Mechanisms of IFN-gamma-mediated Resistance against Development of Toxoplasmic Encephalitis
… results in the development of life-threatening toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE). IFN-gamma-dependent, cell mediated immune responses play an essential role in preventing the reactivation of chronic infection of T. gondii in the brain. In my dissertation study, we examined the mechanisms of …

Increased Severity of Murine Infection with Toxioplasma Gondii Following Vitaman E and Selenium Supplementatoin
… a more susceptible model with the development of toxoplasmic encephalitis. In the third phase of the study, because the natural route of infection is the oral route, 25 C57BL/6J mice were infected orally with the ME49 strain of Toxoplasma. The results of all three experiments demonstrate that …

Development of a Canine Coccidiosis Model and the Anticoccidial Effects of a New Chemotherapeutic Agent
… also proved to be highly active against toxoplasmic encephalitis in an interferon-gamma knockout mouse model.

Characterizing Cystoisospora canis as a Model of Apicomplexan Tissue Cyst Formation and Reactivation
… importance, which can reactivate and cause toxoplasmic encephalitis. We hypothesized that C. canis is similar biologically and genetically enough to T. gondii to be a novel model for studying tissue cyst biology. We examined the pathogenesis of C. canis in beagles and quantified the oocysts …

Seroprevalence of anti-toxoplasma IgG antibody in HIV patients with neurological manifestations
… the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) is usually a presumptive diagnosis based on positive anti-toxoplasma Antibody (Ab), clinical manifestations and characteristic neuroradiological abnormalities. One hundred and nineteen patients were recruited in to this …

Development of approaches for investigating the distribution of toxoplasma gondii infection in natural populations of animals and humans
… of reactivation of chronic infection, leading to toxoplasmic encephalitis or pulmonary toxoplasmosis; which can complicate and delay their treatment or lead to death.

Effects of Methylmercury Exposure on the Immune and Neurological Responses of Mice to Toxoplasma gondii Infection
… patients, such as those inflicted with AIDS. Toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) is a common presenting condition in an AIDS infection. People become infected with T. gondii by ingesting tissue cysts in undercooked meats or by ingesting oocysts excreted by cats. Methylmercury (MeHg) is a …
