The usefulness of Toxoplasma gondii MIC1-MAG1-SAG1 chimeric antigen in the serodiagnosis of ovine toxoplasmosis
PublicationToxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, which infects humans and most warm-blooded animals throughout the world. Although human toxoplasmosis in healthy adults is usually asymptomatic, a serious disease can occur in the case of congenital infection and immunocompromised individuals. Among food animals, sheep, along with goats and pigs, possess the highest incidence of T. gondii cysts in meat,...

The optimal mixture of Toxoplasma gondii recombinant antigens (GRA1, P22, ROP1) for diagnosis of ovine toxoplasmosis
PublicationToxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is the major parasitic disease affecting sheep. Infection not only results in significant reproductive losses in these animals, but has public health implications since consumption of infected meat can facilitate zoonotic transmission. Although several serological tests are currently used for diagnosis of ovine toxoplasmosis, production of reliable reagents is a constraint and therefore...

Modulation of immune response to Toxoplasma gondii in sheep by immunization with a DNA vaccine encoding ROP1 antigen as a fusion protein with ovine CD154
PublicationNiniejszy artykuł prezentuje porównanie skuteczności działania w immunizacji owiec dwóch antytoksoplazmozowych szczepionek DNA: kodującej białko ROP1 Toxoplasma gondii oraz kodującej w/w antygen i owczą cząsteczkę CD154 lokalizowaną na powierzchni aktywowanych komórek T. Otrzymane wyniki badań pokazały, iż domięśniowe podanie szczepionki DNA zawierającej gen kodujący ROP1 i CD154 znacząco wzmacnia odpowiedź immunologiczną szczepionych...

The immune responses of sheep after DNA immunization with Toxoplasma gondii MAG1 antigen - with and without co-expression of ovine interleukin 6
PublicationW niniejszej pracy porównano odpowiedź immunologiczną owiec, którym podano domięśniowo plazmid DNA zawierający gen kodujący białko macierzy cyst tkankowych (MAG1) Toxoplasma gondii - pojedynczo bądź z DNA plazmidu kodującego owczą interleukinę 6 (IL-6). Dzięki wykorzystaniu plazmidu zawierającego gen mag1 odnotowano podwyższony poziom przeciwciał IgG1 oraz IgG2 w surowicach szczepionych zwierząt.

Immunological response of sheep to injections of plasmids encoding Toxoplasma gondii SAG1 and ROP1 genes
PublicationInfection with the intracellular protozoan parasite Toxo¬plasma gondii (T. gondii) causes health problems to both humans and livestock and has a large economic impact worldwide. The immune response in sheep following infection with T. gondii was evaluated using six different combinations of plasmid DNA, recombinant antigen and adjuvant. Sheep were generally vaccinated twice by intramuscular injection with plasmid DNA containing...

First report of seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep in Pomerania, northern Poland
PublicationIntroduction and objective. Toxoplasmosis is parasitic disease which has economic relevance for both veterinary and human medicine. In sheep, toxoplasmosis is a major cause of abortion and can thus cause reproductive problems. The current study aimed to determine the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibodies in sheep from 13 districts of northern Poland and thereby obtain actual data about T. gondii seroprevalence in...
