Cover Illustration: The image illustrates the massive influx of effector cells around the larvae during a protective secondary infection
with N. brasiliensis. Eosinophils and macrophages (that are positive for F4/80 in the lung) are recruited and activated by the
cytokines made by ILC2s during a helminth infection. (Source: Parasite Immunology)

Dihydrotestosterone enhances growth and infectivity of Leishmania Mexicana
Summary
A strong sex‐associated susceptibility towards Leishmania has been reported in males, yet little is known on the effect of hormones in Leishmania physiopathogenicity. Due to the enhanced susceptibility of males to Leishmania mexicana infections, we were interested in analysing the effect exerted by the main androgen produced in males (DHT) on L. mexicana promastigotes. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the regulation exerted by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on L. mexicana replication, infectivity, survival and development of tissue lesions. Experiments included growth curves of L. mexicana promastigotes incu...

Humoral and T cell –mediated immune response against trichomoniasis
Summary
Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) infection leads to the synthesis of specific antibodies in the serum and local secretions. The profile of T. vaginalis‐specific antibodies and T cell–mediated immune responses may influence the outcome of infection, towards parasite elimination, persistence or pathological reactions. Studies have indicated that Th1‐, Th17‐ and Th22 cell‐related cytokines may be protective or pathogenic, whereas Th2‐ and Treg cell‐related cytokines can exert anti‐inflammatory effects during T. vaginalis infection. A number of T. vaginalis‐related components such as lipophosp...

Demodex canis targets TLRs to evade host immunity and induce canine demodicosis
Summary
Widespread incidence of Demodex mites throughout the mammalian class and occasional serious and fatal outcomes in dogs warrant an insight into the host‐parasite interface especially. Therefore, this study was aimed to unravel the interplay between innate immune response and canine demodicosis. The dogs diagnosed to have natural clinical demodicosis were allocated into two groups; dogs with localized demodicosis (LD) and with generalized demodicosis (GD). The expression of toll‐like receptors (TLRs) 2, 4 and 6 genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of these dogs was quantified by real‐time PCR. Significan...

Intestinal parasites: associations with intestinal and systemic inflammation
ConclusionIntestinal parasitic infection was not associated with systemic inflammation, but was associated with intestinal inflammation. Having multiple‐infections were associated with higher leptin concentrations.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Parasite Immunology)

Local immune response to larvae of Rhipicephalus microplus in Santa Gertrudis cattle Immune response against Rhipicephalus microplus
ConclusionOur data suggest that some of the cellular responses mounted at larval attachment site are not involved in tick protection. The mAbs specific for CD45 and CD45 RO directly, or a test for CD45 genotype might be developed as markers of tick susceptibility or resistance.This article is protected by copyright.

Preclinical efficacy and immunogenicity assessment to show that a chimeric Plasmodium falciparum UB05 ‐09 antigen could be a Malaria Vaccine Candidate
ConclusionThese data suggest that UB05‐09 is a malaria vaccine candidate that could be developed further and used in conjunction with AMA1 to create a potent malaria vaccine.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Parasite Immunology)
