- Abstract:
- ... A case of cutaneous leishmaniasis was discovered in a 32-year old man with a persistent erythematous plaque. The patient resides in a high altitude (~2000 m above sea level) area that is not endemic for cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Dunai village of Dolpa, Nepal. The patient's lesion was initially misdiagnosed as lupus vulgaris. After response failure to initial treatment, additional testing by h ...

- Abstract:
- ... To gain insight into the population structure of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in wildlife in Serbia, multiplex nested PCR- RFLP was performed on T. gondii DNA positive samples of heart tissue of three wild canid species, including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), golden jackals (Canis aureus) and grey wolves (Canis lupus). Out of 110 samples (28 red foxes, 72 golden jackals, 10 wolves), 30 ( ...

- Abstract:
- ... Hookworms are blood-sucking nematodes that infect dogs, cats, and humans, causing iron-deficiency anemia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and skin inflammation. Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) is a modified technology based on allele-specific PCR, which is widely used in mutation detection and genotyping. However, no data about ARMS application in hookworm detection. This study aims to e ...

One hundred and forty wild boars were caught in 11 different locations in Kamishima (n = 36) and Shimoshima (n = 104) in the Amakusa Islands, Japan between January 2016 and April 2018. Lingual tissues were subjected to histological examinations, where he ...

- Abstract:
- ... B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is known as a cytokine responsible for survival and activation of B cells. However, involvement of the molecule in IgG antibody production during infection remains elusive. In this study, dependency of antibody production in Leishmania infection on BAFF was examined by using BAFF-knockout (BAFF-KO) mice. When BAFF-KO mice were infected with L. major, there was no si ...

- Abstract:
- ... The identification of new therapeutics to treat leishmaniasis is desirable, since available drugs are toxic and present high cost and/or poor availability. Therefore, the discovery of safer, more effective and selective pharmaceutical options is of utmost importance. Efforts towards the development of new candidates based on molecule analogs with known biological functions have been an interesting ...

Despite the increasing popularity of seafood in Australia and various reports of infection with transmissible parasites in Australian edible aquatic animals such as fish, the number of reported cases of human infections in the country is low. This raised the question that Australian medical doctors may not be fully aware of the presence of these parasites in Australia, which in turn can lead to mi ...

We examined these roles in the immune responses against Plasmodium chabaudi infection using the Il-27ra−/− mice. While IL-27 was expressed at high levels during the early phase of the infection, enhanced CD4+ T cell function and reduction in parasitemia were observed mainly during t ...

B (Trematoda: Brachylaimidae), have been found from Euhadra brandtii sapporo in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. In this study, a large-scale snail survey covering a wide area of Japan was conducted to confirm the ...

Helminth immunomodulation in the host has been shown to have therapeutic implications in IBD. In the present study, we investigated whether Metagonimus miyatai infection could ameliorate inflammatory diseases. Mice were infected with M. ...
