Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in wild rodents and marsupials from the Atlantic Forest, state of São Paulo, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2015
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects a large spectrum of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Small rodents and marsupials play an important role in the epidemiology of T. gondii because they are sources of infection for domestic and

Frequency of antibodies against Sarcocystis neurona and Neospora caninum in domestic cats in the state of Bahia, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014
Sarcocystis neurona is the major agent of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. It infects several mammalian species in the Americas, where the definitive hosts, marsupials of the genus Didelphis (D. virginiana and D. albiventris) are found.

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 ...

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Tests for Identifying Protozoan and Bacterial Pathogens in Infectious Diseases

Diagnostics, 2022
Diagnosing and treating many infectious diseases depends on correctly identifying the causative pathogen. Characterization of pathogen-specific nucleic acid sequences by PCR is the most sensitive and specific method available for this purpose, although ...

Harmonization of Protocols for Multi-Species Organoid Platforms to Study the Intestinal Biology of Toxoplasma gondii and Other Protozoan Infections

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
The small intestinal epithelium is the primary route of infection for many protozoan parasites. Understanding the mechanisms of infection, however, has been hindered due to the lack of appropriate models that recapitulate the complexity of the intestinal

The protozoan commensal Tritrichomonas musculis is a natural adjuvant for mucosal IgA

bioRxiv, 2022
Immunoglobulin(Ig) A antibodies are the most abundant antibodies supporting mucosal immune homeostasis and host-microbiota interactions. Driven by gut commensal microbes, IgA-secreting plasma cells (PC) differentiate through T cell-dependent (Td) or T ...
