Epilepsy and seropositivity rates of Toxocara canis and Toxoplasma gondii
PURPOSE Increased seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara canis have been observed in epileptic patients. Our aim is to determine whether there is any relationship between these agents and epilepsy in our cryptogenic epilepsy group. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied specific IgG antibodies against T. gondii and T. canis in 100 cryptogenic epileptic patients and 50 healthy volunteers t...
متن کاملComment on “Epilepsy and seropositivity rates of Toxocara canis and Toxoplasma gondii”
We have read with great interest the paper from Akyol et al. looking for the link between Toxocara or Toxoplasma seropositivity and epilepsy. On the basis of their findings, the authors concluded that they did not find any association between epilepsy and Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara canis seropositivity. To date only a few studies have been carried out on this issue and, from this point of v...
متن کاملBEHAVIORAL AND MEMORY CHANGES IN Mus musculus COINFECTED BY Toxocara canis AND Toxoplasma gondii
Several researchers have stated that parasites can alter the behavior of their hosts, in order to increase the transmission rate, principally when prey-predator relationships are a reliable way of infection transmission. The aim of this study was to verify the occurrence of changes in anxiety and short-term memory patterns in experimentally infected Mus musculus by Toxocara canis and/or Toxopla...
متن کاملBehavioral changes in Rattus norvegicus coinfected by Toxocara canis and Toxoplasma gondii.
Using an elevated plus maze apparatus and an activity cage, behavioral changes in Rattus norvegicus concomitantly infected by Toxocara canis and Toxoplasma gondii were studied, during a period of 120 days. Rats infected by Toxocara canis or Toxoplasma gondii showed significant behavioral changes; however, in the group coinfected by both parasites a behavioral pattern similar to that found in th...
متن کاملDetermination of diagnostic value of Toxoplasma gondii recombinant ROP2 and ROP4 antigens in mouse experimental model.
The aim of this study was to test the potential diagnostic usefulness of recombinant Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry antigens, ROP2 and ROP4, with respect to toxoplasmosis detection and infection phase distinction in laboratory mouce by determining specific serum IgM and IgG antibodies with the use of indirect ELISA technique. The mice antibody response to ROP antigens was significantly higher in the...
