    Jpn. J. Infect. Dis., 73, 44–50, 2020 Original Article Molecular Identification of the Etiological Agent of Human Gnathostomiasis in an Endemic Area of Mexico Sylvia Paz Díaz-Camacho1, Jesús Ricardo Parra-Unda2, Julián Ríos-Sicairos2, and Francisco Delgado-Vargas2* 1Research Unit in Environment and Health, Autonomous University of Occident, Sinaloa; and 2Public Health Research Unit "Dra. Kaethe Willms", School of Chemical and Biological Sciences, Autonomous University of Sinaloa, University city, Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico SUMMARY: Human gnathostomiasis, which is endemic in Mexico, is a worldwide health concern. It is mainly caused by the consumption of raw or insufficiently cooked fish containing the advanced third-stage larvae (AL3A) of Gnathostoma species. The diagnosis of gnathostomiasis is based on epidemiological surveys and immunological diagnostic tests. When a larva is recovered, the species can be identified by molecular techniques. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the second internal transcription spacer (ITS-2) is useful to identify nematode species, including Gnathostoma species. This study aims to develop a duplex-PCR amplification method of the ITS-2 region to differentiate between the Gnathostoma binucleatum and G. turgidum parasites that coexist in the same endemic area, as well as to identify the Gnathostoma larvae recovered from the biopsies of two gnathostomiasis patients from Sinaloa, Mexico. The duplex PCR established based on the ITS- 2 sequence showed that the length of the amplicons was 321 bp for G. binucleatum and 226 bp for G. turgidum. The amplicons from the AL3A of both patients were 321 bp. Furthermore, the length and composition of these amplicons were identical to those deposited in GenBank as G.

  • Investigations on the Abundance of Ectoparasites and Vector-Borne Pathogens in Southwest Madagascar
    Investigations on the abundance of ectoparasites and vector-borne pathogens in southwest Madagascar Dissertation with the aim of achieving a doctoral degree at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences Department of Biology University of Hamburg submitted by Julian Ehlers Hamburg, 2020 Reviewers: Prof. Dr. Jörg Ganzhorn, Universität Hamburg PD Dr. Andreas Krüger, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Date of oral defense: 19.06.2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of contents Summary 1 Zusammenfassung 3 Chapter 1: General introduction 5 Chapter 2: Ectoparasites of endemic and domestic animals in 33 southwest Madagascar Chapter 3: Molecular detection of Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., 63 Bartonella spp. and Yersinia pestis in ectoparasites of endemic and domestic animals in southwest Madagascar Chapter 4: General discussion 97 SUMMARY Summary Human encroachment on natural habitats is steadily increasing due to the rapid growth of the worldwide population. The consequent expansion of agricultural land and livestock husbandry, accompanied by spreading of commensal animals, create new interspecific contact zones that are major regions of risk of the emergence of diseases and their transmission between livestock, humans and wildlife. Among the emerging diseases of the recent years those that originate from wildlife reservoirs are of outstanding importance. Many vector-borne diseases are still underrecognized causes of fever throughout the world and tend to be treated as undifferentiated illnesses. The lack of human and animal health facilities, common in rural areas, bears the risk that vector-borne infections remain unseen, especially if they are not among the most common. Ectoparasites represent an important route for disease transmission besides direct contact to infected individuals.

  • Internal Parasites of Sheep and Goats
    Internal Parasites of Sheep and Goats BY G. DIKMANS AND D. A. SHORB ^ AS EVERY SHEEPMAN KNOWS, internal para- sites are one of the greatest hazards in sheep production, and the problem of control is a difficult one. Here is a discussion of some 40 of these parasites, including life histories, symptoms of infestation, medicinal treat- ment, and preventive measures. WHILE SHEEP, like other farm animals, suffer from various infectious and noiiinfectious diseases, the most serious losses, especially in farm flocks, are due to internal parasites. These losses result not so much from deaths from gross parasitism, although fatalities are not infre- quent, as from loss of condition, unthriftiness, anemia, and other effects. Devastating and spectacular losses, such as were formerly caused among swine by hog cholera, among cattle by anthrax, and among horses by encephalomyelitis, seldom occur among sheep. Losses due to parasites are much less seni^ational, but they are con- stant, and especially in farai flocks they far exceed those due to bacterial diseases. They are difficult to evaluate, however, and do not as a rule receive the attention they deserve. The principal internal parasites of sheep and goats are round- worms, tapeworms, flukes, and protozoa. Their scientific and com- mon names and their locations in the host are given in table 1. Another internal parasite of sheep, the sheep nasal fly, the grubs of which develop in the nasal pasisages and head sinuses, is discussed at the end of the article. ^ G. Dikmans is Parasitologist and D. A. Sborb is Assistant Parasitologist, Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry.

    HISTORY OF AMBULANCE Posted by HeArt BeaT ^_^ at 12:34 AM Selama Perang Salib abad ke-11, Knights of St John menerima pengajaran dalam perawatan pertolongan pertama dari dokter Arab dan Yunani. The Knights of St John kemudian bertindak sebagai pekerja darurat pertama, mengobati tentara di kedua sisi perang di medan perang dan membawa yang terluka ke tenda terdekat untuk perawatan lebih lanjut. Konsep layanan ambulans dimulai di Eropa dengan Knights of St John, pada saat yang sama itu juga menjadi praktik umum yang dihadiahi reward kecil yang harus dibayarkan kepada prajurit yang membawa prajurit yang terluka lainnya untuk perawatan medis. GUNUNG VESUVIUS PEMUSNAH PERADABAN POMPEII Posted by HeArt BeaT ^_^ at 11:42 PM Hari ini hampir 2000 tahun yang lalu, tepatnya tanggal 24 Agustus tahun 79, terjadi letusan dahsyat gunung Vesuvius tak jauh dari ujung selatan Italia. Konon letusan itu adalah yang pertama setelah gunung api tersebut tertidur lelap selama berabad-abad. Letak Vesuvius, dari http://volcano.und.nodak.edu Gunung Vesuvius yang menurut legenda berarti “Putra Ves/Zeus” alias Hercules, terletak di kawasan Campagnia dekat Teluk Napoli, tak jauh dari kota industri dan perdagangan Pompeii yang ketika itu berpenduduk lebih dari 20 ribu jiwa. Tak jauh dari sana juga terdapat kota peristirahatan musim panas, Herculaneum, yang dipenuhi villa, pemandian ala Romawi, dan tak lupa perjudian. Di sekitarnya dapat dijumpai perkebunan anggur yang luas, juga beberapa kota kecil seperti Stabiae. Letusan pada tahun 79 ini diawali oleh sebuah gempa besar pada tahun 62. Tetapi bangsa Romawi pada masa itu tidak menghubungkan gempa dengan aktivitas gunung berapi. Mungkin ini karena mereka, terutama di Campagnia, sudah terbiasa dengan banyaknya getaran dan goncangan bumi, kecil dan besar.
