Eosinophils and resistance to Trichinella spiralis
Mice infected with Trichinella spiralis were depleted of eosinophils by repeated administration of rabbit anti-mouse eosinophil serum. There was no effect on the spontaneous expulsion of adult worms from the small intestines, but the numbers of larvae in the muscles were almost doubled. It is concluded that eosinophils contribute to resistance to the systemic phase of trichinosis.
متن کاملProtease-Activated Receptor 2 Is Involved in Th2 Responses against Trichinella spiralis Infection
In order to get a better understanding of the role of protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) in type 2 helper T (Th2) cell responses against Trichinella spiralis infection, we analyzed Th2 responses in T. spiralis-infected PAR2 knockout (KO) mice. The levels of the Th2 cell-secreted cytokines, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 were markedly reduced in the PAR2 KO mice as compared to the wild type mice follow...
متن کاملImmune Correlates of Resistance to Trichinella spiralis Reinfection in Mice
The immune correlate of host resistance induced by reinfection of Trichinella spiralis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated immune correlates between the resistance and serum IgG antibody level, CD23+ IgM+ B cells, and eosinophil responses induced by T. spiralis reinfection. Mice were primarily infected with 10 or 100 T. spiralis larvae (10 TS, 100 TS), respectively, and after 4 week...
متن کاملEfficacy of mebendazole and albendazole against Trichinella spiralis in mice.
Changes in the sensitivity of Trichinella spiralis to anthelmintic treatment during the first 3 days of infection in mice were studied. Oral administration of either mebendazole or albendazole at 6.25 mh/kg 2 hr after exposure to infection eliminated 95-100% of the worms as determined at necropsy on day 7 postinoculation. Beyond the first day of infection the sensitivity of the parasite to benz...
متن کاملThe efficacy of flubendazole against Trichinella spiralis in swine.
A trial was undertaken to assess the efficacy of flubendazole against experimentally induced trichinellosis in pigs when given mixed with food at different dose rates. At the start of the experiment, 48 pigs were infected with approximately 35,000 larvae of Trichinella spiralis, afterwards the animals were distributed in six groups. The first three groups were used to test the activity of the d...
