[ 1 ] - Protective Role of Antigens from Peritoneal Exudates of Infected Mice against Toxoplasmosis

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects all mammalian cells. Several antigens such as excreted/secreted antigens have been identified as a potential vaccine candidate. Objective: To determine how excreted/secreted antigens from peritoneal exudates of infected mice (mESA) stimulate cell-mediated immune responses and induce protective immunity against toxo...

[ 3 ] - شیوع تک یاخته های روده ای در گراز ها (Sus scrofa) در استان مازندران، شمال ایران، 93-91

Background and purpose: Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are potential reservoirs for a lot of zoonotic diseases, so it is possible to transmit these infections to wild and domestic animals and also humans. This research aimed to survey the protozoan prevalence of Sus scrofa in Mazandaran Province, North of Iran. Materials and methods: In a descriptive cross-sectional study a total of 21 wild boars was...

[ 4 ] - بررسی انگل های روده ای در موش های آزمایشگاهی نژاد SwissWebster

Background and purpose: Nowadays the laboratory mice are frequently used in basic science research. However, these animals may be infected with some pathogens as parasites. The study of parasites infecting laboratory mice is important on account of two reasons: 1) zoonotic agents and 2) interference with the results of some studies such as immunology and pharmacology. Thus, we carried out this ...
