Freezing infective-stage larvae from Anisakis simplex and their produce at -20 degrees C for 24 h does not prevent the occurrence of autonomic imbalance in rat ileum.

Unlabelled: In the present report, we analyze the efficacy of the sanitary regulations to kill the Anisakis simplex larvae (As L3) (heat or freeze) to avoid the gastrointestinal alterations that it provokes. We studied the effects on intestinal contractility (muscular tone, amplitude, and frequency of the twitches and cholinergic and alpha-adrenergic stimulus) of As L3, their crude extracts (CE) and excretory-secretory products (ESP), untreated or heated (60 degrees C for 15 min) or frozen (-20 degrees C for 24 h) using rat ileum and an isometric system. Carbachol and noradrenaline have been used as cholinergic and alpha-adrenergic stimulus, respectively.

Heat shock protein synthesis over time in infective Trichinella spiralis larvae raised in suboptimal culture conditions.

Changes in the viability, infectivity and heat shock protein (Hsp) levels are reported in Trichinella spiralis first stage larvae (L1) stored in 199 medium for up to seven days at 37 degrees C. These conditions induce stress that the larvae, eventually, cannot overcome. After three days of storage, the infectivity and viability were unchanged, although higher Hsp70 levels were observed.

Altered autonomic control in rat intestine due to both infection with Anisakis simplex and incubation with the parasite's crude extract.

Anisakis simplex IgE may bring on allergic responses such as angioedema, vomiting, and urticaria from eating seafood, but it is not the only etiology. Induced cholinergic hyperreactivity or adrenergic blockade in the target tissue can cause these diseases nonimmunologically also. Here we studied the effects on normal intestinal motility of brief A.

Oxidative, heat and anthelminthic stress responses in four species of Trichinella: comparative study.

The aim of this study was to compare levels of stress proteins in four Trichinella species when exposed to different stressors. Heat shock protein (HSP) 60, 70 and 90 responses were evaluated in infective larvae (L(1)) of four classic Trichinella species following exposure to oxidative, anthelminthic and thermal stress. Larvae of T.

Expression of Hsp90, Hsp70 and Hsp60 in Trichinella species exposed to oxidative shock.

Stress response and phosphorylation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) 60, 70 and 90 were studied in Trichinella nativa, T. nelsoni, T. pseudospiralis and T.
