Influence of Schistosoma mansoni infection on the reproductive capacity of albino mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports reduction on the reproductive capacity of female mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni, either in the acute phase or in the chronic one of the disease. This decrease in the reproductive capacity was highly significant (93.3% and 86.7%, for the acute and chronic phases, respectively).

Mast Cells Kinetics during Experimental Schistosomiasis mansoni in Mice
Increased number of mast cells at the site of infection is widely regarded as important host defense against parasites. The kinetics of mucosal mast cells and connective tissue mast cells responses were studied in the intestines of 68 female CFLP mice infected with 100 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. The number of mucosal mast cells and the connective tissue mast cells increased from week 3 and ...
متن کاملAntioxidant effects of gold nanoparticles on Schistosoma mansoni induced granuloma, in vitro
Objective(s): Schistosomiasis and hepatitis C virus [HCV] co-infection is common among the Egyptian population. Co-infected patients have higher rate of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of gold nanoparticles on granuloma in vitro. Materials and Methods: In the current study, granulocytes were isolated f...
متن کاملModulatory effects of Schistosoma mansoni infection on bone marrow granulopoietic and erythropoietic activity in mice.
Bone marrow (BM) cells from BALB/c mice infected with mixed-sex Schistosoma mansoni cercariae were assessed for their capacity to form in vitro colony forming units of erythroid (CFU-e) and granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-c) cells. At four weeks after infection, substantial BM commitment to granulopoiesis was noted by an increase in CFU-c, with no changes in CFU-e. Elevated marrow granulopoietic ac...

Experiments were carried out with Sw albino mice and it was concluded that the percutaneous route via abdominal skin was significatively more efficient than tail immersion method and subcutaneous infection; the subcutaneous injection was significatively more efficient than the percutaneous infection through the tail; this latter and the intraperitoneal injection, resulted in similar infections,...
متن کاملMorphological aspects of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms isolated from nourished and undernourished mice: a comparative analysis by confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Malnutrition hampers the course of schistosomiasis mansoni infection just as normal growth of adult worms. A comparative morphometric study on adult specimens (male and female) recovered from undernourished (fed with a low protein diet - regional basic diet) and nourished (rodent commercial laboratory food, NUVILAB) white mice was performed. Tomographic images and morphometric analysis of the o...
