Parasitology Vaccine Development against Neospora

چکیده
ABsTRAcr. Neospora c'aninum is a recognized protozoan parasite of a wjde range of marnmalian hosts, and was reported for the first time in 1988. The isolation f its oocysts in deg's faeces in 1998 led to its establishment as a parasitic species undergoing typical coccidian life cycle, Infection with N, caninum causes paralysis and death in young liyestock and companion animals, and is associated with abor-

Recent advances in Neospora and neosporosis.
Neospora caninum has emerged as a major cause of abortion in cattle in many countries. This paper reviews recent advances in the life cycle and biology of Neospora with the emphasis on bovine neosporosis. The role of the recently discovered oocyst stage of N. caninum in the epidemiology of neosporosis is discussed. Progress made in serologic diagnosis of N. caninum infection is discussed. There...
متن کاملGeneration and Immunity Testing of a Recombinant Adenovirus Expressing NcSRS2-NcGRA7 Fusion Protein of Bovine Neospora caninum
Neospora caninum is the etiologic agent of bovine neosporosis, which affects the reproductive performance of cattle worldwide. The transmembrane protein, NcSRS2, and dense-granule protein, NcGRA7, were identified as protective antigens based on their ability to induce significant protective immune responses in murine neosporosis models. In the current study, NcSRS2 and NcGRA7 genes were spliced...
متن کاملTowards a preventive strategy for neosporosis: challenges and future perspectives for vaccine development against infection with Neospora caninum
Neosporosis is caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Neospora caninum. This major disease-causing pathogen is responsible for inducing abortion in cattle, and these adverse events occur sporadically all over the world, including Japan. Currently, there are no vaccines on the market against infection with N. caninum. Because live and attenuated vaccines against N. caninum have had safet...
متن کاملImmunization with native surface protein NcSRS2 induces a Th2 immune response and reduces congenital Neospora caninum transmission in mice.
NcSRS2, a tachyzoite surface protein of Neospora caninum, is an immunodominant protein with respect to induction of antibody production and has a role in attachment and invasion of host cells. Native NcSRS2 was isolated from whole tachyzoite lysate antigen by affinity chromatography using NcSRS2 specific monoclonal antibody and used to immunize BALB/c mice in a congenital transmission study. Nc...
متن کاملProtective efficacy of vaccination with Neospora caninum multiple recombinant antigens against experimental Neospora caninum infection.
Protective efficacy of vaccination with Neospora caninum multiple recombinant antigens against N. caninum infection was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Two major immunodominant surface antigens (NcSAG1 and NcSRS2) and two dense granule proteins (NcDG1 and NcDG2) of N. caninum tachyzoites were expressed in E. coli, respectively. An in vitro neutralization assay using polyclonal antisera raised a...
