Fuentes-Castro, Beatriz Eugenia; Reyes-García, Juan Gerardo; Valenzuela-Vargas, María Teresa; Martínez-Gómez, Federico.

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (11), 2017

BACKGROUND Dialyzable leukocyte extracts (DLEs) contain molecules smaller than 10 kDa with biological activity in receptor organisms. Primarily, they participate in the regulation of the Th1 immune response, which is essential for the control of several intracellular infections, such as toxoplasmosis. Th...

Rev. bras. parasitol. vet; 25 (3), 2016

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate apoptosis and parasite load in the liver and spleen of dogs with visceral leishmaniosis (VL), using immunohistochemistry. Liver and spleen samples from 71 dogs with VL were used. The parasite load in the spleen and liver showed significant difference between...
