Parasitic infection in various stages life of cultured Acipenser persicus
The present study was conducted to evaluate the status of the parasite fauna in Acipenser persicus at different development stages, in order to find prevention protocols for parasitic diseases in this valuable species. For this purpose, sampling from each sex breeder, 10 egg samples, 5-day-old larvae (n = 20), 20-day-old larvae (n = 80) and fingerling of A. persicus (n = 60) r...
متن کاملLeishmania (Leishmania) amazonenis Infection, Suriname
sociated with several days of heavy rainfall from typhoons. Therefore, the typhoons may be the reason for high incidence in October–December. The annual incidence of leptospirosis in Taiwan is relatively lower than that in other countries with tropical or subtropical climates. Our study does not conclusively document the reason for lower incidence, although it does suggest an association betwee...
متن کاملTyphi genes expressed during infection or involved in pathogenesis.
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Typhi), the aetiologic agent of typhoid fever, is a human restricted pathogen. Elucidation of the interactions between the infected host and this pathogen is critical to understand infectious diseases but is deterred by a lack of in vivo infection assays, since Typhi uniquely infects humans and there is no suitable animal model. Macrophages can be used as an a...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Genes Involved in Leishmania Pathogenesis: The Potential for Drug Target Selection
Identifying and characterizing Leishmania donovani genes and the proteins they encode for their role in pathogenesis can reveal the value of this approach for finding new drug targets. Effective drug targets are likely to be proteins differentially expressed or required in the amastigote life cycle stage found in the patient. Several examples and their potential for chemotherapeutic disruption ...
متن کاملDendritic cells in Leishmania infection.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key elements of the immune system, which function as sentinel in the periphery and alert T lymphocytes about the type of invading antigen and address their polarisation, in order to mount an efficacious immune response. Leishmania spp. are parasitic protozoa which may cause severe disease in humans and domestic animals. In this work, the main studies concerning the rol...
