Ablastin: Control of Trypanosoma musculi infections in mice
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 ...

The effect of normal human serum on the mouse trypanosome Trypanosoma musculi in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Trypanosoma musculi, a common blood flagellate found in mice, is similar in morphology and life cycle to the rat trypanosome T. lewisi. Both species belong to the subgenus Herpetosoma, and as T.

Role of Gap Junctions and Hemichannels in Parasitic Infections
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.

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

Prevalence of Trypanosomiasis of Wild Rats (Rattus sp.) in Banjarnegara District and Potential Impact for Public Health [PDF]
Trypanosomiasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Trypanosoma sp., a protozoan parasite that has a flagellum. It has the potential to cause emerging diseases. Generally, Trypanosoma infection is caused by T. evansi which causes Surra disease, and T.

Trypanosoma congolense Infections: Induced Nitric Oxide Inhibits Parasite Growth In Vivo
Wild‐type (WT) C57BL/6 mice infected intraperitoneally with 5 × 106 Trypanosoma congolense survive for more than 30 days. C57BL/6 mice deficient in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS−/−) and infected with 103 or 5 × 106 parasites do not control the parasitemia and survive for only 14 ± 7 or 6.8 ± 0.1 days, respectively.

Cure of Trypanosoma musculi infection by heat-labile activity in immune plasma. [PDF]
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 ...

Selenium deficiency impairs host innate immune response and induces susceptibility to infection [PDF]
Background Susceptibility or resistance to infection with Listeria monocytogenes correlates with Selenium (Se) deficiency in response to infection. Results Se-deficient mouse models of listeriosis were used to study the innate immune response during the ...
