Detection of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts in environmental samples
PublicationToxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that has capacity to infect warm-blooded animals. Human toxoplasmosis is usually asymptomatic, whereas severe complications may occur in immunocompromised patients (e.g. AIDS) or in case of congenitalinfection. One of the sources of acquiring human toxoplasmosis is ingestion of T. gondii oocysts. It is known that newly infected cats can shed millions of oocysts into the environment,...

Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in meat - available techniques
PublicationToxoplasma gondii, which belongs to the phylum Apicomplexa, is an absolute intercellular parasite that infects a wide range of hosts, including warm-blooded animals and humans. An infection with this parasite causes toxoplasmosis, which in most cases remains latent. However, this disease is a major threat to immunocompromised people and pregnant women. In extreme cases, it can damage nervous system or case fatal abortion. Infected...

Immunogenic and protective activity of recombinant chimeric Toxoplasma gondii proteins
PublicationToxoplasmosis, one of the most common parasitic invasions worldwide, may pose a great threat for individuals with weakened immune system. The parasite also causes considerable economic losses due to infection of livestock. To date there is no efficient immunoprophylaxis for humans and animals, which would provide long-lasting protection against T. gondii invasion. Chimeric proteins, containing several selected fragments of parasite...

Use of MAG1 recombinant antigen for diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans
PublicationPraca opisuje klonowanie, oczyszczanie oraz zastosowanie w immunodiagnostyce toksoplazmozy antygenu rekombinantowego macierzy cyst tkankowych (MAG1) Toxoplasma gondii. Zastosowany system ekspresyjny pozwolił uzyskać dużą ilość rekombinantowego antygenu, który następnie wykorzystano w teście ELISA do wykrywania specyficzych przeciwciał anty-T. gondii klasy IgG w surowicach pacjentów chorych na toksoplazmozę. W przeprowadzonych badaniach...

Toxoplasma gondii: Chimeric Dr fimbriae as a recombinant vaccine against toxoplasmosis
PublicationW publikacji przedstawiono protekcyjne i immunogenne właściowści chimerycznych fimbrii typu Dr zawierających sekwencje epitopowe antygenów SAG1, MAG1 oraz GRA1 Toxoplasma gondii. Uzyskane wyniki porównano z właściwościami immunogennymi antygenowych białek rekombinantowych oraz poliwalentnego antygenu natywnego. Antygeny rekombinantowe indukują silną odpowiedź immunologiczną i w 89% zapobiegają formowaniu się cyst w mózgu myszy....

Toxoplasma gondii: an evaluation of diagnostic value of recombinant antigens in a murine model
PublicationPraca dotyczy oceny użyteczności sześciu rekombinantowych białek antygenowych Toxoplasma gondii (GRA1, GRA6, GRA7, p35, SAG1 i SAG2) w diagnozowaniu doświadczalnej toksoplazmozy u myszy. Przeprowadzone badania pozwoliły na określenie stopnia reaktywności zastosowanych antygenów z surowicami z wczesnej i przewlekłej toksoplazmozy. W przypadku ostrej fazy choroby obserwowano silną odpowiedź humoralną na antygeny GRA7, GRA6 i p35,...

Epidemiological study of Toxoplasma gondii infection among cattle in Northern Poland
PublicationToxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is a significant disease in livestock and humans. Because of medical and veterinary importance it is essential to study the prevalence of T. gondii infection among human and animals in various parts of the word. In this study, 4033 cattle from eight provinces of Northern Poland (belonging to 190 herds) were tested for IgG antibodies against T. gondii by an in-house ELISA technique based...

A novel chemiluminescent immunoassay for detection of Toxoplasma gondii IgG in human sera
PublicationThis study describes Toxoplasma gondii IgG chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) based on the use of a novel immunochemical reagents in the form of the conjugates of original acridinium ester (AE) labels attached to antibodies and SAG2-GRA1-ROP1L chimeric antigen and shows that this test is useful for diagnostic purposes.

Toxoplasma gondii Recombinant Antigens in the Serodiagnosis of Toxoplasmosis in Domestic and Farm Animals
PublicationToxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, and is a parasitic disease that occurs in all warm-blooded animals, including humans. Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases of animals and results in reproductive losses. Toxoplasmosis in humans is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat or consuming dairy products containing the parasite. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is currently...
