ABSTRACT This report describes the first documented case of a two‐port laparoscopic ovariectomy (lapOVE) in a raccoon (Procyon lotor (Linnaeus, 1758)). A rescued, eight‐month‐old, 5.0 kg female raccoon, kept as a pet, was presented to the Veterinarium, clinic of Agricultural University of Georgia (Tbilisi, Georgia), for elective ovariectomy.

New Limonene-Hybrid Derivatives with Anti-T. cruzi Activity
The development of hybrid compounds containing limonene- and recognized anti-T. cruzi-heterocycle- frameworks is described. The six new compounds displayed broad antitrypanosomal activities having 5-nitrofuran and 5- nitroindazole derivatives, the best profiles.

Abstract The eukaryotic translation initiation is a biological process in which at least a dozen eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are involved. Specifically, eIF3, eIF1, eIF5, and eIF2 as a ternary complex (eIF2‐TC) bound to GTP and methionyl initiator tRNA (Met‐tRNAiMet).

Regulation and use of the extracellular matrix by Trypanosoma cruzi during early infection
Chagas disease, which was once thought to be confined to endemic regions of Latin America, has now gone global becoming a new worldwide challenge. For more than a century since its discovery, it has remained neglected with no effective drugs or vaccines.

Treatment with a New Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Agonist, Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Derivative, Increases Angiogenesis and Reduces Inflammatory Mediators in the Heart of Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Mice [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi infection induces an intense inflammatory response in diverse host tissues. The immune response and the microvascular abnormalities associated with infection are crucial aspects in the generation of heart damage in Chagas disease.

Myocardial toxicity in two dogs with natural exposure to ractopamine
Abstract Two dogs that lived in a farm setting were presented to the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital's Emergency Service exhibiting muscle tremors and ventricular arrhythmias following ingestion of ractopamine, a ß‐2 agonist feed‐additive used in beef cattle, pigs and turkeys intended for slaughter to increase muscle mass.

Repertoire, genealogy and genomic organization of cruzipain and homologous genes in Trypanosoma cruzi, T. cruzi-like and other trypanosome species. [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is a complex of genetically diverse isolates highly phylogenetically related to T. cruzi-like species, Trypanosoma cruzi marinkellei and Trypanosoma dionisii, all sharing morphology of blood and culture ...

The genetics and genomics of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi is a kinetoplastid parasite that causes Chagas disease. Trypanosomes are unusual organisms in many aspects of its genetics and molecular and cellular biology and considered a paradigm of the exception of the rule in the eukaryotic ...
