Investigation of Immune Response to Sarcocystis neurona Infection in Horses with Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
… United States. The primary etiologic agent is Sarcocystis neurona (S. neurona). Currently, there is limited knowledge regarding the protective or pathologic immune response to infection to the intracellular protozoa S. neurona. The objective of these studies was to determine the effects of S. …

Prevalence Of Igg Antibodies To Encephalitozoon Cuniculi, Toxoplasma Gondii, And Sarcocystis Neurona In Domestic Cats
Encephalitozoon cuniculi, Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis neurona are intracellular parasites that infect a wide range of mammalian host species including domestic cats. The prevalence of antibodies to these parasites in cats was examined using an indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay. E. …

Interpretation of the Detection of Antibodies to Sarcocystis neurona in the serum and CSF of young horses
Horses that are exposed to Sarcocystis neurona, a causative agent of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, produce antibodies that are detectable in serum by western blot (WB). A positive test is indicative of exposure to the organism. Positive tests in young horses can be complicated by the presence …

Experimental infection with Sarcocystis neurona alters the immune response: the effect on CD4+, CD8+, B-cell, monocyte and granulocyte populations in horses
… the immune deficiencies associated with S. neurona infection. We hypothesized that PMA/I stimulated suppression in EPM horses is due to decreased proliferation of monocytes, CD4+ and CD8+ cells. Our objectives were 1) to determine whether S. neurona infection causes an increase in apoptosis …

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Preliminary Investigation of Protozoan-Host interactions in the horse
… which is caused by the protozoan organism Sarcocystis neurona. The disease has a profound impact on the American Horse Industry. This impact includes prolonged and expensive treatment without a guaranteed return to a previous level of use for the individual horse. Poor respponse to and …

Improving the Knowledge of EPM
… in horses predominantly caused by the protozoa Sarcocystis neurona. Carried by the North American opossum, Didelphis virginiana, horses are exposed to S. neurona when eating or drinking food or water contaminated with opossum feces. While exposure to the protozoa is high, only around 1% of …

Can levamisole upregulate the equine cell mediated immune response in vitro?
… for development of EPM after infection with Sarcocystis neurona in mouse models. Levamisole has been proposed as an adjunctive therapy for EPM to upregulate the cell-mediated immune response based on positive results in other species, but there are very limited studies in equids. We …
