ABSTRACT
Com o evoluir da Medicina, inúmeras técnicas, métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento foram surgindo para as novas doenças constantemente descobertas. E, nessa realidade, com freqüência deparamo-nos com médicos capazes de tratar doenças complexas, com tecnologias modernas. Porém muitos se esquecem de considerar doenças básicas da comunidade, como é o caso das parasitoses intestinais, uma realidade brasileira que, embora prevalecente nas camadas socioeconomicamente menos favorecidas, afeta todos os níveis sociais. A finalidade deste artigo é promover uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema e abordar as principais parasitoses, dando subsídio ao diagnóstico, e, principalmente, frisar a conscientização da necessidade das medidas preventivas

One hundred and twenty chickens [60 Hypeco and 60 Fayoumi chicken] were studied in this experiment to observe the impact of Ascaridia galli infestation on some productive characters under Egyptian environmental conditions. The chickens used were experimentally infested with 300 embryonated Ascaridia galli eggs at ages of 15, 30 and 45 days old. Ascaridia galli was proved to affect growth rate, feed conversion and feed utilization. The economic evaluation of local and foreign poultry breeds in meat production and feed consumption indicated serious losses due to Ascaridia galli infestation in Hypeco and Fayoumi breeds

One hundred and twenty Hypeco and Fayoumi chicken breeds were used in this experiment. Chickens were experimentally infected with embryonated Ascaridia galli at different ages and were slaughtered during the 2 phases of infection: Tissue phase, 20 days post infection and during the intestinal phase, 40 days post infection. The blood of each chicken was calculated and the macro- and microelements as well as the total protein, albumin and globulin were estimated. Physiological status was affected especially macro [inorganic phosphorus [Pi]] and microelements; zinc [Zn] concentration decreased significantly. Also, copper [Cu] was affected. Total plasma protein and globulin level increased significantly

A ascaridíase das vias biliares é a localizaçåo ectópica mais freqüente desta helmintíase. O notável progressåo alcançado pela ultra-sonografia e pela endoscopia nos últimos anos modifica a metodologia diagnóstica e a conduta terapêutica desta afecçåo. Os autores relatam sete casos de ascaridíase das vias biliares, quatro deles diagnosticados através de achado intra-operatório, um deles por exame necroscópico e outros dois casos através do exame duodenoscópio. Såo discutidos os aspectos etiopatogênicos, fisiopatológicos, clínicos e de conduta terapêutica desta afecçåo
