Identification and genetic characterization of Cytauxzoon felis in asymptomatic domestic cats and bobcats.
The objectives of the current study were to assess the prevalence of Cytauxzoon felis infection among a population of domestic cats that were clinically healthy but at higher risk for parasite exposure and to determine if the strains present in these asymptomatically infected cats were genetically unique as compared to those present both in domestic cats that were fatally infected and in the na...
متن کاملTwo Tales of Cytauxzoon felis Infections in Domestic Cats.
Cytauxzoonosis is an emerging infectious disease that affects wild felids as well as the domestic cat; it is caused by the apicomplexan protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Cytauxzoon. Cytauxzoonfelis is the species of major concern, whose transmission occurs via the bite of an infected tick. Cytauxzoonosis of the domestic cat has historically been considered uniformly fatal, with a short...
متن کاملبررسی گلیکوزیلاسیون آنتی ژن (apical membrane antigen) ama1 در پلاسمودیوم فالسیپاروم
یک فرآیند مهم در چرخه زندگی پلاسمودیوم فالسیپاروم تهاجم به گلبولهای قرمز انسان است. ورود به سلولهای میزبان نیازمند آنتی ژن ama1 می باشد. بدلیل اینکه در یوکاریتوها آنتی بادیهایی که بر علیه این آنتی ژن ایجاد می شود می تواند مانع تهاجم شود بنابراین ama1 یکی از اهداف اولیه در تولید واکسن به شمار می رود. گفته می شود گلیکوزیلاسیون پروتئینهای سطحی در بسیاری از اعمال سلولی نظیر شناسایی سلولها سیگنالینگ...
15 صفحه اولIdentification and Characterization of Eimeria tenella Apical Membrane Antigen-1 (AMA1)
Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA1) is a micronemal protein of apicomplexan parasites that appears to be essential during the invasion of host cells. In this study, a full-length cDNA of AMA1 was identified from Eimeria tenella (Et) using expressed sequence tag and the rapid amplification of cDNA ends technique. EtAMA1 had an open reading frame of 1608 bp encoding a protein of 535 amino acids. Qua...
متن کاملFrequency of Piroplasms Babesia microti and Cytauxzoon felis in Stray Cats from Northern Italy
Emerging diseases caused by piroplasms pose a health risk for man and other animals, and domestic cats have been proposed as potential reservoirs for some piroplasm infections. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of the piroplasms Babesia microti and Cytauxzoon felis in stray cats from northern Italy and to identify possible risk factors associated with these infections. Blood s...
