Background: DNA‐based vaccination rapidly induces strong cellular and humoral immune responses, which may be enhanced by inclusion of lysosomal‐associated membrane protein‐1 (LAMP). Objectives: This proof‐of‐concept study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a Der f 2/Zen 1‐LAMP‐based DNA vaccine immunotherapy in client‐owned dogs with nonseasonal AD ...

Genetic variability and discrimination of low doses of Toxocara spp. from public areas soil inferred by loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay as a field-friendly molecular tool [PDF]
Aim: One of the main diagnostic problems of conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is indiscrimination of low parasitic loads in soil samples. The aim of this study is to determine the genetic diversity and identification of Toxocara spp.

Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

Toxocara canis and human health [PDF]
Soil sampling shows widespread contamination of the environment, particularly parks and playgrounds, with the eggs of Toxocara canis, the dog roundworm.1,2 Human toxocariasis occurs after ingestion of infective eggs of T canis and migration of larvas, particularly to liver, lungs, muscle, and brain, It accounts for considerable preventable childhood ...

Immunochemical studies of Toxocara canis proteases
Proteases of nematodes play a crucial role in larval molting and, in addition to their active role in egg hatching, proteases are also considered a crucial factor in tissue invasion and connective tissue remodeling. In Toxocara canis, proteases play important roles throughout the complex life cycle.

Advances in the Gut‐Lung Axis and Bronchial Asthma: From Mechanisms to Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Background Bronchial asthma (hereafter referred to as asthma) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and reversible airflow limitation. Recent advancements in the “gut‐lung” axis concept have elucidated the intricate immunometabolic crosstalk between the gastrointestinal tract
