Rebound phenomenon of parasitemia in splenectomized calves primarily infected with Theileria sergenti.

NOTE Clinical Pathology Cytokine and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expressions in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Related Clinical Characteristics in Theileria orientalis sergenti-Infected Calves

Eight splenectomized calves were inoculated with Theileria orientalis sergenti (Tos)-infected tick gland homogenate (5 calves) or infected erythrocyte suspension (3 calves). Clinical characteristics were different in calves post-infection. Animals were divided into 3 groups on the basis of susceptibility as high, middle, and low. Increase in mRNA of IFNγ, IL-2, and TNF-α was observed in periphe...

The Rebound Phenomenon in Acute

Children suffering from acute rheumatic fever are usually treated with the hormone preparations, cortisone and A.C.T.H., or with salicylates. Almost always symptoms are rapidly alleviated and clinical signs of activity subside. In a number of cases discontinuance of treatment when the disease process seems to be quiescent is followed by an apparent recrudescence. This feature has become known a...

Increased Plasmodium falciparum Parasitemia in Non-splenectomized Saimiri sciureus Monkeys Treated with Clodronate Liposomes

A major constraint in the study of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, including vaccine development, lies on the parasite's strict human host specificity and therefore the shortage of animal experimental models able to harbor human plasmodia. The best experimental models are neo-tropical primates of the genus Saimiri and Aotus, but they require splenectomy to reduce innate defenses for achieving hi...
