Innate resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in rat is dependent on NOS2 (2021)
Journal Article

Leishmania infection causes diverse clinical manifestations in humans. The disease outcome is complicated by the combination of many host and parasite factors. Inbred mouse strains vary in resistance to Leishmania major but are highly susceptible to... Read More about Innate resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in rat is dependent on NOS2.

High resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) knockout rats (2021)
Journal Article

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important immune molecule which acts against extra- and intracellular pathogens in most hosts. However, after knockout of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS-/-) in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, these iNOS-/- rats were found to...

The relationship between the infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Alzheimer’s disease (2021)
Thesis

Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite that commonly causes infections in a variety of warm-blooded animals including humans. This parasite causes a disease referred to as toxoplasmosis. T. gondii infections are known to have a significant impact o... Read More about The relationship between the infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Alzheimer’s disease.

Identification of an orally active carbazole aminoalcohol derivative with broad-spectrum anti-animal trypanosomiasis activity (2021)
Journal Article

Animal trypanosomiasis, caused by the members of subgenus Trypanozoon (Trypanosoma brucei brucei, T. evansi and T. equiperdum), has reduced animal productivity leading to significant negative economic impacts in endemic regions. Due to limited drug d... Read More about Identification of an orally active carbazole aminoalcohol derivative with broad-spectrum anti-animal trypanosomiasis activity.

An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue (2021)
Thesis

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of the immune modulating proteins Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung biopsy samples. Previously, a 100% toxoplasmosis infection rate was found in 7... Read More about An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue.

Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii (2021)
Journal Article

Toxoplasma gondii can infect almost all warm-blooded vertebrates with pathogensis
being largely influenced by the host immune status. As important epidemiological
hosts, rodents are globally distributed and are also commonly found infected with
ha... Read More about Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii.
