2018, Preventive Veterinary MedicineCitation Excerpt :Molina et al. (2005) reported a difference in host-parasite relationships of F. gigantica infection between cattle and swamp buffaloes and may be linked to the observed varying levels of resistance and resilience to infection between these hosts. Furthermore, Genetic variations within the host between cattle and buffaloes may explain the variation in their susceptibility (Molina and Skerratt, 2005). Mehmood et al. (2017) added that the difference of fascioliasis prevalence between cattle and buffalo populations might be attributed to the difference in management practices and pattern of animal movements for grazing near the waterlogged area.
Expression profiles of genes involved in TLRs and NLRs signaling pathways of water buffaloes infected with Fasciola gigantica
2018, Molecular ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :After acclimatization for 2 weeks, each buffalo was orally treated with a single dose of triclabendazole (Change Zhou Jialing Medicine Industry Co., Ltd., China) at a dose rate of 50 mg/kilogram of body weight in order to ensure liver fluke-free status of the buffaloes used in this study. Following a withdrawal time of four weeks, metacercariae encysted on cellophane sheets were washed several times with sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and used immediately to infect 12 buffaloes (500 metacercariae/animal), as previously described (Molina and Skerratt, 2005; Phalee et al., 2015). Control buffaloes were mock-inoculated with 0.85% NaCl solution without metacercariae.
Serum levels of cytokines in water buffaloes experimentally infected with Fasciola gigantica
2017, Veterinary ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :Additionally, all buffaloes were treated with triclabendazole 5% w/v oral suspension in order to eliminate any potential liver fluke infection not detected by screening. Following four weeks of triclabendazole's withdrawal time, each buffalo was orally infected with 500 viable ME as described previously (Molina and Skerratt, 2005). Blood samples were collected from all buffaloes one week prior to infection (as a base-line control) and weekly thereafter for 13 weeks.
