Probiotics for the Control of Parasites: An Overview

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, 2011
Probiotics are defined as live organisms, which confer benefits to the host. Their efficiency was demonstrated for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory infections, and allergic symptoms, but their use is mostly limited to bacterial ...

Primary hepatic haemangiosarcoma in a pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract An 8‐year‐old, entire, female rabbit was presented in decompensated shock. Blood tests revealed a mild, highly regenerative anaemia (haemocrit: 24.6%; reticulocytes: 15.7%) and a significant elevation of alanine transaminase (183 IU/L). The radiographic examination showed widespread mineralisation of the entire abdominal cavity and a mass ...

Oral delivery of Eimeria acervulina transfected sequentially with two copies of the VP2 gene induces immunity against infectious bursal disease virus in chickens

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
Chicken coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. can occur on almost all poultry farms, causing huge economic losses to the industry. Genetically manipulated Eimeria parasites as a vaccine vector to deliver viral antigens have been reported. In our preliminary

High‐throughput microfluidic real‐time PCR as a promising tool in disease ecology

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This work highlights the diversity of disease ecology questions Htrt PCR could contribute to addressing in a given host–pathogen ecosystem. This tool could be used to answer a broad set of basic and applied questions in animal ecology, notably by providing a way to address issues involving communities of hosts and communities of pathogens.

Construction of a bicistronic vector for the co-expression of two genes in Caenorhabditis elegans using a newly identified IRES

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2012
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model animal for biological research. Currently, transgenic C. elegans strains are mainly generated by injecting DNA encoding a gene of interest, in combination with a reporter gene, into the gonad ...

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.
