In this study the efficacy of an intramuscular formulation of toltrazuril combined with gleptoferron for the control of porcine cystoisosporosis caused by Cystoisospora suis was investigated. The study was carried out on three Belgian farms with a confirmed history of C. suis infections.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers compared the protein structure and N-glycosylation of a native protective protein and a non-protective recombinant version from Pichia pastoris, finding them structurally similar but with different sugar compositions.
  • * By mimicking the native protein's sugar structure using Nicotiana benthamiana plants, calves immunized with this plant-produced vaccine showed a 39% reduction in parasite eggs, indicating potential for effective recombinant vaccines against nematodes.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Bregt Decorte"

  • - Bregt Decorte's recent research highlights the efficacy of an injectable formulation combining toltrazuril and gleptoferron in controlling Cystoisospora suis infections in neonatal piglets, demonstrating a potential intervention for improving growth and health in affected livestock.
  • - He has also focused on the development of a protective vaccine antigen against the economically significant parasitic nematode Ostertagia ostertagi, exploring the structural and glycosylation features of native proteins to enhance immune responses.
  • - Overall, Decorte's work addresses critical challenges in veterinary parasitology, aiming to develop effective treatments and vaccines to improve the health and productivity of livestock in agricultural settings.
