Diode and Active Negative Resistance Behaviors of Helminth Eggs as a Novel Identification/Differentiation Probe.

ABSTRACT: Helminths have always been studied as one of the critically annoying pathogens of parasite classes due to their adverse effects on the ecosystem of human life. They have the potency to negatively affect their hosts as points of disease, infection, cancer, and death, but in this study, we found interesting electronic properties in Fasciola hepatica, Parascaris equorum (with and without larvae), Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Taenia multiceps, and Moniezia expansa eggs. This claim is attributed to some surprising characteristics such as significant diode behavior [forward bias, 5.36-11.17 (±0.01) V, versus the ground, GND] and backward bias (-45.0 to -125.0 (±7.0) V, versus the GND) and highly active negative resistance (-2.59 to -7.11) × 10¹⁵ (±1.5)
