The relationship between the infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Alzheimer’s disease (2021)
Thesis
Alawfi, B. (2021). The relationship between the infection of Toxoplasma gondii and Alzheimer’s disease. (Thesis). University of Salford

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.

An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue (2021)
Thesis
Soothill, H. An investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection and the expression of Arginase-1 and iNOS in human lung tissue. (Dissertation). University of Salford

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.

Investigation into the genetic variation of Toll-Like Receptor 9 in cattle using both Sanger and next-generation sequencing from FTA-Cards (2020)
Thesis
Alqurashi, A. Investigation into the genetic variation of Toll-Like Receptor 9 in cattle using both Sanger and next-generation sequencing from FTA-Cards. (Thesis). University of Salford

The susceptibility or resistance to infectious diseases depends on the host immune response. The genetic variation of immune-relevant genes such as Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) genes is associated with susceptibility or resistance to the pathogen. In thi...

Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations (2020)
Thesis
Alshammari, A. (2020). Investigation into Toxoplasma gondii infection in relation to expression of neurodegenerative disease markers in natural mice populations. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is a highly prevalent opportunistic protozoan parasite that has a remarkable capacity to infect humans and a range of warm-blooded animals. This research had two broad aims. Firstly, to investigating whether detection of T. gondii i...

Investigating the relationship between lung cancer and the infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (2020)
Thesis
Tarabulsi, M. Investigating the relationship between lung cancer and the infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular organism that has a worldwide distribution and is highly prevalent among animals and humans. Although usually asymptomatic, it can cause serious diseases in immunocompromised individuals such as pneumoni...

Use of molecular tools to investigate the prevalence and transmission routes of Toxoplasma in woodmice and humans (2007)
Thesis
Gerwash, O. Use of molecular tools to investigate the prevalence and transmission routes of Toxoplasma in woodmice and humans. (Thesis). University of Salford

Toxoplasma gondii is an important pathogen of humans and domestic livestock and is
a major cause of abortion. It is widely distributed amongst mammals and birds and the
epidemiology of human disease is complex due to the interactions between human... Read More about Use of molecular tools to investigate the prevalence and transmission routes of Toxoplasma in woodmice and humans.
