Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and associated risk factors in domestic pigs raised from Cuba
(Springer, 2021)
A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and associated risk factors in pigs in the largest pork-producing region in Cuba. Serum samples from 420 pigs, including 210 sows ...
A Partially Protective Vaccine for Fasciola hepatica Induced Degeneration of Adult Flukes Associated to a Severe Granulomatous Reaction in Sheep
(MDPI, 2021)
Fasciolosis is an important economic disease of livestock. There is a global interest in the development of protective vaccines since current anthelmintic therapy is no longer sustainable. A better knowledge of the ...
Fasciolosis: pathogenesis, host-parasite interactions, and implication in vaccine development
(Frontiers, 2023)
Fasciola hepatica has a worldwide distribution causing important economic losses in animal production industry. Human fasciolosis is considered an emerging zoonosis in areas of Andean America, Asia, and Africa. The control ...
Study of the migration of Fasciola hepatica juveniles across the intestinal barrier of the host by quantitative proteomics in an ex vivo model
(Public Library Of Science (PLOS), 2022)
Fasciola hepatica is a trematode parasite that infects animals and humans causing fasciolosis, a worldwide-distributed disease responsible for important economic losses and health problems. This disease is of growing public ...
Efficacy of a multivalent vaccine against Fasciola hepatica infection in sheep
(Springer, 2021)
In this work we report the protection found in a vaccination trial performed in sheep with two different vaccines composed each one by a cocktail of antigens (rCL1, rPrx, rHDM and rLAP) formulated in two different adjuvants ...
Potential Influence of Helminth Molecules on COVID-19 Pathology
(Elsevier, 2021)
In recent months, the parasitology research community has been tasked with investigation of the influence of parasite coinfection on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. Herein, we share our approach to analyze ...
Fasciola hepatica primoinfections and reinfections in sheep drive distinct Th1/Th2/Treg immune responses in liver and hepatic lymph node at early and late stages
(Springer, 2023)
The expression of proinflammatory (IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α) and regulatory (IL-10, TGF-β, IL-4) cytokines, as well as the
transcription factor FoxP3, was quantified in the liver and hepatic lymph node (HLN) of sheep primoinfected ...
Timing of Transcriptomic Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Responses of Sheep to Fasciola hepatica Infection Differs From Those of Cattle, Reflecting Different Disease Phenotypes
(Frontiers, 2021)
Infection with the zoonotic trematode Fasciola hepatica, common in many regions with a temperate climate, leads to delayed growth and loss of productivity in cattle, while infection in sheep can have more severe effects, ...
Characterization of dendritic cells and follicular dendritic cells in the hepatic lymph nodes and liver of sheep experimentally infected with Fasciola hepatica
(Springer, 2020)
Fasciola hepatica has been shown to have a high capacity for immunomodulation of the host response, making the development of protective vaccines extremely difficult. One of these immunomodulation mechanisms is the impairment ...
Identification of protective peptides of Fasciola hepatica-derived cathepsin L1 (FhCL1) in vaccinated sheep by a linear B-cell epitope mapping approach
(Springer, 2020)
Background: Fasciolosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases of livestock. The need for better control strategies
gave rise to the identification of various vaccine candidates. The recombinant form of a member ...
