Effect of arsenical drugs on glutathione metabolism of Litomosoides carinii

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1983
Despite centuries of therapeutic use, the mechanism of action of arsenicals against various diseases remains unknown. Because of the known inhibition of sulfhydryl-containing enzymes by arsenicals, we investigated the possibility that the anti-filarial effects of arsenical drugs might be exerted specifically through impairment of parasite thiol ...

Litomosoides carinii infection: Pathophysiological changes in the infected albino rat

International Journal for Parasitology, 1988
Abstract Mukhopadhyay P. and Ghosh D. K. 1988. Litomosoides carinii infection: pathophysiological changes in the infected albino rat. International Journal for Parasitology 18 : 103–107. Infection of albino rats with Litomosoides carinii induced changes in several physiological and biochemical parameters of liver and spleen.

Transmission of Litomosoides carinii to Mice and Hamsters

Nature, 1946
Litomosoides carinii is a filariid parasite of the cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus. It has been used extensively in the United States to investigate the chemotherapy of filarial infections. R. W. Williams and H. W. Brown1 and J. A. Scott (private communication) have recently shown that infection was transmitted from one animal to another by means of the ...

Litomosoides sigmodontis cystatin acts as an immunomodulator during experimental filariasis

International Journal for Parasitology, 2002
During chronic filariasis, parasite-specific cellular responsiveness is profoundly down-regulated. Cystatins, a group of cysteine protease inhibitors, have been implicated in this suppressive activity. In an attempt to investigate the effects of cystatins in vivo, we isolated and expressed a 14 kDa protein of the rodent filaria Litomosoides sigmodontis

Embryogenesis in Litomosoides carinii from pyridoxine deficient cotton rats

Journal of Helminthology, 1993
AbstractPyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency was induced in cotton rats which were then infected with the filarial parasite Litomosoides carinii. Embryogenesis was assessed microscopically in worms taken from pyridoxine deficient cotton rats and from various categories of control animals.

Respiration and energy conservation in the filarial worm Litomosoides carinii

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1985
The average rate of endogenous respiration of intact Litomosoides carinii was 2.24 muatom O min-1 g-1 worm wet wt. No significant difference was observed in respiration capacities between male and female worms. Rates of oxygen uptake decreased progressively during disruption and fractionation of the parasite tissue and very few respiration capabilities
