Introduction: Amoebiasis is a multifactorial, life-threatening public health issue and the third parasitic disease cause of mortality in worldwide, particularly in low- and mid-income countries. The aim of this study was to attempt to explore genetic encoding differences of CP8 (conserved gene) of Entamoeba histolytica/Entamoeba dispar in its various infectious properties isolated from Ilam located at a southwest part of Iran.

Materials And Methods: A total of 2023 stool samples were collected between 2016 and 2018 from the hospital in Ilam, of which only 30 isolates were identified as E. histolytica/E. dispar. These isolates were collected from the intensive care unit, infectious disease, and surgery settings. The isolates were identified and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the CP8 gene. In all stages, Entamoeba histolytica HM1: IMSS was used as a positive control.

Results: In genotype confirmation, only two isolates had the CP8 gene found in the PCR technique. The sequencing results confirmed the mentioned gene with 99%-100% specificity.

Conclusion: It is concluded that PCR is highly sensitive to detect E. histolytica and indicating this important role as screening tools in direct DNA extraction from stool samples and valuable technique in early detection of symptomatic and asymptomatic E. histolytica patients.

Strongyloidiasis is a helminthiasis of neglected condition that has no gold standard parasitological diagnosis due to the intermittent release of larvae in feces. This study aimed to use an scFv (single chain variable fragment) obtained by Phage Display, previously validated to detect immune complexes in serum samples from individuals infected with Strongyloides stercoralis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Now the ability of scFv to detect the immune complexes was verified by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry using magnetic beads and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Read More

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND NARRATIVE SYNTHESIS OF THE USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES FOR THE SURVEILLANCE OF AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUSES IN WILD WATERBIRDS.

University of British Columbia, School of Population and Public Health, 2206 E Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z3, Canada.

Wild waterbirds are reservoir hosts for avian influenza viruses (AIV), which can cause devastating outbreaks in multiple species, making them a focus for surveillance efforts. Traditional AIV surveillance involves direct sampling of live or dead birds, but environmental substrates present an alternative sample for surveillance. Environmental sampling analyzes AIV excreted by waterbirds into the environment and complements direct bird sampling by minimizing financial, logistic, permitting, and spatial-temporal constraints associated with traditional surveillance.

Metagenomic Analysis of the Microbial Communities and Resistomes of Veal Calf Feces.

Authors:
Serajus Salaheen Seon Woo Kim Ernest Hovingh Jo Ann S Van Kessel Bradd J Haley

Front Microbiol 2020 9;11:609950. Epub 2021 Feb 9.

Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, MD, United States.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern, and dairy calves, including veal calves, are known reservoirs of resistant bacteria. To investigate AMR in the fecal microbial communities of veal calves, we conducted metagenomic sequencing of feces collected from individual animals on four commercial veal operations in Pennsylvania. Fecal samples from three randomly selected calves on each farm were collected soon after the calves were brought onto the farms ( = 12), and again, just before the calves from the same cohorts were ready for slaughter ( = 12).

Background: This study aims to characterize, the gut and oral microbiome in Asian subjects with Crohn's disease (CD) using whole genome shotgun sequencing, thereby allowing for strain-level comparison.

Methods: A case-control study with age, sex and ethnicity matched healthy controls was conducted. CD subjects were limited to well-controlled patients without oral manifestations. Read More

Pusan National University, 34996, Marine Research Institute, Marine Research Institute, Busan, Korea (the Republic of), 46241;

Zostera marina L. plants have been seriously impacted by wasting disease along the Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe since the 1930s (Muehlstein 1989). Sudden declines in the population sizes of Zostera marina affect primary and secondary producers of different trophic levels in blue carbon ecosystems (Gleason et al. Read More
