RESUMO
A total of 200 patients with acute and chronic hepatic diseases and 100 apparently normal cross-matched controls were examined for the parasitic cause. The IHAT showed 3% had hydatid cysts, 3% had fascioliasis and 53.5% had schistosomiasis. However, no eggs were detected in the fascioliasis patients and only 4 & 3 cases showed S. mansoni and S. haematobium eggs in stools & urines respectively. ELISA showed 10% with visceral larva migrans & 65.5% with toxoplasmosis (IgG, IgM or both). On the other hand, 27% of the controls showed antibodies against toxoplasmosis.

Out of 150 Egyptian bats (Pipistrellus Kuhli) hunted in the premises of Sohag City, 60 (40%) were harbouring typanosomes of the subgenus Megatypanum (Hoare, 1964). They were T. M. heybergi (Rodhian, 1923), T. M. possoai (Dean and Sugary, 1963) and T. M. magadermae (Wenyon, 1990).
