Synthetic antimicrobial 9-mer peptides (designated as peptides A and B) designed on the basis of insect defensins and their effects on the growth of African trypanosomes were examined using two isolates of Trypanosoma congolense, IL1180 and IL3338, and two isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, I...

This paper reports the results of a genome-wide search for quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing immunological responses to infection with the gastro-intestinal nematode parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus in an F2 population created by crossing the resistant SWR and the susceptible CBA inbr...

Gene-knockout mice have been extensively used in the study of several malaria-induced pathologies. Some investigators believe that the deficient, infected mice mimic disease aspects produced in the absence of the target gene, but others believe that the deficient mice models mainly explain the ef...

Murine models have proved to be excellent tools in the support of studies of the human genetic bases of malaria resistance and have enabled the mapping of 12 resistance loci, eight of them controlling parasitic levels and four controlling cerebral malaria. Further studies using this method have i...

The host-protective immune response to infection with gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes involves a range of interacting processes that begin with recognition of the parasite's antigens and culminate in an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal mucosa. Precisely which immune effectors are responsib...

The TNF-alfa gene on mouse chromosome MMU17 is among the candidates for the trypanosomosis resistance QTG Tirl. Tit t has the largest effect of those loci so far detected which influence degree of resistance to murine trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosome congolense infection. We therefore studied...

A comparison of F2 and F6/7 inter-cross lines of mice, derived from CBA and SWR parental strains, has provided strong evidence for several previously undetected quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Heligmosomoides bakeri. Five QTL affecting average faecal egg counts and/or worm burdens...

Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to the gastrointestinal parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus was achieved on F6/F7 offspring (1076 mice) from resistant (SWR) and susceptible (CBA) mouse strains by selective genotyping (top and bottom 20% selected on total wo...

Since the publication of the mouse genome, attention has focused on the strains that were selected for sequencing. In this paper we report the results of experiments that characterized the response to infection with the murine gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus of eight new strai...

Tsetse fly-transmitted trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.) cause 'sleeping sickness' in man and have a serious impact on livestock-based agriculture in large areas of Africa. Multigene control of variation in susceptibility to trypanosomiasis is known to occur in mice, where the C57BI/6 (B6) strain i...
