Immunity 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 purposes of these experiments were to determine: 1) the nature of this im...
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...
متن کاملExperimental Congenital Toxoplasmosis
Pregnant mice infected with Toxoplasma by the vaginal route have been found to transmit toxoplasmosis to the placentas and fetuses in utero. 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. Pl...
متن کاملExperimental Porcine Toxoplasma gondii Infection as a Representative Model for Human Toxoplasmosis
Porcine infections are currently not the state-of-the-art model to study human diseases. Nevertheless, the course of human and porcine toxoplasmosis is much more comparable than that of human and murine toxoplasmosis. For example, severity of infection, transplacental transmission, and interferon-gamma-induced antiparasitic effector mechanisms are similar in pigs and humans. In addition, the se...
متن کاملRumen protozoa in South African sheep with a summary of the worldwide distribution of sheep protozoa.
Protozoa species were identified in rumen contents of four domestic sheep (Ovis aries) from South Africa. All animals were fed a forage diet which consisted of 50% lucerne and 50% teff hay. Ten new host records were identified, bringing the total number of species and forms observed in sheep in South Africa to 30. The occurrence and geographic distribution of ciliate protozoa in both domest...
