Experimental toxoplasmosis of the uveal tract.
Introduction THE histopathological studies of Wilder (1952) on eyes removed on account of intractable iritis of unknown origin suggest that toxoplasmosis may have been the cause in some cases. Following on her work, requests were received for the serological investigation of patients suffering from chronic anterior uveitis of undetermined aetiology.

متن کاملImmunity in Experimental Toxoplasmosis*
The Beverley strain of Toxoplasma gondii produces a chronic infection in mice and other laboratory animals, causing few or no fatalities. There is an immune response to the parasite that can be detected by a variety of serological teclmiques, with however but little understandillg of the significance of the phemmenon.

The microorganism entered the blood stream of the mother from primary foci of infection in the vaginal wall and produced disseminated lesions in the labyrinth of the allantoic placenta at the same time as other peripheral maternal tissues were involved.

متن کاملMultiple malignant melanomata of the uveal tract in one eye.
THE literature on malignant melanoma of the uveal tract is extensive but case reports of multiple malignant tumours of this type are infrequent. Freckles and naevi are present in approximately 50 per cent. of normal eyes and "are even more frequent and larger in eyes which also contain malignant melanoma of the uveal tract" (Hogan and Zimmerman, 1962). According to Reese (1956), when the malign...
متن کاملExperimental toxoplasmosis in hypoiodemic mice
The hypothesis, that hypoiodemia of goats causes such a compromise of the immune system, which during subsequent Toxoplasma gondii infections results in clinically more pronounced signs of toxoplasmosis, was verifying in laboratory mouse. Hypoiodemic mice (fed by wheat and supplied by water), normoiodemic mice (fed by wheat and supplied by water containing 1.25 mg KI/l) and the majority of stan...
