Objective:
Acanthamoeba, one of the free-living amoeba, has been detected in many environmental samples, mainly in water, soil and air. Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis are among the most important clinical manifestations caused by Acanthamoeba. In this study, it was aimed to determine the sensitivity of the rapid loop...
Objective: To date, many studies have been performed on genotyping of E. granulosus s.l. in Turkey. However, a systematically analysis of the data human E. granulosus s.l. genotypes in Turkey is lacking. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide summary information about the distribution of E.granulosus s.l. genotypes which have been det...
Background
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is an umbrella term used for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is associated with an increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to investigate the association of local and systemic biomarkers of inflammation and gut microbiota-derived metabolite trimet...
Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato by molecular analysis with Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) method by collecting stool samples from stray animals that can be reached in 9 of the 10 determined districts of Izmir province (Aliaga, Menemen, Bornova, Urla, Selcuk, Bayindir, Odemis, Tire, Kiraz)...
Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus
is one of the neglected parasitic disease, of both medical and public health importance. It
has a worldwide distribution including Turkey. The current study was designed to determine
the seropositivity of E. granulosus infection in patients with suspected cystic...
Background: Fasciola hepatica is an important pathogen that causes liver fluke disease in definitive
hosts such as livestock animals and humans. Various excretory/secretory products have been used in
serological diagnosis and vaccination studies targeting fasciolosis. There are no commercial vaccines
against fasciolosis yet. Bioinformatic analysis...
Objective:
The follow-up of patients with cystic echinococcosis (CE) offers the opportunity of evaluating the prognosis of the infection as well as detecting relapse. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the new multiepitope recombinant peptide (recDipol) antigen in the follow-up of CE patients treated by surgery or percutaneous aspirat...
Objective: To evaluate three different serological tests [Indirect Hemaglutination (IHA), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Western Blotting (WB)] using native crude antigen for diagnosis of hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE) patients. Materials and Methods: Sheep hydatid fluid (HF) was collected from fertile cysts obtained from a slau...
In Turkey, cyst hydatid disease (CHD) or cystic echinococcosis (CE) is publicly known as “dog cyst”, a fatal and serious disease not only affects livestock husbandry and human health but also brings about economic loss to our country. According to the data of the Ministry of Health; number of annual cases was 408 in 2008, and this number reached 1,...
Kistik ekinokokkozis (KE), Avrupa'da çok yaygın bir hastalıktır ve dünyada yaklaşık 2-3 milyon olgunun % 95'inden fazlasını oluşturmaktadır. KE, ölümcül ve ciddi bir hastalıktır. Türkiye de bu sorunun halen halk sağlığı tehdidi oluşturduğu ülkeler arasındadır. Bu çalışma, İzmir ilinin 10 farklı ilçesinde KE farkındalığını yaratmak için yapılmış bir...
Objective: Blastocystis is a common protozoan parasite detected worldwide. This study aims to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effect of ethyl alcohol extracts of Tunceli garlic (Allium tuncelianum) on growth of Blastocystis ST3 subtype.
Methods: Blastocystis ST3 were grown in 3 ml Jones’s medium containing A. tuncelianum prepared at five differ...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) and Western Blotting (WB) methods could contribute to the assessment of clinical outcomes in genotype-defined cystic echinococcosis (CE) patients. Twenty-nine human isolates and blood samples have been taken from patients who underwent surgery or percutaneou...
