ABSTRACT
Background: Fasciola spp are common parasites in Iran. Excretory-secretory products (ESP) play an important role in the host biochemical defense by means of activities of detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential survival of parasites by detection of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica (Iranian isolates). Materials and Methods: F. gigantica and F. hepatica helminths were collected from Local abattoir and cultured in buffer media for 4-6 h at 37 °C. Excretory-Secretory products were collected, centrifuged and stored at -20◦C. E-S protein concentration was measured by Bradford method and SOD activity was detected using RANSOD kit (Randox Lab. Crumlin, UK). ESP protein bands were detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Results: SOD activity for F. hepatica and F. gigantica were obtained 0.721 U/ml and 1.189 U/ml respectively (p>0.05). Conclusion: Two species of Fasciola have comparable SOD biochemical defense enzyme and can help us explain the parasite survival in host tissue.

If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : vitality a. khachenko
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : relationsheep between two ( Iranian and ukrainian) parasitology scocities for joint project about the parasitology and parasitolgy disese.
Specialists can be representing three main fields of parasitological science - general, medical and veterinary - in two country.
unite the specialists for coordination and investigation of current problems in parasitology and for promotion of modern information.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : major problem about lack of mastercard
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : parasitological studies in eastern europ is very deep and is useful for parasitologist especially on taxonomy of parasites.
Since the foundation of the USSP, it has organised 12 conferences and 3 congresses, as well as a number of seminars, coordination meetings, etc. Below are listed the latest conferences of the USSP:

• XI Conference of the Ukrainian Scientific Society of Parasitologists (Kyiv, 1993);

• The Anniversary Conference of the Ukrainian Scientific Society of Parasitologists (Kyiv, 1995);

• XII Conference of the Ukrainian Scientific Society of Parasitologists (Sevastopol, 2002);

• XIII Conference of the Ukrainian Scientific Society of Parasitologists, dedicatet to the 100-th Anniversary of the Academician O. P. Markevich (Sevastopol-Laspi, 2005).

• The XIV Conference of the USSP “Parasites and Parasitoses: Contemporaneity and Risks” took place on September 21-24, 2009 in Uzhgorod.
