Seroprevalence of Leptospiral infection in goats of Ahvaz

Experimental therapeutic studies of Solanum aculeastrum Dunal. on Leishmania major infection in BALB/c mice

Objective(s):Solanum acueastrum Dunal.has been shown to have some chemotherapeutic value. Leaf and berry water and methanol compounds of S. acueastrum were evaluated for possible antileishmanial activity In vivo on BALB/c mice and in vitro against Leishmania major promastigotes, amastigotes and vero cells.  Materials and Methods: Dry S. aculeastrum berry and leaf material were extracted in meth...

Seroprevalence of leptospiral infection in feline population in urban and dairy cattle herds in Mashhad, Iran

The importance of cats in the Leptospira epidemiology is due to the possibility of transferring leptospirosis to wild and domesticated animals. The purpose of this survey was to determine the prevalence of Leptospira infection in shorthair cats in different location of Mashhad, Iran. Totally, 147 blood samples were taken from 42 (28.57%), 52 (35.37%) and 53 (36.05%) households...

Different outcomes of experimental leptospiral infection in mouse strains with distinct genotypes.

The mouse disease model has the advantage of a broad array of immunological and genetic tools available for basic research. Some studies on transgenic and/or mutant mouse strains as models for experimental leptospirosis have been reported; however, the wider use of such models is hampered by a poor understanding of the outcome of experimental leptospiral infection among the different mouse stra...

Antimonials in Experimental Infection of Mice

The use of antimony compounds, particularly potassium antimonyl tartrate (Tartar emetic), in Cryptococcosis has occasionally been mentioned in the literature,2"' but no experimental study of the therapeutic rationale of the use of antimonials in this infection has to our knowledge ever been under-taken. It did not seem that Tartar emetic was of any therapeutic value, but this should not reflect...
