Characterization of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) from Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera:Psychodidae) expressed sequence tags (ESTs)
(BioMed Central, 2011-09-08)
Background: Phlebotomus papatasi is a natural vector of Leishmania major, which causes cutaneous leishmaniasis
in many countries. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), or microsatellites, are common in eukaryotic genomes and ...
Molecular diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Libya
(GrossMark, 2016-04-16)
Background: Toxoplasma gondii infections are prevalent in humans and animals throughout Libya. Current diagnosis
is based on detection of Toxoplasma-specific IgM and IgG. In this study, we established and optimized a ...
Moroccan Leishmania infantum: Genetic Diversity and Population Structure as Revealed by Multi-Locus Microsatellite Typing
(Public Library of Science, 2013-10-17)
Leishmania infantum causes Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in northern Morocco. It predominantly affects
children under 5 years with incidence of 150 cases/year. Genetic variability and population structure have ...

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major public health problem in Libya. The objective of this study was to
investigate, for the first time, epidemiological features of CL outbreaks in Libya including molecular ...
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 ...

Background: New foci of human CL caused by strains of the Leishmania donovani (L. donovani) complex have been recently
described in Cyprus and the C¸ ukurova region in Turkey (L. infantum) situated 150 km north of Cyprus. ...
Paracetamol biodegradation by activated sludge and photo-catalysis and its removal by a micelleclay complex, activated charcoal and reverse osmosis membranes
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-07)
Kinetic studies on the stability of the pain killer paracetamol in Al-Quds activated sludge demonstrated that paracetamol underwent biodegradation within less than one month to furnish p-aminophenol in high yields. ...
