Natural killer activity in mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi. [PDF]
Trypanosoma musculi infection affected natural killer (NK) activity in mice. In the spleen, an increase of two to three times normal was displayed on days 2 to 4 after inoculation of parasites, followed by rapid decline to a subnormal level of activity that persisted for more than 3 weeks and included the phase of rapid parasite elimination.

Further characterization of the curative antibodies in Trypanosoma musculi infection. [PDF]
The ability of immune plasma (IP) taken from different donor strains of mice to cure Trypanosoma musculi infection in various recipient mouse strains, when given during the plateau phase of infection, was examined. C57BL/6, B10.A/SgSn, B10.D2/oSn, B10.D2/nSn, DBA/2, and BALB/c strains could be cured of parasitemia (giving 0.4 to 0.8 ml of IP per mouse),

Shifting focus from resistance to disease tolerance: A review on hybrid house mice
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.

Histopathological and immunocytochemical studies of Trypanosoma musculi infection of mice. [PDF]
Mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi developed hyperplasia of the spleen, lymph nodes, and liver; in contrast, their thymuses displayed transient involution. All organs returned to normal in a month or less. There was modest anemia, lasting until the parasites were cleared from the bloodstream, followed by a rapid influx of erythrocytes into the ...

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.

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.

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.
