setaria/inflammation

This study aimed to identify antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides derived from the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of germinated and heated (microwave and boiling) foxtail millet. The protein digest fraction containing low-molecular weight peptides (< 3 kDa) and the most hydrophobic

Lymphatic filariasis is a vectorborne parasitic disease that results in morbidities, disabilities and socio-economic loss each year globally. Inflammatory consequences associated with any form of filariasis have drawn special attention. However, the molecular insight behind the inflammation of host

An 18-month-old Arabian-English filly resident in southwest France was referred for evaluation of a conjunctival mass in the right eye (OD). A pink, solid, and mobile nodular formation, measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.8 cm was found under the superior nasal bulbar conjunctiva during an ophthalmic

Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) is the main drug used against lymphatic filariasis but it is only microfilaricidal. Hence there is an urgent need for adulticidal drug. Aspirin is known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which can inhibit prostaglandin H synthase and also induces apoptosis. Studies

The current study aimed to detect the complement binding proteins in the excretory-secretory (ES) products of adult filarial parasite Setaria equina (SeqES). Tests for complement activation pathways (CH₅₀ and APH₅₀ ) in normal human serum (NHS) after incubation with SeqES were

Setaria digitata is a nematode that resides in the peritoneal cavity of ruminants causing cerebrospinal nematodiasis disease affecting livestock and inflicting significant economic forfeitures in Asia. Further, this nematode can infect humans, causing abscesses, allergic reactions, enlarged lymph

The nematode Setaria equina usually reside in body cavities and do not cause clinical symptoms. From time to time, however, these parasites can be located in the scrotum and spermatic cord inflicting pain and edema in these body parts. The aim of the study was to describe the case of the nematode

Setaria digitata and S. marshalli larvae were observed in the cerebrospinal cavity of 2 paralyzed cattle in Taiwan. The 2 affected cattle showed quadriplegia and lumbar paralysis, respectively. At necropsy, which was performed 7 days after the 7-month-old cattle became quadriplegic, three and

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of diethylcarbamazine (DEC), siver nanoparticles (AgNPs), nitazoxanide (NTZ), and a combination of nitazoxanide with silver nanoparticle (NTZ+AgNPs) against the microfilariae of Setaria cervi in experimentally infected albino rats. The NTZ+AgNPs

A novel microfilarial sheath protein (MfP) of the human filarial parasite Wuchereria bancrofti and its proinflammatory activity on host macrophages were identified recently. MfP is a homolog of the nematode bestrophin-9 superfamily that acts as a ligand of macrophage Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to
