Anti-schistosomal activity of colostral and mature camel milk on Schistosoma mansoni infected mice.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-schistosomal activity of colostral and mature camel milk on Schistosoma mansoni infected mice. Six weeks post infection, mean percentage of protection was detected through the hepatic portal vein. Glutathione-s-transferase (GST), alanine, aspartate transaminase (ALT and AST) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were detected in sera of treat...
متن کاملProteomic Analysis of the Schistosoma mansoni Miracidium
Despite extensive control efforts, schistosomiasis continues to be a major public health problem in developing nations in the tropics and sub-tropics. The miracidium, along with the cercaria, both of which are water-borne and free-living, are the only two stages in the life-cycle of Schistosoma mansoni which are involved in host invasion. Miracidia penetrate intermediate host snails and develop...
متن کاملAnti-Schistosomal Activity of Cinnamic Acid Esters: Eugenyl and Thymyl Cinnamate Induce Cytoplasmic Vacuoles and Death in Schistosomula of Schistosoma mansoni.
Bornyl caffeate (1) was previously isolated by us from Valeriana (V.) wallichii rhizomes and identified as an anti-leishmanial substance. Here, we screened a small compound library of synthesized derivatives 1-30 for activity against schistosomula of Schistosoma (S.) mansoni. Compound 1 did not show any anti-schistosomal activity. However, strong phenotypic changes, including the formation of v...
متن کاملAntiphytoviral Activity of the Plectranthus tenuiflorus on Some Important Viruses
Crude extract of Plectranthus tenuiflorus crude extract was tested as an antiphytoviral agent against different plant viruses like Tobacco Necrosis Virus (TNV), Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV). When it was applied onto Phaseolus vulgaris, Datura stramonium, and Chenopodium amaranticolor as pre-inoculation spray (in vivo), it reduced the infectivity of above viru...
متن کاملSchistosoma mansoni cercaria and schistosomulum antigens in serodiagnosis of schistosomiasis.
Schistosoma mansoni cercaria and schistosomulum obtained in vitro were used in immunofluorescence (IF) tests and indirect hemagglutination (IHA) tests of 137 study sera, 44 from subjects infected with S. mansoni and 93 from healthy subjects residing outside areas endemic for the disease. The results of these tests were compared with those obtained by testing the same sera using conventional adu...
