Blood Parasitic Diseases and Specific Immune Responses
نویسنده
چکیده
A survey conducted by the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) on the occurrence of blood parasitic diseases amongst its Member Countries identifies protozoan diseases (trypanosomosis, theileriosis, babesiosis) and rickettsial (anaplasmosis, cowdriosis and ehrlichiosis) as being of economic importance. Each of the diseases listed above had a variable economic impact in the responding countries. The molecular complexity and the exhibition of antigenic variation by some of the causal agents ensures the survival of these parasites.

Immune Responses to Antigens of in vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worms in Balb/c Mice
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...
متن کاملThe effects of Curcuma zedoaria and Zingiber zerumbet on non-specific immune responses of grouper Epinephelus coioides
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Curcuma zedoaria and Zingiber zerumbet on non-specific immune responses of grouper (Epinephelus coioides). Fish were fed an experimental diet containing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 g/kg of C. zedoaria and Z. zerumbet mixed diets twice daily for two weeks. Non-specific immune parameters such as respiratory burst activity, reactive oxygen species, phago...
متن کاملMHC IIB Genetic Diversity and its Association With Humoral Immune Responses in Commercial Turkey
Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the best characterized genetic regions controlling immune responses against vaccines. Identifying the association between MHC haplotypes and improved immune responses would be useful in genetic breeding strategies in animals. OBJECTIVES: MHC class II B genetic diversity and its association with humoral immune responses against Newcast...
متن کاملResearch Article: Study on the effects of red pepper (Capsicum annuum) extract on immune responses and resistance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles against Yersinia ruckeri
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of red pepper (Capsicum annuum) extract on growth, blood, biochemical and non-specific immune parameters of 360 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles with average weight of 9.38±0.01 g. The fish were fed with a commercial diet containing 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1% of C. annuum extract in 12 tanks (300L) with three replicates (30 fish per tank...
متن کاملA Review of The Role of The Microbiome on Immune Responses and Its Association With Cystic Fibrosis
In recent years, the microbiome has been recognized as a key regulator of immune responses. Evidence suggests that changes in the microbiome can lead to chronic disease and even exacerbation of the disease. Impairment of innate immunity resulting from microbial incompatibility may worsen host susceptibility to infection and exacerbate chronic lung diseases. Specific microbes play a key role in ...
