Honey has antioxidant, immunostimulant, antibacterial, and antileishmanial activities. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro babesicidal and theilericidal effects of honey on Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, Babesia divergens, Babesia caballi, and Theileria equi. There was noteworthy suppression of growth at a concentration of 0.5% (V/V) for B. bovis, B. bigemina, B. divergens, and T. equi and 1% (V/V) for B. caballi. The IC50 values of honey were 1.98, 1.82, 0.42, 1.7, and 1.43% (V/V) for B. bovis, B. bigemina, B. divergens, B. caballi, and T. equi, respectively. The growth was entirely repressed at 1% (V/V) for B. divergens,2.5% (V/V) for T. equi, and 5% (V/V) for B. bovis, B. bigemina, and B. caballi. The regrowth was repressed in the viability test at a concentration of 1% (V/V) for B. divergens,2.5% (V/V) for T. equi,and5% (V/V) for B. caballi, B. bovis,and B. bigemina. These results indicate honey as a natural killer of Babesia species and T. equi. Its use in the treatment of clinical cases requires further in vivo evaluation.

Trypanosomosis is a chronic disease of camels caused by Trypanosoma evansi which is transmitted mechanically by Tabanus and Stomoxys spp. It has a worldwide distribution. In the present study, 259 male camels admitted to Kom-Hammada abattoir, Behera province were examined parasitologically for presence of T.evansi by Giemsa stained blood smears (GSBS), microhaematocrit centrifugation technique (MHCT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The study revealed that total prevalence of T.evansi was 0.68% (2/295) using GSBS and 0.96% (2/209) using MHCT. While molecular examination of 100 samples by PCR gave a prevalence of 63%. Our results revealed that, using of PCR technique in diagnosis of trypanosomosis is more sensitive and specific especially in low infection rate cases as well as it is of potential role in epidemiological studies.

The early half of the last century has witnessed a great attention to family Heterophyidae especially in Middle and Far East since infecting both man and animals. Seasonal variation concerning prevalence and intensity of fish infection. Fish specimens were collected from highly endemic region in Alexandria governorate during summer and spring seasons. Encysted metacercariae were identified and used in subsequent experimental infection of laboratory mice was carried out to allow morphological identification of eggs and adult worms. The prevalence of infection was much higher in summer (90.10%) than in spring season (54.76%).P.genata has proved highly infective, since all experimental mice had acquired infection. Morphological characteristics may help distinguish P.genata stages from other heterophyids.

A total one hundred (Tilapia spp) Oreochromis spp fishes were collected and examined for the presence of ectoparasites, fifty fishes from each farm and wild environment (River Nile) over a period of five months from February to July 2017. Total infestation rate of ectoparasites from cultured Oreochromis spp (100%) was higher than of those recorded in wild Oreochromis spp (74 %). The ciliated protozoan parasite Trichodina spp was the most abundant ectoparasite recovered from both cultured and wild environment. However, the study revealed two kinds of external parasites, protozoa and monogenetic trematodes. Protozoans showed the most prevalent ectoparasites (100%) in cultured Oreochromis spp and (74%) in wild Orechromis spp, while the monogenetic trematodes recorded (20%) in cultured fishes only while wild fishes showed no infestation. Furthermore, the load of protozoans in cultured Oreochromis differed significantly (P 0.05). As well as monogenetic trematodes recovered from cultured fishes were differing significantly (P< 0.001) from those recovered from wild fishes but this difference was applied only on Dactylogyrus spp since the Gyrodactlus spp did not show any significant.

The current work was undertaken to determine the role of some animal species in transmitting mites to their human contact. A total of 100 hair and skin scrapings were collected from clinically suspected mange like lesions found on different parts of the body of individually owned animals from Abo El Matameer District, Behera Province during the period extended from June 2014 to May 2015. Samples included cattle, buffaloes, sheep and horses (25 samples of each) of different ages and sex. Results revealed that the highest prevalence was observed in sheep (72%) followed by cattle (48%) then buffaloes (36%) and finally horses (28%). Statistical analysis showed non-significant association between the prevalence of mites and sex of investigated animals while there was a significant association between the prevalence of mites and different age groups that older animals were more susceptible to infection than young animals. Microscopic identification clarified that that the overall prevalence of Sarcoptes spp. and Psoroptes spp. was 56.52 and 43.48%, respectively. Finally, it was clear that cattle, buffaloes, sheep and horses could be considered potential reservoirs for scabies.
目前正在进行的工作是确定一些动物物种在将螨虫传播给与其接触的人类方面的作用。2014年6月至2015年5月期间，从贝赫拉省Abo El Matameer区个体饲养的动物身体不同部位发现的临床疑似疥疮样病变中共收集了100例毛发和皮肤刮痕。样本包括不同年龄和性别的牛、水牛、羊和马(各25个样本)。结果显示，发病率最高的是绵羊(72%)，其次是牛(48%)，然后是水牛(36%)，最后是马(28%)。统计分析表明，螨的患病率与被调查动物的性别之间无显著相关性，而螨的患病率与不同年龄组之间有显著相关性，年龄较大的动物比年幼的动物更容易感染。显微鉴定结果表明，Sarcoptes spp.和Psoroptes spp.的总流行率分别为56.52%和43.48%。最后，很明显，牛、水牛、羊和马可以被认为是疥疮的潜在宿主。

For the time being, a growing number of exotic reptiles are kept as pets. Pet reptiles are often infected with parasites, some of which are potentially dangerous to humans. A total of 115 samples from reptile species (Wedge-Snouted skink, African Chameleon, Egg eating snake and Egyptian tortoise) were collected for examination. The results indicated that (48.7%) out of 115 infected with internal parasites .A wide range of internal parasites were detected including nematodes, cestodes and protozoa. Wedge-snouted skink showed the highest infection rate where it reached 82.3%, followed by African Chameleon (51.5%), Egg eating snake (23%) and Egyptian tortoise (22.7%). Various parasites were detected including Strongylid eggs, Spirurid eggs, Heterakid eggs, Oxyurid eggs, eggs of mites, Nyctotherus cysts, Cryptosporidium oocysts, Thelandros spp., Parapharyngodon spp., Raillietascarisvarani, Physaloptera tupinambae, Meteterakis saotomensis and Oochoristica spp.These results revealed that a routine parasitological examination should be done in such animals.

Gastrointestinal nematodes, principally those of family trichostrongylidae are considered one of the most important parasitic diseases allover the world, that causing significant drop of small ruminants productivity. This study was performed from October 2017 to September 2018 in 5 centers geographically located in and around Dakahlia governorate, Egypt. Faecal samples were examined using modified wisconsin technique. Examination of 455 faecal samples from sheep and goats revealed an overall incidence of 28.5% (130 out of 455). Sheep is found more affected by trichostrongyles (33.23%) than goats (14.78%). The highest infection rate of trichostrongyle eggs was recorded in El Mahella -Elkubra (92.5% and 27.8% in sheep and goats, respectively) while, the lowest infection rate was detected in Biyala city (10% and 0% in sheep and goats, respectively). Females are found more infected than males and young ages are found more infected than older ones in both examined sheep and goats. Regarding the seasonal fluctuation; the infection rate in sheep reached at its maximum level during Winter (57.1%) while in goats was during Summer (18.7%).

Stomach horse bots, the larvae of the Gasterophilus intestinalis flies (bot flies), inhabit the stomach of equines and cause damage ranging from mild gastritis to stomach ulcers and peritonitis. The adult flies are non-parasitic and incapable of feeding, yet they survive on the nutrients left from the larval stage for approximately 10-14 days, a period long enough for them to mate and lay eggs. In this study, morphological characterization of adult fly, second and third larval stages of G. Intestinalis (Diptera: Oestridae) is illustrated using light and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). The later clarifies the structures of cephalic segment, sensory array of distal maxilla (mouth hooks), thoracic and abdominal spines and terminal abdominal segment of second instar and third instar. Morphological differences between second and third stage larvae of G. intestinalis are also discussed in this work. Adult fly antennae and antennal sensilla are studied using SEM, each antenna consisted of scape, flattened disc like pedicel, pyriform funiculus and arista. Funiculus had five types of sensilla (trichoid, basiconic, coeloconic, clavate and auriculate). Arista was composed of one or two short basal segments without sensilla and one long distal segment covered with coeloconic III sensilla. It is concluded that light and SEM should be used in conjunction for the description of G. intestinalis but SEM is considered superior in description of their ultrastructure. Finally, pathological lesions in the stomach wall of infested donkeys are described.

Finally, pathological lesions in the stomach wall of infested donkeys are described.","PeriodicalId":266046,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Veterinary Medical Society of Parasitology Journal (EVMSPJ)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124931132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schistosomiasis is a global infectious disease that endangers human health as well as it impairs the socioeconomic development. The most prevalent species of Schistosoma in Egypt are S.mansoni and S.haematobium. Nevertheless, the traditional parasitological methods still the gold standard methods for detection of schistosomiasis; it was encountered by several obstacles. Therefore, the emerging of the need for more sensitive technique became a must. So, this study tried to put light on IHA test to be used as field, easy, quick, quantitative and cheap test, in addition to give a simple insight about the epidemiological state of the parasites in the area of study. IHA test was found to be very useful in clinical and epidemiological setting. As well as IHA test is potentially helpful in diagnosis of disease in endemic area in condition of knowing the history of patient. During the current survey the statistical analysis (Chi-square test) revealed very high significance of infection in older persons than younger one where the P

115 Abstract The present study detected the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts in different organs of 103 donkeys at Giza Zoo in Egypt during the period that extended from October, 2016 to September, 2017. The overall prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was 15.53%, with the majority of cysts (87.50%) found in the liver, followed by the mixed infection of lung and liver (12.50%). The majority of the cysts (56.89%) were fertile, and (40.72%) were sterile, while (2.40%) were calcified. Considering number of fertile cyst, (66) of mixed type lung and liver cysts were fertile compared to (29) of liver cysts. It was found that the prevalence rate of hydatid cysts was higher in female donkeys than in male and in old age donkeys with no cases in young to adult age ones.
