Decreased susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes in mice after infection with Trichinella spiralis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mice challenged intravenously with Listeria monocytogenes at 7 or 21 days after Trichinella spiralis infection demonstrated a higher mean lethal dose and longer survival time than normal mice. This effect of helminthic infection was abrogated after 49 days.

Amelioration of Myogenin, Bcl-2 expression and DNA damages in myocytes of Trichinella spiralis-infected mice after immunization with gamma radiation-attenuated larvae
Background: In trichinosis, the presence of muscle larvae inside skeletal striated muscle causes loss of identity and function of myotube through the releasing of myogenin and myosin. Considering the dominant role of vaccination, research on gamma radiation-attenuated vaccine has very promising value. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of vaccination with radiation-attenuated ...
متن کاملProduction of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammatory mediators in human intestinal epithelial cells after invasion by Trichinella spiralis.
Epithelial cells are the first point of host contact for invasive intestinal pathogens and may initiate mucosal inflammatory responses via production of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators. The aim of the present study was to investigate in vitro the initial invasion of a parasitic nematode (Trichinella spiralis), to measure the early production of specific epithelial cytokines and inflamma...

We evaluated the effectiveness of fermentation, drying, and high pressure processing (HPP) to inactivate Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Trichinella spiralis in Genoa salami produced with trichinae-infected pork. In addition, we evaluated the effectiveness of using HPP to inactivate T. spiralis larvae in pig masseter tissue. In part A, Genoa salami batter ...
متن کاملApplication of tumor, bacterial and parasite susceptibility assays to study immune alterations induced by environmental chemicals
Model systems to study the effects of chemicals of environmental concern on bacterial and parasitic diseases as well as the immunosurveillance and destruction of transplantable tumor cells were described and evaluated. Studies were conducted in female B6C3F1 mice following adult or pre/postnatal exposure to several prototype chemicals. The prototype chemicals employed included the synthetic est...
متن کاملOral pretreatment of mice with CpG DNA reduces susceptibility to oral or intraperitoneal challenge with virulent Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an enteroinvasive intracellular bacterial pathogen that infects humans and other animals, including mice, sometimes resulting in severe systemic infections. Previous studies showed that intraperitoneal (i.p.) pretreatment of susceptible BALB/c mice with immune-stimulatory CpG DNA 48 to 96 h prior to i.p. challenge with virulent L. monocytogenes reduces bacterial number...
