Arginases in parasitic diseases

Trends in Parasitology, 2003
Abstract Parasites have elaborated a variety of strategies for invading hosts and escaping immune responses. This article proposes that a common mechanism whereby different parasites escape nitric oxide (NO) toxicity is the activation of arginase. This leads to a depletion of l-arginine (substrate of NO synthase, resulting in lower levels of cytotoxic

Fibronectin in Parasitic Diseases

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1987
Fibronectin, a major interstitial matrix protein with binding sites for a variety of molecules and with multiple biologic activities, may play an important role in certain parasitic diseases. Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi bind host fibronectin, which, in turn, facilitates their association with the cells they parasitize.

Vaccines for Parasitic Diseases

Current Drug Target -Infectious Disorders, 2001
Significant effort and progress has occurred over the last several years in the development of vaccines against three main tropical parasitic diseases (malaria, leishmaniases and schistosomiasis). However, an effective vaccine is not yet available.

Parasites and Parasitic Diseases of Reptiles

2020
Acknowledgments 597References 597Free-ranging reptiles are infected and infested with a great diversity of endo-and ectoparasites. Considering the number of papers published, relatively few reports link parasite burdens with morbidity or mortality events in wild reptiles.
