The expression of the carboxylesterase type B (CestB) gene is known to be induced upon exposure to the anthelmintic triclabendazole (TCBZ), leading to a substantial rise in enzyme-specific activity. Furthermore, the nucleotide sequence of the CestB gene displays variations that can potentially result in radical amino acid substitutions at the ligand binding site. These substitutions hold the potential to impact both the ligand-protein interaction and the catalytic properties of the enzyme.

- Enteric diseases in livestock, such as coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp., significantly impact productivity and cause economic losses due to high mortality and decreased growth rates.
- The study aimed to identify the eleven Eimeria species affecting sheep in the southeastern State of Mexico, using morphological techniques and partial sequencing of the ITS-1 rRNA region.
- The findings revealed phylogenetic connections between Eimeria species in sheep and those in other animals and proposed a new diagnostic method with implications for understanding ovine coccidial infections.
Influence of levamisole and Freund's adjuvant on mouse immunisation with antigens of adults of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica Linnaeus, 1758.

We have studied the influence of both levamisole (AL) and Freund's adjuvant (AF) on the immunisation of mice with the secretory antigens of adults of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica Linnaeus, 1758. Total IgG antibodies were detected in all groups where the F. hepatica antigen was administered, been levels of IgG1 increased respect to IgG2a antibodies.
