Cure of Trypanosoma musculi infection by heat-labile activity in immune plasma. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1984 Passive transfer of plasma from a mouse cured of parasitemia to a Trypanosoma musculi-infected host rapidly eliminates parasitemia; this curative activity, presumably mediated by an immunoglobulin, is sensitive to heat treatment (56 degrees C, 30 min). In addition, pretreatment with immune plasma, even after heat treatment, prevents the development of ...

Differences in resistance to Trypanosoma musculi infection among strains of inbred mice. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1981 Inbred strains of mice were inoculated with Trypanosoma musculi, and the course of the ensuing parasitemia was followed. The mouse strains fell into three groups: those displaying high and moderate (fivefold less) parasitemia and C57BL/6 (B/6) mice which had exceptionally low infections.

Trypanosoma musculi infections in normocomplementemic, C5-deficient, and C3-depleted mice. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1977 The role of complement in host resistance to infection with Trypanosoma musculi was studied in normal, C5-deficient, and C3-depleted mice. Infections in normocomplementemic strains (CBA and B10.D2/n) were generally similar to those in strains genetically deficient in C5 (A and B10.D2/o). There were no differences in

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013 La prevalencia de infecciones por Toxoplasma gondii en el ser humano es de 5-90% según la zona geográfica; en Costa Rica por ejemplo, la seroprevalencia es de un 58%, por lo que es importante comprender algunos procesos inmunológicos, propios en estas ...

Shifting focus from resistance to disease tolerance: A review on hybrid house mice
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Our review shows evidence for hybrid vigor against in the house mouse hybrid zone. This vigor manifests in elevated resistance. We discuss that resistance is not necessarily a linked with fitness and argue that this research should switch its focus to tolerance.

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up-to-date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Ablastin: Control of Trypanosoma musculi infections in mice
Experimental Parasitology, 1975 Abstract Trypanosoma musculi infections in CBA mice consist of a phase of increasing parasitemia during which dividing forms of the parasite are present in the blood, followed by a period when only nondividing trypomastigotes are seen. A second crisis terminates the blood infection and leaves the host immune, but small numbers of trypanosomes ...

Role of Gap Junctions and Hemichannels in Parasitic Infections
BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 In vertebrates, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are proteins that form gap junction channels and/or hemichannels located at cell‐cell interfaces and cell surface, respectively. Similar channel types are formed by innexins in invertebrate cells.
