Assessing the impact of preventative measures to limit the spread of Toxoplasma gondii in wild carnivores of Madagascar. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Novel multihost pathogens can threaten endangered wildlife species, as well as humans and domestic animals. The zoonotic protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted by members of Felidae and can infect a large number of animal species, including humans.

Fatal disseminated toxoplasmosis in a feline immunodeficiency virus-positive cat receiving oclacitinib for feline atopic skin syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Dermatol, 2022
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous protozoan, for which felids are the definitive host. Immunocompromised individuals are susceptible to recrudescent toxoplasmosis. This case describes a 6‐year‐old, feline immunodeficiency virus‐positive domestic short hair cat with feline atopic skin syndrome, that developed fatal toxoplasmosis after treatment with ...

Cell culture‐derived extracellular vesicles: Considerations for reporting cell culturing parameters

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Cell culture‐conditioned medium (CCM) is a valuable source of extracellular vesicles (EVs) for basic scientific, therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Cell culturing parameters affect the biochemical composition, release and possibly the function of CCM‐derived EVs (CCM‐EV).

Guidelines for the purification and characterization of extracellular vesicles of parasites

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible for several millions of deaths. Research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased in recent years and demonstrated that EVs shed by pathogenic parasites ...

Characterisation of extracellular vesicles isolated from hydatid cyst fluid and evaluation of immunomodulatory effects on human monocytes

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 17, Page 2614-2625, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Hydatidosis is a disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, which involves several organs of intermediate hosts. Evidence suggests a communication between hydatid cyst (HC) and hosts via extracellular vesicles. However, a little is known about the communication between EVs derived from HC fluid (HCF) and host cells.

Extracellular Vesicles in Trypanosoma cruzi Infection: Immunomodulatory Effects and Future Perspectives as Potential Control Tools against Chagas Disease

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoa parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease and a major public health problem affecting more than 6 million people worldwide. Many challenges remain in the quest to control Chagas disease: the diagnosis presents several limitations and the two available treatments cause several side effects ...

New Biomarker in Chagas Disease: Extracellular Vesicles Isolated from Peripheral Blood in Chronic Chagas Disease Patients Modulate the Human Immune Response

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), is a major public health problem. It was initially restricted to Latin America, but it is now expanding globally. Host and pathogen interactions are crucial in the establishment of disease, and since 1970, it has been known that ...

Long‐Term In Vitro Passaging Had a Negligible Effect on Extracellular Vesicles Released by Leishmania amazonensis and Induced Protective Immune Response in BALB/c Mice

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Depending on Leishmania species and the presence/absence of virulence factors, Leishmania extracellular vesicles (EVs) can differently stimulate host immune cells. This work is aimed at characterizing and evaluating the protective role of EVs released by Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes under different maintenance conditions.
