First-Time Detection of Mycobacterium bovis in Livestock Tissues and Milk in the West Bank, Palestinian Territories
(Plos, 2013-09-12)
Background: Bovine tuberculosis, bTB, is classified by the WHO as one of the seven neglected zoonontic diseases that cause
animal health problems and has high potential to infect humans. In the West Bank, bTB was not ...
Serological and molecular survey of Leishmania parasites in apparently healthy dogs in the West Bank, Palestine
(BMC, 2012-08-31)
Background: Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by Leishmania infantum in all Mediterranean countries.
The Leishmania parasite is transmitted by the bite of a corresponding sand fly vector and primarily maintained ...
Simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium bovis and M. tuberculosis in an apparentlyimmunocompetent patient
(International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2013-09-17)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains the main cause
of human tuberculosis (TB), with an unknown proportion
of cases caused by M. bovis. Here we describe
a case of pulmonary TB caused by mixed infection as
studied from ...
Multilocus microsatellite typing reveals a genetic relationship but, also, genetic differencesbetween Indian strains of Leishmania tropica causing cutaneous leishmaniasis and thosecausing visceral leishmaniasis
(BMC BIoMed Central, 2014-03-24)
Background: Leishmaniases are divided into cutaneous (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In the Old World, CL
is caused by Leishmania (L.) major, L. tropica and L. aethiopica. L. tropica can also visceralize and cause ...
Molecular Detection of Theileria, Babesia, and Hepatozoon spp. in ixodid ticks from Palestine
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
Ixodid ticks transmit various infectious agents that cause disease in humans and livestock worldwide.
A cross-sectional survey on the presence of protozoan pathogens in ticks was carried out to assess the
impact of ...
Molecular Detection and Identification of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Ticks Collected from the West Bank, Palestinian Territories
(GrossMark, 2016-01-15)
Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the spotted
fever group (SFG) rickettsiae. Although Spotted Fever is prevalent in the Middle East,
no reports for the presence of ...
Increased Prevalence of Human Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Israel and The Palestinian Authority Caused by the Recent Emergence of a Population of Genetically Similar Strains of Leishmania tropica
(Elsevier, 2016-08-05)
Twelve unlinked microsatellite markers were used to determine the microsatellite profiles of 50 newly and 46
previously typed strains of L. tropica from various Israeli and Palestinian foci. Their microsatellite profiles ...
Incidence of Echinococcus granulosus in Domestic Dogs in Palestine as Revealed by Copro-PCR
(GrossMark, 2015-07-16)
Hydatidosis or echinococcosisis considered a neglected zoonotic disease despite its high
burden in the livestock industry and the high risk of infection by humans in endemic areas.
In a cross-sectional study we estimated ...
Urinary organophosphate metabolite levels in Palestinian pregnant women: results of the Middle East Regional Cooperation Project
(MDPI, 2015-11-17)
The purpose of the study was to measure urinary organophosphate (OP) metabolites
in Palestinian pregnant women, and to compare levels with those in pregnant women
in Jerusalem and women from the general population in ...
Epidemiological and clinical features of cutaneous leishmaniases in Jenin District,Palestine, including characterisation of the causative agents in clinical samples
(Elsevier, 2012-07-24)
During 2002–2009, 466 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) were reported from Jenin
District, Palestine, affecting both genders. The average annual incidence was 23 cases per
