This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents complex data on Fascioloides magna from all aspects of its research (general information, distribution, spectrum of hosts) and summarizes the latest information on molecular structure of informative genes which were recently applied in resolving taxonomy and biogeography of this veterinary important parasite. The giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, is important liver parasite of free-living and domestic ruminants. Due to its biology, distribution, medical impact, and invasive character, this liver fluke attracts attention of wide spectrum of specialists – veterinary doctors, hunters and farmers, as well as scientists. The parasite utilizes wide range of free living and domestic ruminants as definitive hosts, with various pathological impacts ranging from moderate infections towards lethal effects. Fascioloides magna is of North American origin where it occurs in five enzootic regions. It was introduced to Europe along with its deer hosts in 19th century and it has established three permanent natural foci. The giant liver fluke represents an outstanding model for studying the origin, spatial distribution, migratory routs, and invasion processes of introduced species.

Download or read book Histochemical Study of Some Enzymes of the Common Liver Fluke Fasciola Hepatica L written by Eric Panitz and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acid and alkaline phosphatase was localized histochemically in the intestinal epithelium and excretory duct respectively in fresh frozen sections of Fasciola hepatica. Polyphenol oxidase was localized in the vitellaria, vitelline ducts and egg-shells. The distribution and nature of esterases was examined histochemically. Acetyl-cholinesterase was observed in the tegument, neural ganglia, neural commisure, acetabulum and oral sucker. Pseudocholinesterase was observed in the pharynx, cirrus, cirrus pouch wall, prostate gland sperm sac, testes, ovary, vitelline duct and duct walls of Mehlis' gland. Use of differential inhibitors of mammalian cholinesterases indicated that presence of acetylcholinesterase in structures containing pseudocholinesterase could not be demonstrated by differential enzyme activity. Non-specific esterase is reported in the excretory ducts and intestinal epithelium. The possible functions of the various esterases is discussed. Succinic dehydrogenase was observed in all those organs and tissues reported to contain esterases. It is reported from the cirrus, cirrus pouch wall, prostate gland and sperm sac for the first time. The effects of various concentrations of Ruelene (4-tert-butyl-2-chlorophenyl methyl methyl phosphoramidate), Halaxon (di(2-chloroethyl) 3-chloro-4 methylcoumarin-7-yl) phosphate, CoRal (0, 0-diethyl-0-3-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-l-benzyopyran-7-yl phosphorothioate), Dibenzylamine (DABA, 1, 6 bis (methylamino-methylphenoxy) hexane dihydrochloride), Tris (p-aminophenyl) carbonium chloride (TAC, pararosaniline chloride), Bayer 9015 (B9015, 3, 3'-dichloro-5, 5'-dinitro-0, 0'-biphenol), Bithionol (2, 2'-thiobis (4, 6-dichlorophenol) 'Actamer') were examined for inhibitory effect against fluke cholinesterases. Bithionol and B9015 failed to inhibit esterases activity. CoRal, Neguvon, TAC and Halaxon inhibited all cholinesterase activity. Ruelene reversibly inhibited pharyngeal and reproductive complex cholinesterases but non-reversibly inhibited tegumental and neural Acetylcholinesterase. Dibenzylamine reversibly inhibited all cholinesterases. Bayer 9015 and DABA failed to inhibit excretory duct alkaline phosphatase activity. Bayer 9015 failed to inhibit acid phosphatase activity in intestinal epithelium. Bithionol, Bayer 9015 and Hexachlorophene (2, 2' dihydroxy-3, 5, 6-3'5'6' hexachlorodiphenyl methane) all inhibited succinic dehydrogenase at all concentrations tested. Dibenzylamine had no inhibitory effect while TAC partially inhibited the staining reaction. Incubation of adult flukes in DABA-Hedon-Fleig saline for 8, 18 or 24 hours resulted in a decrease in PAS positive material and loss of tegument. This is compared with Bayer 9015 induced necrosis and a hypothesis explaining the mechanism of this necrosis is presented.

Download or read book Tumors and Tumor Like Lesions of the Hepatobiliary Tract written by Arthur Zimmermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 3517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all liver tumors and lesions that clinically and radiologically mimic liver tumors. It provides readers with a comprehensive overview of this complex and rapidly evolving field. All aspects of surgical pathology are addressed, supplemented by detailed presentations of the lesions’ cell-biologic and molecular features. In addition, the methods employed for diagnosis and diagnostic algorithms are discussed. It appeals to pathologists and hepatologists and serves as an invaluable aid to diagnosis.The field of liver tumors and tumor-like lesions in adults and children has experienced tremendous advances in recent years. Specifically, the recognition of novel entities, deepened insights into known tumors, and refinement of classifications have necessitated continual updates and reappraisals. In addition, previous understanding of hepatic carcinogenesis and tumor progression has been transformed by the very rapid evolution of our understanding of cell biology, genomics, signaling pathways, cell interactions, and mechanisms of invasion and spread of hepatic tumor cells. These general pathology issues must be combined with surgical pathology if a comprehensive understanding of liver tumor pathology is to be achieved.

Download or read book Fasciolosis 2nd Edition written by John P. Dalton and published by CABI. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica. Many fundamental advances have taken place in the last two decades, but of particular importance has been the mapping of the draft genome of Fasciola. In addition, comprehensive advances in transcriptomics, proteomics and glycomics have been made, and the book therefore pays particular attention to these developments with the addition of brand-new chapters. Also covering the impact these parasites have had on the global human population, their distribution and their ecology, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource for scientists, researchers and students of medical and veterinary parasitology.
Download or read book Fasciolosis Causes Challenges and Controls written by Dinesh Kumar Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date review of fasciolosis, a disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, including its biology, transmission, epidemiology, host distribution, economic impact, and novel approaches for its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It first offers a brief overview of the history of the disease, the genetic diversity of the parasite and its distribution, and the ecology of the vector snail, which belongs to the Lymnaeidae/Planorbidae family. It also examines the current strategies and novel approaches for controlling the parasite, diagnosing infections and vaccine development. Importantly, it highlights issues relating to the control of fasciolosis, including drug resistance, lack of effective diagnostics, and the parasite’s long-term survival strategies based on regulation and modulation of the host immune system. Lastly, it discusses the novel control snail vectors using bait formulations, and synergetic and phototherapy treatment with chlorophyllin, which does not kill the vector.
