The coccidian parasite Neospora caninum is an intracellular protozoan, causing abortion in cattle in many countries around the world. In this study, the protective potential of the major N. caninum surface antigen NcSRS2, expressed in Escherichia coli and formulated into immunostimulating complexes (iscoms), was investigated in an experimental mouse model. The recombinant protein was specially designed for binding to iscoms via biotin-streptavidin interaction. Two groups of 10 BALB/c mice were immunised twice, on days 0 and 28 with iscoms containing either the recombinant NcSRS2 (NcSRS2 iscoms) or similar iscoms with NcSRS2 substituted by an unrelated recombinant malaria peptide (M5) as a control (M5 iscoms). A third group of 10 age-matched BALB/c mice served as an uninfected control group. Immunisation with recombinant NcSRS2 iscoms resulted in production of substantial antibody titres against N. caninum antigen, while the mice immunised with M5 iscoms produced only very low levels of antibodies reacting with N. caninum antigen. After challenge infection with N. caninum tachyzoites on day 69, mice immunised with NcSRS2 iscoms showed only mild and transient symptoms, whereas the group immunised with M5 iscoms showed clinical symptoms until the end of the experiment at 31 days post inoculation. A competitive PCR assay detecting Nc5-repeats was applied to evaluate the level of parasite DNA in the brain. The amount of Nc5-repeats in the group vaccinated with NcSRS2 iscoms was significantly lower than in the control group given M5 iscoms. In conclusion, it was found that the recombinant NcSRS2 iscoms induced specific antibodies to native NcSRS2 and immunity sufficient to reduce the proliferation of N. caninum in the brains of immunised mice. 相似文献

CB-17 scid and BALB/c male mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with Neospora caninum to examine the possibility of its venereal transmission. Some of these mice were killed on days 7 and 20 post-inoculation to examine the genital organs for presence of the parasite. The remaining scid male mice were housed with non-infected female mice from day 7 p.i. and kept with them for 14 days. These scid mice died between days 28 and 35 p.i. N. caninum DNA was detected in the testis of mice on days 7 and 20 p.i. by PCR and tachyzoite viability was determined by bioassay conducted by means of mouse inoculation. Microscopically, fewer tachyzoites were detected in the testis obtained on day 20 p.i., than in other organs. The inoculated BALB/c male mice survived until the end of the experiment with no clinical signs and N. caninum DNA was detected in the testis on day 7 p.i. but not on day 14 p.i. Five of eight female scid mice housed with infected males became pregnant. Tachyzoites were detected in three of these mice and their neonates (n=3, 5 and 13, respectively). In three non-pregnant mice, no parasite was detected. Two of the four female BALB/c mice housed with infected male scid mice became pregnant but the parasite was not detected in them or in the neonates (n=3 and 13, respectively). These results indicate that the tachyzoites were present in the genital organs of the immunodeficient mice from day 7 p.i. and suggest that transmission may occur through mating with male mice. 相似文献

Neospora caninum (BT-2 strain) that originated from the brain of a Holstein calf was serially passaged through 10 generations of BALB/c nude mice by intraperitoneal inoculation. Histological examination of the mice revealed that numerous clusters of tachyzoites appeared in the pancreas, stomach and small intestine as well as in the central nervous system (CNS) and skeletal muscles. Intestinal contents of the infected mice were inoculated intraperitoneally into uninfected nude mice and 3 of the 17 inoculated mice showed clinical signs at post inoculation days 3 to 10. The present experiments demonstrated a proliferation of N. caninum tachyzoites in the mucosa of the alimentary tract and pancreas of the nude mice and the intestinal contents of the mice were infective to other nude mice. 相似文献

AIM: To isolate Neospora caninum from the brains of naturally infected cattle and use molecular techniques to characterise the isolates. METHODS: Neospora caninum tachyzoites were isolated in Vero cell culture from the brains of a cow and two calves. The isolates were characterised using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods, DNA sequencing, an immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The brains of the three cattle were subjected to histopathological examination. A pathogenicity study was conducted in 120 BALB/c mice. RESULTS: Neospora caninum tachyzoites were isolated from all three cases and first observed in vitro between 14 and 17 days post-inoculation. Parasites were sub-cultured and maintained in Vero cell culture for more than 6 months. PCR products were generated for all three isolates, using two different primers. Sequencing of the PCR products and a subsequent BLAST search identified the isolates as N. caninum. In addition, the isolates tested positive using IFAT and IHC, and ultrastructure revealed by TEM was characteristic of N. caninum. Histopathological examination revealed lesions characteristic of N. caninum in 1/3 brains. In the pathogenicity study using BALB/c mice, the mortality rate was 3-7%. CONCLUSION: This was the first successful isolation of N. caninum in New Zealand confirmed using molecular characterisation tests. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To isolate Neospora caninum from a congenitally infected calf. PROCEDURE: A calf was obtained from a N. caninum infected dam maintained in a dairy herd of Holstein-Friesian cattle located on the south coast of NSW near Nowra. The calf was euthanased and samples collected for serology and pathology. Samples of brain and spinal cord of the calf were homogenised and injected into immunocompromised mice in an attempt to recover protozoa by in vivo culture. Sequential passage of brain homogenate through IFNgammaPKO mice was performed and tissue culture flasks were inoculated with brain homogenate. Parasites were identified by electron microscopy and DNA sequencing. The antigen profile of the isolate was analysed using Western blotting. Pathogenicity was examined in BALB/c mice and transmission of the parasite during pregnancy was examined in Qs mice. RESULTS: The calf was seropositive for N. caninum and histopathological examination of sections of cerebrum identified lesions consistent with a very mild infection with N. caninum. The parasites isolated using tissue culture were identified as N. caninum, based on the sequence of the ribosomal DNA and electron microscopy. The antigen profile of the new isolate was similar to that of the NC-Liverpool isolate, but quite different from that of Toxoplasma gondii. In BALB/c mice inoculated with the new isolate, severe clinical signs developed in only three of ten infected mice, compared with six of ten mice infected with NC-Liverpool. Mild to moderate nonsuppurative encephalitis was observed in BALB/c mice infected with the new isolate, compared with mice infected with NC-Liverpool, that developed severe nonsuppurative encephalitis. Transplacental transmission of the isolate arising from an acute infection during pregnancy occurred in about 87% of pups. CONCLUSION: This is the first isolation of bovine Neospora caninum in Australia. This isolate, called NC-Nowra, appears to be a less virulent form and may prove to be a suitable candidate for vaccine development. 相似文献

To examine the frequency of congenital infection by Neospora caninum, BALB/c mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with tachyzoites of N. caninum either during pregnancy (Group 1) or 4 weeks or more before pregnancy (Group 2). Further, the mice inoculated during pregnancy were bred at 4 weeks or more after delivery to form Group 3. Congenital transmission was observed in 76% of the neonates of the mice in Group 1 and in 50% of the neonates of the mice in Group 2. Interestingly, congenital transmission was observed in 86% of the neonates from Group 3. These results suggest that chronically-infected BALB/c mice efficiently transmit N. caninum infection to their offspring. 相似文献

Neospora hughesi is a recently described cause of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). A rodent model for pathogenicity would facilitate development of therapies to be used in horses. In the present study, we examined the susceptibility of BALB/c gamma-interferon gene knockout (gamma-INFKO), BALB/c, CD-1, and C57BL/6 strains of mice and gerbils to infection with tachyzoites of the Nh-A1 strain of N. hughesi isolated from a horse from AL, USA. Only the gamma-IFNKO mice developed severe clinical disease following infection with N. hughesi and died 19-25 days after infection and exhibited severe cardiac lesions. In contrast, experimental infection of gamma-INFKO mice with tachyzoites of the NC-1 or NC-Liverpool strains of Neospora caninum resulted in deaths 8-10 days after infection. The most severe lesions were in the livers, spleens, and lungs of these mice. Gerbils inoculated with N. hughesi did not develop clinical disease, had few microscopic lesions, but did seroconvert. Two dogs fed the brains of mice, shown to contain N. hughesi tissue stages by cell culture and gamma-IFNKO mouse bioassay, did not shed N. caninum-like oocysts over a 23 days observation period. The marked difference in pathogenicity between the two species of Neospora in gamma-IFNKO mice, and lack of oocyst excretion by dogs fed N. hughesi infected mice provide additional evidence that the species distinction between N. caninum and N. hughesi is valid. 相似文献

First Israeli Neospora caninum isolates were obtained from brain tissues of aborted fetuses (NcIs491 and NcIs580) from dairy farms endemic for neosporosis and maintaining cattle on zero grazing. Tissues from different parts of the fetus brains were used to infect Vero cells. Tachyzoites of N. caninum were first observed in cultures from days 30 and 32 after infection. To confirm the identity of the isolated parasites, DNA extracts from brains and cultures were tested by PCR with specific primers based on the Nc5 gene. Specific fragments were amplified by PCR from infected cultures of both fetuses on day 25. Susceptible seronegative gerbils (Meriones tristrami) were inoculated intraperitoneally with 10(3) to 10(5) tenfold dilutions of subculture tachyzoites. The inoculated gerbils developed specific antibodies to N. caninum, with end-point serum dilution of 1:4096 in the IFA assay, whereas no neurological signs or deaths were seen during 4 months of observation. 相似文献

In this study, the protection afforded by a Neospora caninum inactivated vaccine formulated with three different adjuvants (water-in-oil emulsion, aluminum hydroxide with CpG oligodeoxynucleotides and aluminum hydroxide with ginseng extract) and three different parasite doses (10(5), 5 × 10(5) or 10(6) inactivated whole tachyzoites) was evaluated using a mouse model. Mice were immunized subcutaneously twice at three-week intervals with inactivated Nc-Spain 1H tachyzoites and challenged by intraperitoneal inoculation with 10(6) live Nc-1 tachyzoites. The efficacy of the immunization was evaluated in non-pregnant BALB/c mice on days 1 and 5 (acute infection phase) and days 14 and 30 (chronic infection phase) post-challenge. The results showed the ability of water-in-oil emulsion combined with inactivated 5 × 10(5) tachyzoites to induce protection against neosporosis during the chronic stage, limiting parasite multiplication in the brain. Aluminum hydroxide-ginseng extract and inactivated tachyzoites reduced the number of parasites circulating in the blood during acute phase but failed to limit the establishment of chronic infection. On the other hand, a dose-effect was observed in groups vaccinated with aluminum hydroxide-ginseng extract in which the lesion severity increased as the inactivated tachyzoite dose. This study demonstrates that efficacy can significantly vary depending on the adjuvant, the dose of antigen and the phase of N. caninum infection in which the vaccine is tested. 相似文献

Little information is available regarding a delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction in neosporosis. In this study, we examined the elicitation of a DTH reaction in mice infected with Neospora caninum by inoculation of the footpad with tachyzoite antigens. The footpads of BALB/c mice infected with N. caninum and those of non-infected were injected with either the tachyzoite extract, or paraformaldehyde-fixed tachyzoites. In mice inoculated with N. caninum antigens on day 7 p.i. swelling peaked at 6h after injection of the tachyzoite extract. In mice inoculated on days 14, 28 and 56, swelling was observed between 6 and 72 h afterwards. Mice immunized with the tachyzoite extract plus adjuvant showed peak footpad swelling at 6h post injection, and the swelling had decreased at 24h or later. In contrast, mice injected before infection showed no specific swelling. In sections of footpads injected with the tachyzoite extract, exudate had accumulated at 6h post injection and clusters of infiltrated lymphocytes were observed at 48 h post injection. In mice administered anti-CD4+ cell monoclonal antibodies swelling had decreased at 24h post injection of the extract. These results indicate that mice infected with N. caninum produce a DTH reaction, which is a good indicator of the development of type 1 immune responses. 相似文献
