Infection with Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) and expression of superoxide dismutase gene at mRNA level in hepatocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) plays an important role in detoxication of the organism. Its function is to protect the organism against the cytotoxic action of free radicals. The highest expression of superoxide dismutase was observed in the hepatocytes adjacent to the hydatid cyst. The expression of this gene in the hepatocytes of infected livers 5 cm apart from the infection site was slightly lower.

First detection of Echinococcus multilocularis in dogs in a highly endemic area of Poland.
The aim of the investigation was to estimate the epizootic situation concerning infection by the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863 in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris Linnaeus) from a Polish region where this parasite is highly prevalent in red foxes. Faecal samples (n = 148) were collected from rural dogs in Podkarpackie Province. Samples were examined through nested PCR (for E. m...
متن کاملEchinococcus granulosus (Taeniidae) and autochthonous echinococcosis in a North American horse.
We report the first documented case of autochthonous echinococcosis in a horse of North American origin. Three fully mature and viable unilocular hydatid cysts of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) were an incidental finding at necropsy in the liver of a 14-yr-old gelding thoroughbred that had been foaled in Virginia and raised in Maryland. Protoscolices were armed with 2 rows of 28-37 rost...
متن کاملGenetic diversity and genetic differentiation in Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) from domestic and sylvatic hosts on the mainland of Australia.
Enzyme electrophoresis was used to examine genetic variation within and between populations of Echinococcus granulosus from domestic and sylvatic hosts in western and eastern Australia. Substantial genetic diversity was found within all populations. There was no evidence, however, of genetic differentiation between populations from different hosts or geographic areas. When isolates were grouped...

Introduction:Liver has important roles in body metabolic regulation and for this reason hepatocytes are used worldwide.Investigations showed that isolation of hepatocytes causes activation of stress related genes.The aim of this study was to study the stress related expression of BEST-5 following hepatocytes isolation and culture. Method:The BEST-5 gene is cloned and analyzed for the first tim...
متن کاملRostellar hook morphology of Echinococcus granulosus (Batsch, 1786) from natural and experimental Australian hosts, and its implications for strain recognition.
An analysis of the rostellar hooks of Australian isolates of Echinococcus granulosus revealed that there was less variation in larval (metacestode) than adult characters and that metacestode characters could be measured directly from adult worms. A factor analysis indicated that two factors, one representing a contrast between number of hooks and their length, and the other representing blade l...
