Modeling the Ruminant Placenta-Pathogen Interactions in Apicomplexan Parasites: Current and Future Perspectives

Ivan Pastor-Fernandez et al.

Summary: Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii are major concerns in the livestock industry, leading to economic losses and reproductive failure in ruminants. Current knowledge gaps exist in understanding the host-parasite interactions in the placenta, hindering the development of effective vaccines and treatments. Utilizing ruminant animal models, in vitro systems, and placental explants can provide insights into pathogenic mechanisms and host immune responses, but each has limitations that need to be addressed for further research and development.

Endochin-like quinolones (ELQs) and bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs): Synergistic and additive effects of combined treatments against Neospora caninum infection in vitro and in vivo

Nicoleta Anghel et al.

Summary: Neospora caninum, an apicomplexan parasite, is a major pathogen causing congenital neosporosis. Bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) and endochin-like quinolones (ELQs) are two classes of drugs under development that have shown promising effects in limiting congenital neosporosis. Combining BKI-1748 and ELQ-334 has demonstrated synergistic effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies, resulting in improved outcomes compared to single drug treatments.

Outbreaks of clinical toxoplasmosis in humans: five decades of personal experience, perspectives and lessons learned

Jitender P. Dubey

Summary: This study critically reviewed outbreaks of clinical toxoplasmosis in humans from 1966 to 2020, finding most outbreaks occurred in Brazil. There were no apparent differences in symptoms between meat-acquired and oocyst-acquired infections. Fever, cervical lymphadenopathy, myalgia, and fatigue were the most important symptoms, and they were not age-dependent.

In vitro activity, safety and in vivo efficacy of the novel bumped kinase inhibitor BKI-1748 in non-pregnant and pregnant mice experimentally infected with Neospora caninum tachyzoites and Toxoplasma gondii oocysts

Dennis Imhof et al.

Summary: Bumped kinase inhibitors (BKIs) target apicomplexan parasites by inhibiting their proliferation, with BKI1748 showing promising results in both in vitro and animal models. The compound was safe and effective in pregnant mice, and demonstrated inhibition of vertical transmission and reduced parasite loads in non-pregnant mice. BKI-1748 also showed potential in reducing ocular infection in a Toxoplasma gondii model. Overall, BKI-1748 presents itself as a promising candidate for further research on neosporosis and toxoplasmosis in larger animal models.
