Objective:To investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the helminth intermediate host,Anentome(A.)helena,populations from northern Thailand and reveal the effect of parasitic infection on snail hos...
Objective:To assess the molluscicidal effect of the eco-friendly green synthesized neem silver nanoparticles(neem-Ag NPs)against Biomphalaria alexandrina,the snail intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni,and their c...
Spatial distributions of animals can affect interactions with their natural enemies,such as parasites,and thus have important implications for host-parasite dynamics.While spatial variation in infection risk has been ...
The study on trematode larvae found in Egyptian molluscs was initiated by the pioneering work of Sonsino in 1892 and Looss in 1896. Since then tens of cercariae and some digenean life cycles have been reported in the ...
The Higher Education Research Promotion and National Research University Project of Thailand,Office of the Higher Education Commission,though the Health Cluster(SHePGMS),Khon Kaen University to student,Miss Phornphitcha Pechdee and advisor,Assoc.Prof.Dr.Smarn Tesana for financial support of this work
Objective:To explore larvicidal effects of anthelmintic drugs on Opisthorchis viverrini(O.viverrini) for alternative approach to interrupting its cycle for developing a field-based control program.Methods:The larvicid...
The study received financial support from University of KwaZulu-Natal College of Health Sciences through the student scholarship programme,and from United Nations International Children's Fund/United Nations Development Programme/World Bank/World Health Organization Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases;from the Canadian International Development Research Centre through their support towards a Malaria and Bilharzia in Southern Africa project.
Background:Given that increase in temperature may alter host-parasite relationships,the anticipated rise in temperature due to global warming might change transmission patterns of certain diseases.However,the extent t...
Human-induced growth of macro-algae is often assumed to increase trematode infections in fishes by increasing the abtmdanee and condition of the parasite's intermediate host - snails - as this can boost the release o...

The emerging resistance to schistosoma has been paid much attention and is in urgent need for a novel strategy to control the prevalent parasitic zoonosis. In this study, the efficiency of hyperthermia therapy was inv...
Background: Two aspects need to be considered for schistosomiasis control: morbidity and transmission. In this context, many soluble substances have been tested and Euphorbia milii latex is one of the most promising B...
Recently we applied randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting to detect clonal variability among individual cercariae within daughter sporocysts and rediae of 10 digenean trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Tr...
