The presence of in zoos is cause of alert because many susceptible species kept in captivity die of clinical toxoplasmosis. Moreover, excretion of oocysts by infected captive wild felines into the facilities could pose a risk to workers. Herbivores in wild collections can serve as sentinels of local transmission, since they get infected by the consumption of oocysts present in ground or water.

Odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. Ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. We previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas.

Article Synopsis
  • - BALB/c mice can develop murine plasmacytoma (MPC) due to inflammation from pristane oil injections, unlike C57BL/6 mice which do not develop MPC from the same treatment.
  • - Researchers analyzed different lymphocyte populations (Treg, Th17, B1, B2, and NHC) in the peritoneal area of both BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice after oil treatment.
  • - The study found that both strains had reduced Th17 and B lymphocytes, but only BALB/c mice displayed an increase in natural helper cells (NHC), possibly contributing to the development of myeloma.
