Seroprevalence rates of antibodies againstLeishmania infantum and other protozoan and rickettsial parasites in dogs [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2013 Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum, which infects dogs and humans in many regions of Brazil. The present study involved an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to analyze L.

Effect of biannual azithromycin distribution on antibody responses to malaria, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens in Niger [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Abstract The MORDOR trial in Niger, Malawi, and Tanzania found that biannual mass distribution of azithromycin to children younger than 5 years led to a 13.5% reduction in all-cause mortality (NCT02048007). To help elucidate the mechanism for mortality reduction, we report IgG responses to 11 malaria, bacterial ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo-Kept Animals in Spain. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Use of Phage Antibodies to Distinguish Closely Related Species of Protozoan Parasites [PDF]
Disease Markers, 2000 Acanthamoeba are typically identified in the laboratory using culture and microscopic observation. In this paper we describe the isolation and specificity of antibody fragments that can be used for the identification of Acanthamoeba. A phage library expressing a large repertoire (approx.

IgG Antibody responses in mice coinfected with Toxocara canis and other helminths or protozoan parasites [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012 The immune response expressed by IgG antibodies in BALB/c mice experimentally infected with Toxocara canis, was studied with the aim of verifying the possible in vivo cross-reactivity between antigens of T. canis and other parasites (Ascaris suum, Taenia crassiceps, Schistosoma mansoni, Strongyloides venezuelensis and Toxoplasma gondii).

Surface antigenic change during differentiation of a parasitic protozoan, Leishmania mexicana: Identification by monoclonal antibodies. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982 The fusion of SP2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from mice immunized with Leishmania mexicana amazonensis promastigotes produced hybridoma clones. Indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay with live leishmanias showed that the monoclonal antibody 6H12 recognized only the antigens bound to the surface of L. mexicana amazonensis promastigotes. It also

Systemic and Cutaneous Mucus Antibody Responses of Channel Catfish Immunized against the Protozoan ParasiteIchthyophthirius multifiliis [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2003 ABSTRACTFish acquire protective immunity against the ciliated protozoan parasiteIchthyophthirius multifiliisfollowing sublethal infection or inoculation withI. multifiliisimmobilization antigens (i-antigens). In both cases, parasite-immobilizing antibodies have been identified in sera and mucosal secretions.
