Extractions: (Explore Issue: Volume 9, Number 1) Parasitological investigations of large patient populations are rarely conducted in the United States where the illusion of freedom from parasitic infections still predominate. Such investigations are considerably more common in most third world countries where endemic parasitosis are more readily documented. Table 1. Prevalence of protozoan infections in stool samples of 644 symptomatic and asymptomatic patients examined during the summer of 1996 at DEL-IPD. Categories No. Tested (%) Patients without Symptoms Single infections Blastocystis hominis Cyclospora cayetanensis Entamoeba coli E. hartmanni E. histolytica Multiple infections (above) Other combinations Total infected Not infected Total examined Enteric and extra-intestinal symptoms were associated with presumably "harmless commensals" like E. coli and E. hartmanni. Symptomatic patients infected with E. histolytica/E. dispar markedly out-numbered those without symptoms.

Extractions: http://www.discover.com "Hookworms sink their teeth into the intestinal walls of more than a billion people every day to drink their fill of blood." Hulda Clark's book The Cure for All Cancers sold millions of copies. She, like many others before her, was convinced that parasites are a critical factor in the development as well as treatment of cancer. When living in India, I read something in Tibetan medicine about miniature copper colored forms of life that normal eyes cannot see that are pathologically linked to cancer. Writing almost at the same time in Europe instead of the Himalayas, Hildegard of Bingen, described her violet salve and said that the "vermes" will lick the salve and die. The word "vermes" has been translated "viruses," but a viral link to cancer remains a subject of debate, and one professional translator I know feels that "vermes" could also be translated "lice," not perhaps what we think of when we say parasite, but nevertheless something small and aggravating. The Tibetans and Hildegard possessed a remarkable clairvoyance and were able to witness internal operations of the body that scientists have yet to discover.

Drug Discovery Parasitic Infections in Humans Parasitic Infections in Humans In many tropical and subtropical areas, the prevalence of parasitic infections is on the rise due to rapid and unplanned growth of cities, which creates additional breeding sites for the mosquitoes that transmit the parasites responsible for malaria and filariasis. Effective control of these diseases requires repeated administration of potent drugs and continuous efforts to reduce vector insect populations. Malaria is probably the most prevalent and debilitating parasitic disease afflicting humans. It is normally caused by one of four species of Plasmodium . Infection with Entamoeba histolytica , resulting in amoebic colitis and liver abscesses, is the second leading cause of death resulting from a parasitic infection. E. histolytica Filariasis is caused by several different species of parasitic nematodes that are transmitted to humans by a variety of insect vectors. Collectively, the various species of filarial parasites are estimated to infect approximately 150 million people worldwide, and over 1 billion people live in areas where filariasis is common (WHO [2000] Fact Sheets 102, 95). While filarial infection is rarely life-threatening, it causes chronic suffering, social stigma and disability. The degree of disability resulting from infection greatly hinders the ability to work and the economic impact of this disease is considerable.

Introduction To Parasitology A misconception about parasitic infections is that they occur only in tropical areas. Many parasitic infections are transmitted from animals to humans http://gsbs.utmb.edu/microbook/intopara.htm
Extractions: Medical parasitology traditionally has included the study of three major groups of animals: parasitic protozoa, parasitic helminths (worms), and those arthropods that directly cause disease or act as vectors of various pathogens. A parasite is a pathogen that simultaneously injures and derives sustenance from its host. Some organisms called parasites are actually commensals, in that they neither benefit nor harm their host (for example, Entamoeba coli ). Although parasitology had its origins in the zoologic sciences, it is today an interdisciplinary field, greatly influenced by microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, and other life sciences. Infections of humans caused by parasites number in the billions and range from relatively innocuous to fatal. The diseases caused by these parasites constitute major human health problems throughout the world. (For example, approximately 30 percent of the world's population is infected with the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides .) The incidence of many parasitic diseases (e.g., schistosomiasis, malaria) have increased rather than decreased in recent years. Other parasitic illnesses have increased in importance as a result of the AIDS epidemic (e.g., cryptosporidiosis

Extractions: Background The design and development of school health programmes will require information at demographic characteristics of schoolchildren and the major health burdens of the school-age group, the opportunities for intervention and the appropriateness of the available infrastructure. This study aims to analyse demographic and parasitic infections status of schoolchildren and sanitary conditions of schools in Sanliurfa province of south-eastern Turkey. Method Results The demographic survey showed that number of schoolchildren was gradually decreased as their age's increase in shantytown school. The sex ratio was proportional until the second grade, after which the number of females gradually decreased in children in shantytown and rural schools while, in apartment area, schoolchildren was proportionally distributed between age groups and gender even the high-grade students. The prevalence of helminthic infections was %77.1 of the schoolchildren in shantytown, 53.2% in apartment district and 53.1% of rural area.
Extractions: Background One of the major health problems among HIV seropositive patients is superimposed infection due to the defect of immunity. Furthermore, intestinal parasite infection, which is also one of the basic health problems in tropical region, is common in these patients. In this study, a cross sectional study to document the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection in Thai HIV-infected patients with different immune status was performed. Methods A study of stool samples from 60 Thai HIV-infected patients with different immune status was performed at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand. Each patient was examined for CD4 count and screened for diarrheal symptoms.
