Identification of toxocara canis antigens by Western blot in experimentally infected rabbits.
Toxocariasis is a frequent helminthiasis that can cause visceral and ocular damage in humans specially in children. The identification of specific antigens of Toxocara canis is important in order to develop better diagnostic techniques. Ten rabbits were infected orally with a dose of 5000 Toxocara canis embryonated eggs. Rabbits were bled periodically and an ELISA assay was performed to determi...
متن کاملCardiac markers: profile in rats experimentally infected with Toxocara canis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of the enzymes creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in Wistar rats infected with 250 (GI, n = 24) or 1000 (GII, n = 24) Toxocara canis eggs. Animals were evaluated on days 7, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 post-infection (DPI). Only the GI rats showed an increase in CK and CK-MB, at 15 and 30 DPI, respectivel...
متن کاملMigration Routes of Toxocara Canis and Toxocara Cati in Tissues of Experimentally Infected Rattus Norvegicus
Toxocariasis is currently considered an important zoonosis in many countries and is usually attributed to larvae of Toxocara canis Werner, 1782 but less frequently, T. cat. This study attempts to compare the migration routes followed by T. canis and Toxocara cati (Schrank, 1788) in Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout, 1769 and to determine the percentage of larvae recovered in each organ of experiment...
متن کاملMuscular strength decrease in Rattus norvegicus experimentally infected by Toxocara canis.
The muscular strength of experimental infected Rattus norvegicus with 3rd. stage Toxocara canis larvae was investigated. Fifty Wistar rats, divided in three groups (G1-20 rats infected by 300 eggs of T. canis; G2-20 rats infected by 2,000 eggs of T. canis and G3-10 rats without infection) had been used. Ten and 30 days after infection the muscular strength in the fore-feet of the rats was check...
متن کاملBehavioral changes in Rattus norvegicus experimentally infected by Toxocara canis larvae.
Toxocara canis is a common canine nematode parasite and one of its possible transmission mechanisms is the predation of infected rodents by canids. Fifty Rattus norvegicus were used to study behavioral alterations in rodents infected by T. canis larvae. The rats were divided into three groups: G1, 20 rats infected with 300 T. canis eggs; G2, 20 rats infected with 2,000 T. canis eggs; and G3, 10...
