(American Society of Parasitology, 2002-12)Coccidia of the genus Eimeria arc present in roost pigs raised on dirt in the United States. They are generally considered nonpathogenic in weaned pigs. Oocysts of Eimeria spinoso Henry. 1931 were observed in tissue sections ... -
Positive Modulatory Interactions of NMDA Receptor GluN1/2B Ligand Binding Domains Attenuate Antagonists Activity
(Frontiers, 2017-05-09)N-methyl D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) play crucial role in normal brain function and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Functional tetra-heteromeric NMDAR contains two obligatory GluN1 subunits ... -
Potential mechanisms of attenuation for rifampicin-passaged strains of Flavobacterium psychrophilum
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2015-09-16)Background Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiologic agent of bacterial coldwater disease in salmonids. Earlier research showed that a rifampicin-passaged strain of F. psychrophilum (CSF 259-93B.17) caused no disease ... -
Potential of Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Ischemic Stroke
(Frontiers, 2018-02-06)Ischemic stroke is one of the major health problems worldwide. The only FDA approved anti-thrombotic drug for acute ischemic stroke is the tissue plasminogen activator. Several studies have been devoted to assessing the ... -
Pregnancy and lactation interfere with the response of autoimmunity to modulation of gut microbiota
(2019-07-16)Abstract Background Dysbiosis of gut microbiota exists in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). Lupus patients who ... -
Prevalence of agglutinating antibodies to Neospora caninum in raccoons, Procyon lotor
(American Society of Parasitology, 2001-10)Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite that causes neonatal neuromuscular disease in dogs and abortions in cattle. Dogs are the only proven definitive host. Little is known about the prevalence of antibodies to this ... -
