13. Blastocystis sp. and other intestinal parasites in hemodialysis patients
Chronic renal insufficiency disease (CRI) leads to uremia in hemodialysis patients and induces a state of immunodepression that results in higher frequencies of infections and diarrhea. Hemodialysis patients resident in the city of Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brazil were analyzed from April 2006 through September 2007 for Blastocystis sp. and other intestinal pa

14. Fauna flebotomínea na bacia do Rio Araguari, antes, durante e após a construção da barragem da Usina Hidrelétrica Capim Branco I, Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil / American Cutaneous Leishmaniosis; American Visceral Leishmaniosis; Medical Geography; Phlebotomine; Hydroelectric Power Plant Capim Banco I ; Lutzomyia
American Cutaneous Leishmaniosis ACL and American Visceral - AVL are non-contagious infect-parasitic diseases of zootic character, caused by protozoa of several species of the gender Leishmania that attack man, several species of domestic and wild animals. These diseases are considered re-emerging infections that reappear or are spread out in a way they can

16. Estudo sobre a participação de rodedores na cadeia de transmissão de Leishmania infantum (Protozoa: Trypanosomatidae) no Rio Grande do Norte
American visceral leishmaniasis is a zoonosis caused by Leishmania infantum and transmitted by the bite of the sand flies Lutzomia longipalpis.The main domestic reservoir is the dog, while foxes and opposums are the known wild reservoirs. However, identification of natural infections with L. infantum in rodents appears for need of investigating the participa

17. Toxocariase humana e parasitoses intestinais em areas sob o risco de enchentes no municipio de Campinas, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil
Human intestinal parasitoses remain a very common public health problem, and their geographical distribution and prevalence are associated with several factors, particularly the low socio-economic status of the population. Nematodes such as Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati (parasites in dogs and cats, respectively) are the main agents of the visceral and ocu

18. Infections by protozoa in immunocompromised hosts
Protozoa are among the most important pathogens that can cause infection in immunocompromised patients. They infect particularly individuals with impaired cell immunity, such as those with hematologic neoplasias, those submitted to transplant of solid organs, those under high-dose corticosteroid therapy, and carriers of the human immunodeficiency virus.

19. Infecções parasitarias em creche : estudo em uma area urbana, com enfase em Cryptosporidium parvum e Giardia duodenalis
Enteric protozoa have a worldwide distn1mtion. These organisrns are important pathogens in child day-care centres. For brazilian children, risk factors for the occurrence of protozoa infections in day-care settings were not yet studied. A parasitological and epidemiological survey was realized in 13 day-care centres (=DCCs) in a urban area at the municipalit

20. Effects of 1-(2-Nitro-1-Imidazolyl)-3-Methoxy-2-Propanol and 2-Methyl-5-Nitroimidazole-1-Ethanol Against Anaerobic and Aerobic Bacteria and Protozoa
1-(2-Nitro-1-imidazolyl)-3-methoxy-2-propanol (RO 7-0582) and 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-1-ethanol (Metronidazole), substances known to be potent trichomonacides, were shown to inhibit obligate anaerobic bacteria in vitro but were essentially without effect at the doses tested against bacteria capable of growing aerobically. A similar effect was noted in vivo

21. The role of Legionella pneumophila-infected Hartmannella vermiformis as an infectious particle in a murine model of Legionnaire's disease.
Legionella pneumophila is a bacterial parasite of many species of freshwater protozoa and occasionally an intracellular pathogen of humans. While protozoa are known to play a key role in the persistence of L. pneumophila in the environment, there has been limited research addressing the potential role of L. pneumophila-infected protozoa in the pathogenesis o

22. Antibiotic G-418, a New Micromonospora-Produced Aminoglycoside with Activity Against Protozoa and Helminths: Fermentation, Isolation, and Preliminary Characterization
Antibiotic G-418 is a new aminoglycoside produced as the major component by a new species of Micromonospora, M. rhodorangea NRRL 5326. The antibiotic is prepared by submerged fermentation in a soybean-dextrin medium. Antibiotic G-418 is adsorbed on a cationic-exchange resin and separated from other impurities by passing it down a Dowex (1 × 2) resin column.

23. Laboratory-Acquired Parasitic Infections from Accidental Exposures
Parasitic diseases are receiving increasing attention in developed countries in part because of their importance in travelers, immigrants, and immunocompromised persons. The main purpose of this review is to educate laboratorians, the primary readership, and health care workers, the secondary readership, about the potential hazards of handling specimens that

24. The phagosome containing Legionella pneumophila within the protozoan Hartmannella vermiformis is surrounded by the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular parasite of protozoa and human phagocytes. To examine adaptation of this bacterium to parasitize protozoa, the sequence of events of the intracellular infection of the amoeba Hartmannella vermiformis was examined. The previously described uptake phenomenon of coiling phagocytosis by human monocytes was not detected.
