Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2015., 2015 Trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas Disease, shed extracellular vesicles (EVs) enriched with glycoproteins of the gp85/trans‐sialidase (TS) superfamily and other α‐galactosyl (α‐Gal)‐containing glycoconjugates, such as mucins. Here, purified vesicles from T.

The synthetic peroxide OZ78 is effective against Echinostoma caproni and Fasciola hepatica [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2006 The trematocidal properties of a synthetic peroxide, 1,2,4-trioxolane (OZ78) were determined both in vivo and in vitro.Two weeks post-infection Echinostoma caproni-infected mice were administered single oral doses of 400-1000 mg/kg OZ78. Fasciola hepatica-infected rats were treated orally with 50-400 mg/kg OZ78 3 and 8-9 weeks post-infection.

Characterization of the Complete Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Sequences of Paramphistomum cervi
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Sequences of the complete nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene from five individual Paramphistomum cervi were determined for the first time. The five complete rDNA sequences, which included the 18S rDNA, the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), the 5.8S rDNA, the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), the 28S rDNA, and the intergenic spacer (IGS) regions,

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Parasite species frequently co‐occur more or less than expected by chance. These nonrandom co‐occurrence patterns can be driven by pre‐ or postinfection priority effects: parasites are more or less likely to attempt infection in a host already infected by another parasite species or may have higher or lower establishment and survival in hosts ...

Helminth Parasites Alter Protection against Plasmodium Infection
BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 More than one‐third of the world’s population is infected with one or more helminthic parasites. Helminth infections are prevalent throughout tropical and subtropical regions where malaria pathogens are transmitted. Malaria is the most widespread and deadliest parasitic disease.

Harnessing the Helminth Secretome for Therapeutic Immunomodulators
BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Helminths are the largest and most complex pathogens to invade and live within the human body. Since they are not able to outpace the immune system by rapid antigen variation or faster cell division or retreat into protective niches not accessible to immune effector mechanisms, their long‐term survival depends on influencing and regulating the immune ...

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2014., 2014 Background Protein secretion is a fundamental process in all living cells. Gluconeogenic enzymes are secreted when Saccharomyces cerevisiae are grown in media containing low glucose. However, when cells are transferred to media containing high glucose, they are internalized.

Cellular immune responses in Echinostoma caproni experimentally infected mice
Parasitology Research, 2011 The Echinostoma caproni-mice system is extensively used as an experimental model for the study of the factors involved in the establishment of chronic intestinal helminth infections. Although several parameters of the immunobiology of the host-parasite system have been studied in detail, the current knowledge of the cellular responses in these ...
