Experimental Infection of Swiss Albino Mice with Clostridium Chauvoei

Immunizalion of Cattle with Clostridium chauvoei Vaccine

EXPERIMENTAL Trypanosoma Evansi INFECTION IN ALBINO MICE – A HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY

Histopathological changes were studied in Swiss albino mice (N:36) which were challenged with the South Indian local strain of Trypanosoma evansi. Each animal was infected with 5×105 trypanosomes intraperitoneally. The animals were examined daily for development of clinical signs and infection status by wet blood-fi lms made from the tail veins. The infected mice were dull and depressed from tw...

Complexity of toxins from Clostridium septicum and Clostridium chauvoei.

Production of toxins by Clostridium septicum and Clostridium chauvoei has been the subject of many conflicting reports. Roux and Chamberland (1887) first noted that 3 to 4 day filtrates were antigenic; conferring on guinea pigs an immunity against infection with viable organisms. Production of a lethal toxin by C. septicum was however, demonstrated by Leclainche (1898) and Leclainche and Morel ...

Attenuation of N-nitrosodimethylamine induced hepatotoxicity by Operculina turpethum in Swiss Albino mice

  Objective(s): To appraise the antihepatotoxic efficacy of ethanolic extract of Operculum turpethum root on the liver of Swiss albino mice.   Materials and Methods:   Hepatic fibrosis was induced in adult male albino mice through intraperitoneal administrations of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) at the concentration of 10 mg/kg body weight. The liver toxicity and therapeutic effect of the ...

Anticancer Activity of Indigofera aspalathoides and Wedelia calendulaceae in Swiss Albino Mice

The methanolic extracts of Indigofera aspalathoides (MEIA) and Wedelia calendulaceae (MEWC) were evaluated for their anticancer activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice. On day 1, the extract of Indigofera aspalathoides at a dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight and the extract of Wedelia calendulaceae at a dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight were administered ora...
