Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative immunohistochemical method for detecting Leishmania amastigotes in paraffin-embedded canine tissues.
Wagner Luiz Tafuri,Renato L. Santos,Rosa Maria Esteves Arantes,Ricardo Gonçalves,Maria Norma Melo,Marilene Suzan Marques Michalick,Washington Luiz Tafuri +6 more
TL;DR: A straightforward and inexpensive immunohistochemical approach for Leishmania detection in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded canine tissues and results indicate that this technique could be a useful tool for epidemiological, clinical, and histopathological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective immunity against challenge with Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi in beagle dogs vaccinated with recombinant A2 protein.
Ana Paula Fernandes,Miriam Maria Silva Costa,Eduardo A.F. Coelho,Marilene Suzan Marques Michalick,Eloísa de Freitas,Maria Norma Melo,Wagner Luiz Tafuri,Daniela de Melo Resende,Vinícius Hermont,Christiane de Freitas Abrantes,Ricardo T. Gazzinelli,Ricardo T. Gazzinelli,Ricardo T. Gazzinelli +12 more
TL;DR: Investigation in dogs of the immunogenicity and protective immunity against Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi infection induced by vaccination with a formulation containing the recombinant A2 protein, an amastigote specific antigen, and saponin found it necessary to allow serological differentiation between vaccinated and infected animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of atorvastatin in a rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis
Michele M. Barsante,Ester Roffê,Celina M Yokoro,Wagner Luiz Tafuri,Danielle G. Souza,Vanessa Pinho,Maria Salete de A Castro,Mauro M. Teixeira +7 more
TL;DR: Atorvastatin markedly ameliorated the histopathological findings of joints obtained from day 16 of arthritic animals and prevented the hypernociception observed in the inflamed joints, illustrating the therapeutic potential of a statin-sensitive pathway in inflammatory arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canine visceral leishmaniosis: a remarkable histopathological picture of one case reported from Brazil.
TL;DR: This report describes a remarkable histopathological presentation of a symptomatic dog naturally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi from Brazil that had severe clinical signs, showed parasites in many organs, but no parasites in the skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10 and TGF-β in lymph nodes associates with parasite load and clinical form of disease in dogs naturally infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi
Cíntia F. Alves,Izabela Ferreira Gontijo de Amorim,Eliane Perlatto Moura,Raul Rio Ribeiro,C. F. Alves,Marilene Suzan Marques Michalick,Evanguedes Kalapothakis,Oscar Bruna-Romero,Wagner Luiz Tafuri,Mauro M. Teixeira,Maria Norma Melo +10 more
TL;DR: The balance of expression of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha (protective) and IL-10 and TGF-beta (disease progression) in lymph nodes determine parasite burden and clinical expression in naturally infected dogs.
