چکیده
Two sources of rats free of latent Pneumocystis carinii are described. First, rats from a virus-free colony failed to develop infection after 8 weeks of immune suppression unless they were housed with previously infected rats. Second, pregnant rats (non-virus free) received trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole from day 10 of gestation until the pups were weaned. Pups raised in filter-topped cages and immunosuppressed for 8 weeks were free of P. carinii infection.

Background and Objective: Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) has been historically the most prevalent opportunisticinfection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiencyvirus. Culture of the organism has not been faced with suitable success in artificial media, while various results have been reported for cell culture media. The aim of this study was proliferation of Pneumocystis carin...
متن کاملMouse model for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia that uses natural transmission to initiate infection.
Animal models for Pneumocystis carinii, for the most part, have been limited to immunosuppressed rats and ferrets, while a dependable mouse model has been more difficult to develop. A P. carinii mouse model has now been established with several strains of mice, including C3Heb/FeJ, C3HeN, BALB/c, DBA/2N, and BALB/c nu/nu (athymic). In lieu of using invasive methods for initiating P. carinii inf...

متن کاملPneumocystis carinii organisms obtained from rats, ferrets, and mice are antigenically different.
Pneumocystis carinii infections were developed in animals immunosuppressed by dexamethasone treatment either from activation of latent infection (ferret) or by transtracheal inoculation with P. carinii-infected lung tissue from the homologous species (rat or mouse). Convalescent-phase antisera were obtained by stopping dexamethasone treatment after 2 to 4 weeks and allowing animals 5 to 8 weeks...

Background & Aims: Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunist extracellular microorganism. The body can defend itself against it in natural conditions. But it can cause an infection in immunodificient conditions such as HIV, Hodgkins and other immunosuppressed diseases. The aim of this study was to apply a comparison of different staining methods such as Methenamine silver, Giemsa, Gram - Weigert, ...
