Antiparasite treatments reduce humoral immunity and impact oxidative status in raptor nestlings
Parasites are natural stressors that may have multiple negative effects on their host as they usurp energy and nutrients and may lead to costly immune responses that may cause oxidative stress. At early stages, animals may be more sensitive to infectious organisms because of their rapid growth and partly immature immune system. The objective of this study was to explore effects of parasites by ...
متن کاملThe Biochemistry of the Malaria Parasite
Little is known concerning the nitrogen metabolism of the malaria parasite or of its nitrogen requirements. Christophers and Fulton (1) have made limited observations regarding these questions, but no systematic studies have been published. Since the erythrocytic forms of the malaria parasite rapidly increase in size and number in the blood of infected animals, t,he requirement of nitrogen for ...
متن کاملBiochemistry of Blood Platelets
Due to the scope of the discipline, an annual survey of teratology must encompass a broad spectrum of findings from the bio-medical sciences. The first volume in this series does range topically in including reviews on aspects of cytogenetic, pharmacological, radiobiological, and immunological problems. If a field such as teratology is to be reviewed, one cannot expect a high degree of correspo...
متن کاملMolecular biology and biochemistry of malarial parasite pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway.
Metabolic pathways in the malarial parasite are markedly different from the host, eg, hemoglobin, fatty acids, folate and nucleic acids. Understanding of metabolic function will illuminate new chemotherapeutic targets for drug development, including the identification of target(s) for drugs in current use. The parasite-contained pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway is essential for growth and develo...
