Comparison of serum antibody responses to Giardia lamblia of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients
Download1998
Belosevic, M., El-Mageid, S.A., Handousa, A.A., Hegazi, M.M., Abou-Shady, A.F., Soliman, M.M., Taghi-Kilani, R.
The circulating anti-parasite antibody response against Giardia lamblia in symptomatic and asymptomatic Egyptian children with confirmed giardiasis was examined. Symptomatic patients were identified using the following criteria: presence of only G. lamblia cysts in the feces, and one or more of...

Development of a Novel Engineered Bioprocess for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water and Tailings Fines/Bitumen/Water Separation
Download2014-12-09
Gamal El-Din, M., McPhedran, K., Islam, M.S.
The oil sands bitumen extraction process results in the creation of waste products including oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and mature fine tailings (MFT). Many technologies are currently under investigation to treat these waste products that are currently contained in vast storage...

Dietary lipids containing gangliosides reduce Giardia muris infection in vivo and survival of Giardia lamblia trophozoites in vitro
Download2004
Suh, M., Belosevic, M., Clandinin, M.T.
We examined whether a ganglioside supplemented diet affected the course of Giardia muris infection in mice and survival of Giardia lamblia trophozoites in vitro. Female CD-1 mice were fed 1 of 5 experimental diets : standard lab chow as a control diet; semi-synthetic diets containing 20% (w/w)...

Effects of Source of Metacercariae on Experimental Infection of Zygocotyle lunata (Digenea: Paramphistomidae) in CD-1 Mice.
Download1993
Shostak, A.W., Belosevic, M., Dharampaul, S.
Outbred (CD-1 strain) mice were infected experimentally with metacercariae of Zygocotyle lunata obtained from naturally infected Helisoma trivolvis. Growth, survival, and fecundity of the parasite and gross pathology in the host were evaluated. Metacercariae from 5 snail sources produced 3...

Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda) induces changes in expression of select genes of Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera)
Download2009
Belosevic, M., Shostak, A. W., Hitchen, S. J.
The flour beetle Tribolium confusum is a common experimental intermediate host for the tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta, but while many aspects of their host-parasite interactions have been determined to have genetic basis, the genes involved have not been identified. In this paper, we report on the...

Liang, J., Gamal El-Din, M., Estrada, L.P., Tumpa, F., Liu, Y.
The accumulation of mature fine tailings (MFT) in tailings ponds with very slow natural consolidation rate has been a concern for decades. Previous studies and current practices for tailings consolidation focus on the addition of various inorganic and organic additives to reduce MFT production...

Belosevic, M., Singh, A., Gamal El-Din, M., Li, C., McPhedran, K., Chelme-Ayala, P., Klamerth, N.
Large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are produced by the surface-mining oil sands industry in Alberta. The industry is following a no-release practice for OSPW due to its potential environmental toxicity. Both laboratory and field studies have demonstrated that OSPW is toxic...
