens and Viscum album. The minimum concentration of lectins which agglutinated each parasite was quite different. The agglutinations were cell body-cell body, flagellum-flagellum or flagellum-cell body. Most of the agglutinations were inhibited by their specific carbohydrates. The lowest concentrations of NANA ...

Similar levels of parasitaemia were produced by each of the three routes of infection, although the prepatent period was 3-5 days shorter in the case of the i.p.-injected animals. The oral inoculation of blood from mice infected with T. musculi into uninfected mice (outbred) and from rats infected with T. lewisi into uninfected BK rats produced parasitaemia after 6-8 days. This is the first report of the oral and i.g. transmission of T. microti, T. evotomys and T. grosi into their specific homologous hosts.

The three rodent species were subsequently challenged with their natural trypanosome parasite, i.e.T, microti for M. agrestis, T. grosi for A. sylvaticus and T. evotomys for C. glareolus. The parasitaemias and courses of infection that developed were followed. All challenged animals showed some degree of cross-immunity; not all became infected, and those that did had lower levels of parasitaemia and shorter patent periods than control animals. No C. glareolus previously inoculated with T. microti developed T. evotomys infections on challenge, and an infection was observed in just one of ten M. agrestis inoculated first with T. evotomys and later with T. microti.
