Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Probiotics on Coccidia, H. Contortus and Markers of Infection in GoatsKwaku Barima Gyenai, Mulumebet Worku, Mehrdad Tajkarimi, Salam IbrahimImmunostimulants can induce nonspecific resistance against parasites. The use of probiotics to control development of animal gastrointestinal parasites could help reduce the risks of infestation. In this study, we investigated the effects of probiotics administration on gastrointestinal parasites coccidia, H. contortus and markers of infection. A cocktail of probiotics mix including Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2016 · 9,034 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe HCV Replicase InteractomeAntonio Mas, Pilar Clemente-Casares, Eugenio Ramírez, Rosario SabariegosViruses are obligate parasites and can only reproduce within host cells because they lack metabolic pathways to complete their replication cycles. Host factors required in viral replication are mainly those involved in lipid metabolism, cell cycle control and apoptosis, cell-to-cell interactions, immune system regulation, etc. Several inhibitors targeting viral polymerases have been designed. However, the rapid appearance of resistant mutants, … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 13,215 accessesView PDFCite
