We provide an overview of pathogens causing digestive disorders in the tropics and evaluate available reference tests.
Resistance to chloroquine of malaria strains is known to be associated with a parasite protein named PfCRT, the mutated form of which is able to reduce chloroquine accumulation in the digestive vacuole of the pathogen.
As well, essential oils of black seed block the effect of pathogens in the digestive system and improve feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and carcass yield (Gilani et al., 2004).
Logistic regression models will be employed to estimate associations of putative pathogens with persistent digestive disorders.
Firstly, few studies analysed the spectrum of intestinal pathogens causing persistent digestive disorders in the tropics.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.00658.002 Mucus is secreted by specialized cells that line the respiratory and digestive tract to protect against pathogens and other forms of cellular abuse.
The differences in the reactive-centre sequences of these otherwise closely related serpins might reflect a need to broaden the inhibitory specificity of the rice serpin complement for defence against digestive proteinases from insects or pathogens.
The Introduction begins with the following statements: "Mucus is secreted by specialized cells that line the respiratory and digestive tract to protect against pathogens and other forms of cellular abuse.
In the case of pathogens using the digestive tract as a gateway to infect the host or posing a threat in the local environment, the midgut could act as a sensing organ for priming the immune system [ 8, 34].
Ingested blood in leeches' digestive tract can contain various pathogens, including HIV and hepatitis B, that, although unproven, could be re-injected into another host by regurgitation during the manipulation of leech removal [ 22].
