  • Trichomonas vaginalis , a common sexually transmitted parasite in developed countries , is one of the greatest examples of parasitic reinfection. (probacto.com)
  • As such, these people can be cured from their parasitic disease and become infected again by another contact with the parasite. (probacto.com)
  • However, it is usually more pertinent to do this type of parasite characterisation in the context of scientific research rather than in the context of parasitic disease's treatment. (probacto.com)

Avidus6
  • Miamiensis avidus is a species of unicellular marine eukaryote that is a parasite of many different types of fish. (wikipedia.org)
  • The name Philasterides dicentrarchi was originally applied to a similar ciliate identified as an infectious parasite in Mediterranean sea bass, but is now recognized as a junior synonym of M. avidus. (wikipedia.org)
  • In one comparative study, M. avidus infections spread further within host fish and had a significantly higher mortality rate than did similar scuticociliates. (wikipedia.org)
  • Infections caused by M. avidus have been described in wild fish populations and in aquaculture, where it is an economically significant pathogen. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is unclear what triggers free-living M. avidus to initiate infection. (wikipedia.org)

Species5
  • Clayton Burgoyne (2015) Parasite Communities of the Gills of Thirteen Rockfish Species ( Sebastes spp. (viu.ca)
  • A total of 12,242,559 parasites were recovered from hosts in the eight fish farms, and 87.4% of fish were infected by one or more parasite species, such as Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Piscinoodinium pillulare, Trichodinasp. (bvsalud.org)
  • Ichthyophthirius multifiliis presented dominance, but the greatest levels of parasitism were caused by I. multifiliis, P. pilulare, monogenoideans species and P. gamitanae, and all these parasites had an aggregate dispersion. (bvsalud.org)
  • Depending on the parasite species involved, it is very likely to experience relapses or reinfection after the treatment. (probacto.com)
  • In this case, it means that the presence of the parasites within the body eliminates the risk of being newly infected by another species of the same parasite. (probacto.com)
Intestinal1
  • See Common Intestinal Parasites , a Critical Images slideshow, to help make an accurate diagnosis. (medscape.com)
Experimental1
  • The ultimate goal of a parasite culture is to provide readily manipulated material of defined life stages for replicable experimental research. (ap24534inhibitor.com)
Vaccine1
  • Although advances in aquatic parasite culture lag behind the growth in aquaculture, culturing remains a valuable tool in medical and veterinary parasitology as it enables understanding of basic parasite biology, facilitates vaccine and chemotherapeutic development, and improves diagnoses. (ap24534inhibitor.com)
Diseases2
  • shed new light on the importance of chloroplasts in the evolution of life and may help develop new treatments for diseases caused by apicomplexan parasites. (elifesciences.org)

Freshwater1
  • Furthermore, global change is predicted to have important effects on parasitism in both freshwater and marine ecosystems, through changes in parasite distribution and transmission rates [1]. (ap24534inhibitor.com)
Microorganisms3
  • Scuticociliates are free-living marine microorganisms that can function as opportunistic or facultative parasites. (wikipedia.org)
  • As parasites could be very persistent within the human body and hide from the reach of the treatment and the activity of the immune system for a long period of time, relapses are quite common for this type of microorganisms. (probacto.com)
  • Reinfections are common with parasites because immunity against this type of microorganisms is very hard to achieve. (probacto.com)
Resistant2
  • Furthermore, it is also likely that a sub-population of parasites become resistant to the treatment and proliferates afterwards. (probacto.com)
  • In this case, the person could initially feel better with the treatment, but experience a quick relapse as the resistant parasites proliferate. (probacto.com)
Human2
  • Humans acquire this infection through water and food contaminated with pig or human feces. (medscape.com)
  • Very few cases of human B coli infection have been reported in India. (medscape.com)
Mechanisms1
  • This phenomenon is mostly linked to the mechanisms used by the parasites to evade the immune system that impair the achievement of immunity against parasites. (probacto.com)
Anguilla1
  • Metazoan parasite communities in the American eel, Anguilla rostrata: patterns, processes and applicability as biological indicators. (viu.ca)
Humans2
  • They are able to multiply in humans, which contributes to their survival and also permits serious infections to develop from just a single organism. (cdc.gov)
  • Umesh demonstrated a case of urinary balantidiasis in a 29-year-old woman in Mumbai, India, but this report failed to demonstrate B coli on stool examination, required to confirm the hypothesis of extraintestinal B coli infection in humans. (medscape.com)
Occur2
  • Relapses occur when a parasite comes back after being only partially treated meaning that it has persisted within the body despite the treatment. (probacto.com)
  • It is also the case for parasites that remain within the body for life, such as Toxoplasma gondii , and for which only symptoms, if they occur, are periodically treated. (probacto.com)
Commonly1

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate the parasites and parasite-host relationship in Colossoma macropomum from eight fish farms in Amapá State, Northern Brazil. (bvsalud.org)
  • Of the 100 examined fish, 90.0% were parasitized by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora), Dawestrema cycloancistrium, Dawestrema cycloancistrioides (Monogenoidea) and Polyacanthorhynchus macrorhynchus (Acanthocephala), which had an aggregated distribution pattern. (bvsalud.org)
  • Infection rates were different for each fish farm, due to different water quality and management characteristics. (bvsalud.org)
Common5
  • The analysis revealed that, unexpectedly, apicomplexan parasites do not share a close common ancestor and are therefore not a natural grouping from an evolutionary perspective. (elifesciences.org)
  • Further analysis demonstrated that cryptic chloroplasts are common in apicomplexan parasites, including in lineages where they were not previously known to exist. (elifesciences.org)
  • The parasite-host system of tapeworm Khawia sinensis and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was used to address this issue. (nel.edu)
  • Here we show accumulation of microcystin MC-RR in the tapeworm Khawia sinensis, a parasite of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). (nel.edu)
  • This situation is common because the source of the infection in the environment is not eliminated. (probacto.com)
Unclear1
  • However, it remains unclear how widespread cryptic chloroplasts are in these parasites, largely because few apicomplexans have been successfully grown in the laboratory. (elifesciences.org)
Tissues1
  • Alternatively, the immature (larval) states can cause disease through their infection of various body tissues. (cdc.gov)
Develop2
Similar1
  • Phylogenetic analysis reveals that apicomplexan-like parasites are polyphyletic and their similar morphologies emerged convergently at least three times. (elifesciences.org)
Types1
