Title of Document: THE INFLUENCE OF PARASITE-DERIVED CHEMOKINES IN LEISHMANIASIS Sean Martin Conrad, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Directed By: Professor David M. Mosser Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics Transgenic chemokine-secreting parasites were generated and used to actively recruit immune cells into Leishmania lesions. It was hypothesized that the chemokine induced cell migra...

Parasitic diseases of the biliary tract occur frequently in tropical and subtropical areas and cause high morbidity and mortality. In general, neither the clinical presentation nor the general laboratory findings are sufficiently unique to raise the possibility of a parasitic biliary infestation in the mind of the surgeon. Once considered, however, the presence of a parasitic biliary infestatio...

In most aquatic ecosystems, fishes are hosts to parasites and, sometimes, these parasites can affect fish biology. Some of the most dramatic cases occur when fishes are intermediate hosts for larval parasites. For example, fishes in southern California estuaries are host to many parasites. The most common of these parasites, Euhaplorchis californiensis, infects the brain of the killifish Fundul...
