A Brucella Virulence Factor Targets Macrophages to Trigger B-cell Proliferation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013-07-12)
Brucella spp. and Trypanosoma cruzi are two intracellular pathogens that have no evolutionary common origins but share a similar lifestyle as they establish chronic infections for which they have to circumvent the host ...
A histopathological survey of the razor clam Ensis macha (Pharidae) along the Patagonian Argentina coast
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
This is the first study performed to determine the health status of the razor clam, Ensis macha, including six different populations along Argentina Patagonian coast and one of Chile. The parasites and pathologies affecting ...
Structural Characteristics and Oxygen Consumption of the Epipelic Biofilm in Three Lowland Streams Exposed to Different Land Uses
(Springer, 2007-08-08)
The structural features and O2 consumption of the epipelic biofilm in streams of the Pampean plain were explored. The study was conducted in three lowland streams subjected to different anthropic disturbances. Three sampling ...
Resveratrol inhibits Trypanosoma cruzi arginine kinase and exerts a trypanocidal activity
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06)
Arginine kinase catalyzes the reversible transphosphorylation between ADP and phosphoarginine which plays a critical role in the maintenance of cellular energy homeostasis. Arginine kinase from the protozoan parasite ...
Influence of regional factors on zooplankton structure in a saline lowland river: the Salado River (Buenos Aires province, Argentina)
(Wiley, 2008-08)
Knowledge of regional factors influencing zooplankton structure in a semiarid river must include both the main channel and any tributaries in order to identify spatial and temporal patterns along with the main factor that ...
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein repertoire of Babesia bovis and its significance for erythrocyte invasion
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins are abundant on the surface of pathogenic protozoans and might play an important role for parasite survival. In the present work, the relevance of GPI-anchored proteins for ...
In vitro activity ofN-benzenesulfonylbenzotriazole on Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote and trypomastigote forms
(Elsevier, 2012-03)
Chagas disease is still an important health problem in Central and South America. However, the only drugs currently available for specific treatment of this disease may induce toxic side effects in the host. The aim of ...
Trypanosomatid Pin1-type Peptidyl-Prolyl Isomerase is Cytosolic and Not Essential for Cell Proliferation
(Wiley, 2012-12-03)
Pin1-type peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) isomerise the peptide bond of specific phosphorylated (Ser/Thr)-Pro residues, regulating various cellular events. Previously, we reported a Pin1-type PPIase in ...
Detecção de Theileria equi por reação em cadeia da polimerase em amostras de sangue de equinos no Rio Grande do Sul
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilMedicina VeterináriaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Medicina VeterináriaCentro de Ciências Rurais, 2018-01-23)
Theileria equi is a protozoan of the class Piroplasmasida of the phylum Apicomplexa, which needs a vector tick for transmission of Piroplasmosis, which can be asymptomatic or present in a severe form, causing severe anemia, ...
Caracterização molecular de Sarcocystis spp. em amostras de carne moída, embutido colonial e filé mignon
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMCentro de Ciências Rurais, 2016-02-19)
The sarcocystosis is considered a disease important in farm animals. Usually the protozoan infection in bovine and swine is asymptomatic, but some animals may show signs such as fever, anorexia, prostration, pale mucous, ...
