Bovine bacterial abortion caused by Escherichia coli infection

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 3‐year‐old, 500 kg Holstein cow aborted at 7 months of gestation. On histological evaluation of the fetal lungs, abundant neutrophils infiltrated the alveolar spaces, bronchi and bronchioles with intralesional Gram‐negative bacteria, immunolabelled with Escherichia coli immunohistochemistry.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Eosinophilic Meningitis in Two Cows.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1993
A neurological disorder was noted in 5 cows on a farm. Histopathological examination in 2 of these 5 animals revealed an infiltration of eosinophils with some macrophages in the meninges and around arterioles of the cerebral cortex. The endothelial cells of the reactive blood vessels were swollen.

Role of human RNase 7 in neuronal and glial cell models: moving towards an unexpected new functional link

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4660-4679, August 2026.
Human RNase 7 is known to exert antimicrobial activity in epithelial tissues. Here, using SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, respectively, we found that RNase 7 enhances immune responses to LPS stimulation by reducing the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and ROS.

Specificity of immunoblotting analyses in eosinophilic meningitis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Gnathostoma spinigerum are the two most common causative parasites of eosinophilic meningitis (EOM). Serological tests are helpful tools for confirming the identity of the pathogen.
