Journal Article
Wang, T., Gao, J., Yi, S., Geng, G., Gao, X., Shen, J., …Lun, Z. (2014). Toxoplasma gondii infection in the peritoneal macrophages of rats treated with glucocorticoids. Parasitology Research, 113(1), 351-358. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-013-3661-3

It is well known that toxoplasmosis can be life threatening to immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS and organ transplantation patients. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in the clinic for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and organ t...

Clonorchiasis, caused by Clonorchis sinensis, is a key foodborne zoonosis, which is mainly found in China, Korea and Vietnam. Detection of this parasite from the second intermediate host, the freshwater fish is the common method for epidemiological s...

Lower expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and higher expression of arginase in rat alveolar macrophages are linked to their susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii infection. (2013)
Journal Article
ZJ, Z., J, Z., J, W., Z, L., T, W., SQ, Y., …ZR, L. (2013). Lower expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and higher expression of arginase in rat alveolar macrophages are linked to their susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii infection. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0063650

Rats are naturally resistant to Toxoplasma gondii infection, particularly the RH strain, while mice are not. Previous studies have demonstrated that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1 of rodent peritoneal macrophages are linked to...

Journal Article
Boyce, K., Hide, G., Craig, P., Reynolds, C., Hussain, M., Bodell, A., …Rogan, M. (2013). A molecular and ecological analysis of the trematode plagiorchis elegans in the wood mouse apodemus sylvaticus from a periaquatic ecosystem in the UK. Journal of Helminthology, 88(03), 310-320. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022149X13000199

The prevalence of the digenean Plagiorchis sp. was investigated in a natural wood mouse population (Apodemus sylvaticus) in a periaquatic environment. Classical identification was complemented with the use of molecular differentiation to determine...
