Estudo comparativo do comportamento da infecção de camundongos, através da inoculação subcutânea e intraperitoneal, utilizando-se duas cepas do Trypanosona cruzi

Abstract: Foram utilizados camundongos brancos, pesando em média 18g e duas cepas de Trypanosoma cruzi, morfologicamente distintas: Y com predominância de formas sangüíneas delgadas e Bolívia com predomínio de formas largas. Os lotes de animais receberam 2 x 10³, 2 x 10(4) e 2 x 10(5) tripanossomos por animal e as vias de inoculação utilizadas foram a intraperitoneal e a subcutânea. Nos animais foi observado o curso de infecção. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que, nos experimentos em que se utilizou a cepa Y, existem a… Show more

“…Additionally, the host immune response will be more competent in containing the spread of the parasite in infected animals at the lowest dose, which explains the decline of blood forms on this group after the twelfth day of infection. Our parasitemia results are in agreement with the literature, which reports that the beginning of the parasitemia and the progress of acute infection in mice may vary depending on the parasite load [18], [34]–[35]. Similar to our findings, it was also demonstrated that approximately 30 days post-infection, few parasitic forms remain [34].…”

Similar to our findings, it was also demonstrated that approximately 30 days post-infection, few parasitic forms remain [34]. Regarding mortality, it is possible to suggest that this variable is partially dependent on the parasite load because some mice infected with the higher inoculum died from the infection.…”

“…Silva and Nussenzweig isolated the Y strain ( T. cruzi ) from an acute human case reported in the city of Marília, São Paulo State, Brazil. Because of its high virulence (type II) and resistance to the current drugs, most of the animals died in the experiments during the acute phase …”

“…Because of its high virulence (type II) and resistance to the current drugs, most of the animals died in the experiments during the acute phase. [56][57][58][59][60][61] According to the literature, the pre-manifestation period occurs before the acute phase, and it lasts until the 7th day postinfection (dpi). The parasitaemia peaks after inoculation of the Y strain (T. cruzi) and occurs in 21-28 dpi.…”

“…O número de tripomastigotas observados por campo foi multiplicado pelo fator de correção para o cálculo da quantidade de parasitas presentes em lml de sangue circulante nos camundongos.3.6 -Produção da infecção com Trypanosoma cruziOs camundongos foram infectados por injeção intraperitoneal de aproximadamente 50.000 formas sanguíneas do T. cruzi. O inóculo desejado foi preparado a partir da diluição do sangue, coletado por punção cardíaca com seringa heparinizada, em uma solução de PBS (Tampão fosfato 0,01M, com salina 0,09%, pH 7,2) contendo soro fetal bovino a 10%, num volume total de 200pl de inóculo por animal(PINTO, 1986). Os animais assim infectados foram separados aleatoriamente para formar os grupos controles e experimentais.3.7 -Teste de microhematócrito para detecção de tripomastigotas de T. cruzi.O sangue a ser testado foi coletado por meio de um tubo capilar(l,2x75mm) não heparinizado.…”
