متن کاملParasite-Derived MicroRNAs in Host Serum As Novel Biomarkers of Helminth Infection
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA that play important roles in disease processes in animals and are present in a highly stable cell-free form in body fluids. Here, we examine the capacity of host and parasite miRNAs to serve as tissue or serum biomarkers of Schistosoma mansoni infection. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We used Exiqon miRNA microarrays to profile miR...
متن کاملGenetic variability in parasites and host-parasite interactions.
We have examined genetic variability in parasites in the context of ecological interactions with the host. Recent research on Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium has been used to illustrate: (i) the problems that parasite variability and species recognition pose for understanding the complex and often controversial relationship between parasite and host occurrence; (ii) the need for accur...
متن کاملSurveying the Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites\' Infection in Food Handlers in Nowshahr and Chalous
Food handlers could be major sources of intestinal parasites transmission (specially Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica) in case of not observing the hygienic rules. To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites' infection in food handlers in Nowshahr and Chalous, 1373-74, 411 food handlers in three major groups including: 1) chelokababi(120), 2) sandwich makers(61), and 3) groceries,...
متن کاملSickle cell microRNAs inhibit the malaria parasite.
Sickle cell hemoglobin conveys resistance to malaria. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, LaMonte et al. (2012) demonstrate a surprising mechanism for this innate immunity. A microRNA enriched in sickle red blood cells is translocated into the parasite, incorporated covalently into P. falciparum mRNAs and inhibits parasite growth.
