Pathogenesis of oral FIV infection
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is the feline analogue of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and features many hallmarks of HIV infection and pathogenesis, including the development of concurrent oral lesions. While HIV is typically transmitted via parenteral transmucosal contact, recent studies prove that oral transmission can occur, and that saliva from infected individuals contains signi...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Introduction: Pregnancy and health is the process in which the egg is fertilized and being able to survive. When pregnancy occurs under some conditions and the fetus is being at risk, it will lead to abortion that occurs involuntarily and spontaneously. Abortions that occur more than two or three times are called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Various etiological factors involved in RPL, inclu...
متن کاملCellular mechanisms of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-induced neuropathogenesis.
The high incidence of neurologic dysfunction from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has heightened interest in neuropathogenesis of other lentiviruses, including that associated with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Both HIV and FIV efficiently enter the central nervous system and cause primary neurological disease that is not attributable to opportunistic infections or systemic ...
متن کاملCortical neuronal cytoskeletal changes associated with FIV infection.
HIV-1 infection is often complicated by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Degenerative neuronal changes as well as neuronal loss have been documented in individuals with AIDS. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection of cats provides a model for both the immune and the central nervous system manifestations of HIV infection of humans. In this study we have examined neurons in the fr...
متن کاملMolecular Defense Mechanisms during Urinary Tract Infection
The urinary tract is a common site of infection. The complete mechanisms of urinary tract infection (UTI) are still unknown. In general, the strategies of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli are adherence, motility, iron acquisition, toxin, and evasion of host immunity. Host immune responses play a significant part in defense of UTI. Various antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) including defensins, cat...
