Abstract:
... Hydatidosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus granulosus is considered an economically important disease due to the condemnation of affected visceral organs of domestic animals. The lungs and liver are the most commonly affected organs and is less frequently observed in spleen particularly in buffaloes compared to cattle. Out of 980 slaughtered buffaloes screened for hy ...

Abstract:
... Trichomoniasis, the disease caused by the flagellate protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis is the sexually transmitted infection with the largest annual incidence. Metronidazole is the drug of choice recommended for the treatment of human trichomoniasis but it can lead to drug resistance and many other adverse effects. So, it is necessary for new alternatives for the treatment of this infection. Medicin ...

Abstract:
... Protozoal infections are common in the tropics. Amoebic colitis is the commonest of these infections and can lead to liver abscess as a complication. Balantidium coli is a rare free moving protozoal parasite which is known to infest human large intestine causing a type of colitis very similar to that caused by Entamoeba histolytica. However this pathogen is not known to cause liver invasion in hum ...
