Spontaneous and experimental toxoplasmosis have been reported sporadically as the cause of death in nonhuman primates. These reports indicate that New World monkeys and marmosets (cebidae and hapalidae), are more susceptible to infection by Toxoplasma gondii, or more often develop disease in response to this infection than monkeys and baboons of the Old World (cercopithecidae). This difference ...

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most important diseases of the nervous central system, leading to severe symptoms and, many times, irreversible sequelae. This work demonstrated the main anatomopathological lesions caused by Toxoplasma gondii in brains from experimentally infected BALB/c mice. We analyzed 51 cases of mice that developed toxoplasmosis after experimental infection by intraperitoneal i...

Latent toxoplasmosis has been previously found to cause behavioural and personality changes in humans, which are specific for each gender. Here we tested the stress hypothesis of these gender differences based on the assumption that latent toxoplasmosis causes long-term subliminal stress. In line with this hypothesis, the gender difference will appear specifically in situations with interperson...

1. Infected material from the brain and spinal cord of an infant suffering from a recently recognized form of granulomatous encephalomyelitis was inoculated into rabbits and mice and produced an experimental disease which was readily transmissible in series. 2. A parasite identical with that in the lesions of the human case was found in the lesions of the experimental animals. 3. The morphology...

Toxoplasma gondii pathogen is a threat to human health that results in economic burden. Unfortunately, there are very few high-efficiency and low-toxicity drugs for toxoplasmosis in the clinic. (+)-Usnic acid derived from lichen species has been reported to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-parasitology, and even anti-cancer activities. In associated with the published article "Effect...

The aim of this study to evaluate the expression Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), TGF- ß, and IL-10 in placental tissue aborted women correlation with Toxoplasma.gondii (T. gondii) these cytokines each other toxoplasmosis, during an abortion. samples have been processed used for immunohistochemistry PDL-1, IL-10, TGF-β. There was increase TGF-β, infected T.gondii, results showed that residence p...

INTRODUCTION Approximately a third of the population worldwide is chronically infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Pyrimethamine-based regimens are recommended for the treatment of toxoplasmosis. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the safety profile of pyrimethamine-based treatment for the three main Toxoplasma manifestations: toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE), ocular toxoplasmosis, and congenital tox...

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection with public health importance. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence toxoplasmosis and its risk factors among pregnant women consulted at Bamenda Regional Hospital.
