Mesenteric lymph nodes infection with Linguatula serrata nymphs in cattle

871 mesenteric lymph nodes taken from 110 native cattle from Urmia slaughter-house with differentages were examined for Linguatula serrata infection. The lymph nodes were studied based on their colourand consistency. 44% of the cattle were found positive for L. serrata infection. The number of parasitesisolated from each infected lymph node varied from 1 to 69 with a mean of 5.48. There were no...

Mesenteric lymph node cavitation in coeliac disease.

A patient with coeliac disease and mesenteric lymph node cavitation is reported. This is a rare occurrence and has received very little attention in the English literature.

Detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in the mesenteric lymph nodes of goats by PCR and culture

The efficacy of bacterial cultures and IS900-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was compared for the detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from the mesenteric lymph nodes of goats. Samples were collected from 75 goats slaughtered in Ilam, in southwest of Iran. Tissue homogenates were inoculated onto four media. The genomic DNA was extracted directly from mesenteri...

Contribution of Mesenteric Lymph Nodes and GALT to the Intestinal Foxp3+ Regulatory T-Cell Compartment

This study showed that the absence of CCR7 or mesenteric lymph nodes/gut-associated lymphoid tissue did not appreciably impact total intestinal Foxp3+ regulatory T cell representation in the steady-state. However, mesenteric lymph nodes/GALT are required for normal peripherally induced Foxp3+ regulatory T cell differentiation in the small intestine, but not in the large intestine. BACKGROUND ...
