Neuroretinal xenotransplantation to immunocompetent hosts in a discordant species combination.
In spite of its immune privileged state, xenotransplantation within the CNS is associated with rapid graft destruction in immunocompetent hosts. Efforts to enhance graft survival have mostly focused on host immune response, whereas relatively little attention has been paid to donor tissue characteristics. In the present paper, we explore long-term survival of xenogeneic full-thickness neuroreti...
متن کاملEchinococcosis Risk among Domestic Definitive Hosts, Japan
To the Editor: Echinococcosis is a serious parasitic zoonosis in the Northern Hemisphere. In Japan, it is characterized by alveolar, hepatic, and cerebral disorders in humans caused by the larval form (metacestode) of the tapeworm Echinococcus multiloc-ularis. The life cycle of the parasite is maintained in the wild by gray-backed voles, Clethrionomys rufo-canus, as intermediate hosts, and by r...
متن کاملFirst experience with heterotopic thoracic pig-to-baboon cardiac xenotransplantation.
BACKGROUND Heterotopic thoracic heart transplantation may be an alternative to the established heterotopic abdominal or orthotopic cardiac xenotransplantation model as it combines the safety of heterotopic transplantation with the benefit of a working heart model. METHODS In a first series of two animals, we tested the surgical feasibility of this procedure with non-transgenic pig hearts tran...

متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: adaptation to its vectors and its hosts
American trypanosomiasis is a parasitic zoonosis that occurs throughout Latin America. The etiological agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, is able to infect almost all tissues of its mammalian hosts and spreads in the environment in multifarious transmission cycles that may or not be connected. This biological plasticity, which is probably the result of the considerable heterogeneity of the taxon, exempl...
