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 ...
The teratogenicity and behavioral teratogenicity of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and di-butyl Phthalate (DBP) in a chick model
(Elsevier, 2011-10-13)
Phthalates are industrial chemicals widely used in consumer products, plastics and children toys, and the risk
of exposure to phthalates, especially prenatal exposure, is a growing concern justifying the development of
an ...
Evolutionary changes in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the human genome from 9000 years BP until modern times
(Elsevier, 2015-02-13)
The demonstration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in ancient skeletons gives researchers an insight
into its evolution. Findings of the last two decades sketched the biological relationships between the
various species ...
Genetic, serological and biochemical characterization of Leishmania tropica fromfoci in northern Palestine and discovery of zymodeme MON-307
(Springer, 2012-06-18)
Background: Many cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) have been recorded in the Jenin District based on their
clinical appearance. Here, their parasites have been characterized in depth.
Methods: Leishmanial parasites ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Borrelia persica infection in dogs and cats: clinical manifestations, clinicopathologicalfindings and genetic characterization
(BMC, 2016-05-10)
Background: Relapsing fever (RF) is an acute infectious disease caused by arthropod-borne spirochetes of the
genus Borrelia. The disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever that concur with spirochetemia. The ...
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 ...
