Immunogenicity of Gamma-Irradiated Toxoplasma gondii Tachyzoites in Mice
The Immunogenicity of γ-irradiated tachyzoites of a highly virulent strain of Toxoplasma gondii (RH strain) was investigated. Immunized mice survived challenge infection and displayed increased interferon gamma (INF-γ ) production. On the other hand, nonimmunized controls died after 10 days and displayed a significantly decreased lymphoproliferative response to Concanavalin A (Con A). No tachyz...
متن کاملVertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii in Australian marsupials.
To date, little is known about the dynamics of vertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii in Australian marsupials. Studies in mice demonstrate that vertical transmission of T. gondii is common and that chronically infected mice can transmit T. gondii to successive generations. In this study, PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect T. gondii in chronically infected marsupial dams and t...
متن کاملSerial monoxenous transmission of Toxoplasma gondii in cats.
Abstract : Oral administration of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts to cats (i.e., monoxenous transmission) typically induces patent infections in fewer than half of test subjects. In the present study, oral administration of T. gondii oocysts to 5 kittens induced a patent infection in 2 of them, but only 1 kitten shed enough oocysts to enable further study. Those monoxenously-produced oocysts were ad...
متن کاملEvidence for high levels of vertical transmission in Toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii is a highly ubiquitous and prevalent parasite. Despite the cat being the only definitive host, it is found in almost all geographical areas and warm blooded animals. Three routes of transmission are recognised: ingestion of oocysts shed by the cat, carnivory and congenital transmission. In natural populations, it is difficult to establish the relative importance of these route...
متن کاملTick Longicin Implicated in the Arthropod Transmission of Toxoplasma gondii
Ticks surpass all other ectoparasitic arthropods in the number of diseases they transmit to animals and humans [1]. The hard tick Haemaphysalis is also the primary vector of the pathogens causing babesiosis in humans and domestic animals in Japan [2]. Antimicrobial peptides are a major component of the innate immune system in host defense, which is a well-conserved and evolutionarily ancient me...
