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

Antimalarial drug discovery against malaria parasites through haplopine modification: An advanced computational approach
J Cell Mol Med. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17940. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe widespread emergence of antimalarial drug resistance has created a major threat to public health. Malaria is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by Plasmodium spp., which includes Apicoplast DNA polymerase and Plasmodium falciparum cysteine protease falcipain-2. These components play a critical role in their life cycle and metabolic pathway, and are involved in the breakdown of erythrocyte hemoglobin in the host, making them promising targets for anti-malarial drug design. Our current study has been designed to explore the pote...

A Ruptured Cystic Echinococcosis in the Gallbladder and Intra/Extrahepatic Biliary Tract, Radiological and Surgical Imaging Findings
Turkiye Parazitol Derg. 2023 Sep 18;47(3):200-203. doi: 10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.65265.ABSTRACTCystic echinococcosis is a common parasitic infestation that can still cause serious complications in endemic areas. Intrabiliary rupture is a well-defined complication, but rupture into the gallbladder is rare. The disease may present with cholecystitis and cholangitis. Clinicians and radiologists working in the emergency room will find the management of the disease much easier if they become familiar with the clinical and radiological findings of the cyst. In this article, a 28-year-old male admitted to the emergency department...

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...

Scientometric Evaluation of the Itch Mite, < em > Sarcoptes scabiei < /em > (Acari: Sarcoptidae): The Last Four Decades of Global Academic Output on Scabies
CONCLUSION: The majority of the studies were done in a given country while multicenter studies are very rare. It is recommended that more studies should be conducted on scabiosis in developing countries where the problem of scabies is the biggest.PMID:37724367 | DOI:10.4274/tpd.galenos.2023.51423

Phytohormones regulate asexual Toxoplasma gondii replication
Parasitol Res. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1007/s00436-023-07968-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe protozoan Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a zoonotic disease agent causing systemic infection in warm-blooded intermediate hosts including humans. During the acute infection, the parasite infects host cells and multiplies intracellularly in the asexual tachyzoite stage. In this stage of the life cycle, invasion, multiplication, and egress are the most critical events in parasite replication. T. gondii features diverse cell organelles to support these processes, including the apicoplast, an endosymbiont-derived vestigial plastid ...
