“…They are characterized by a formula X 2 YZ and own the XA phase in space group F43m (216) (Figure 1b) that differs from L2 1 in the occupation of B and C sites. Even in this case the papers with theoretical calculations prevail [19,20] and if the alloys are produced, then mainly by mentioned conventional technologies [21,22].…”

Ternary Mn2FeSi alloy was synthesized from pure elemental powders by mechanical alloying, using a high-energy planetary ball mill. The formation of an inverse-Heusler phase after 168 h of milling and subsequent annealing at 1173 K for 1.5 h was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The diffractogram analysis yielded XA structure and the lattice parameter 0.5677 nm in a good agreement with the theoretically obtained value of 0.560 nm. The final powder was formed by particles of irregular shape and median diameter D50 of 3.8 μm and their agglomerates. The chemical analysis resulted in the mean composition of 49.0 at.% Mn, 25.6 at.% Fe and 25.4 at.% Si. At room temperature, the prepared samples featured a heterogeneous magnetic structure consisting of dominant paramagnetic phase confirmed by Mössbauer spectrometry and a weak ferro-/ferrimagnetic contribution detected by magnetization curves. From the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled curves the Néel temperature of 67 K was determined.

“…Antibody detection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed and commercialized for routine use in the diagnosis of Fasciola infection in livestock. Their diagnostic sensitivity and specificity have been reviewed by several groups (Alvarez Rojas et al 2014;Lalrinkima et al 2021). Most of these antibody-detection ELISAs are based on cysteine protease antigens of F. hepatica and F. gigantica.…”

“…These animals contribute significantly to the milk and meat industries of these countries. A high prevalence of F. gigantica infection has been reported in buffaloes in India (reviewed by Lalrinkima et al 2021). Typically, fasciolosis in buffaloes is detected using anti-bovine IgG immunoglobulin conjugates as anti-buffalo IgG conjugates are not commercially available.…”

“…Therefore, there are no data available on the prevalence or endemicity of this zoonotic parasite in humans on the Indian sub-continent. In most human cases of Fasciola infection in India, the species was reported as F. hepatica, with only a few reports incriminating it as F. gigantica (reviewed by Lalrinkima et al 2021). No molecular markers were used for detection of the Fasciola species in these reports.…”

Fasciolosis, caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, is an impediment to the livestock industry’s expansion and has a massively negative socio-economic impact due to its widespread prevalence in livestock. It is a waterborne zoonosis affecting human populations in the countries where rural economies are associated with livestock rearing. Conventional diagnosis of Fasciola infection is done by detecting parasite eggs in the faeces of infected animals or by immunological methods. Accurate and quick immunodiagnosis of Fasciola infection in animals and humans is based on the detection of antibodies and specific antigens expressed in the prepatent stage of the parasite. Both molecular and serodiagnostic tests developed thus far have enhanced the reliability of Fasciola diagnosis in both man and animals but are not widely available in resource-poor nations. A pen-side diagnostic test based on a lateral flow assay or a DNA test like loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) would be simple, fast, and cost-effective, enabling clinicians to treat animals in a targeted manner and avoid the development of drug resistance to the limited flukicides. This review focuses on the recent advances made in the diagnosis of this parasite infection in animals and humans.

“…They are the kind of animals having no spinal cord but the specific oral organs to suck the food. Trematodes are caused by the trematodes like Schistosoma haematobium, a blood fluke causing schistosomiasis (human bladder cancer) ; Clonorchis sinensis, a Chinese liver fluke causing fish borne human cholangiocarcinoma; Opisthorchis viverrini, a southeast Asian liver fluke causing opisthorchiasis or human cholangiocarcinoma; Fasciola hepatica, a sheep and cattle liver fluke causing human fasciliasis; Fasciolopsis buski, an intestinal pig fluke causing human fasciolopsiasis and Paragonimus westermani, an eastern Asian lung fluke causing human paragoniasis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The above-mentioned flatworms and flukes are important as they cause various diseases and cancer in human.…”

This is very surprising for us that still most of the peoples are not mentally prepared to accept the fact that some of the human cancers are caused by certain bacteria, viruses, fungi and some of the photosynthetic microorganisms. And, this is found again very shocking if the causal organisms are the worms. A variety of human trematodes developed several fatal diseases like urinary and biliary interruptions, high grade jaundice and even stone formation in human if not treated well within time. Similarly, Schistosoma haematobium causes bladder cancer and Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis developed cholangiocarcinoma. The present review deals with the study of certain trematodes parasitizing in human developing disease complications causing cancer. And, this is carried out with the help of recent researches done so far in the field of human helminthic oncology and parasitology
