Study of circulating antigens and antibodies in goat and sheep fascioliasis by electroimmunodiffusion test and micro-Elisa.
Circulating antigens were detected by electroimmunodiffusion test and ...micro-Elisa respectively in 96,4 % and 88,4 % sera of 138 goats and in 91,8 % and 72,6 % sera of 73 sheep with F. hepatica natural infection. Whereas using the same methods antibody detection was positive respectively in 8 % and 9,5 % sera of the goats and negative in sheep. 60 controls without F. hepatica infection had neither antigens nor antibodies in their sera. In rabbit experimental infection circulating antigens were detected after 48 hours, 5 and 20 days proving their early presence and suggesting a relationship between the parasite cycle. Circulating antigen detection appears to be a sensitive method of fascioliasis diagnosis in goats and sheep.
Des antigènes circulants de F. hepatica sont détectés par immunoélectro-diffusion et micro-Elisa respectivement chez 96,4 % et 88,4 % de 138 caprins et chez 91,8 % et 72,6 % de 73 ovins infectés naturellement alors que les anticorps ne sont retrouvés qu’en IED chez 8 % des caprins et 9,5 % des ovins. 60 animaux témoins non infectés ne comportent ni antigène ni anticorps. De plus dans l’infection expérimentale du lapin des antigènes circulants sont détectés à 48 h, 5 jours et 20 jours, suggérant une relation avec le cycle du parasite et confirmant leur précocité d’apparition. La recherche d’antigène circulant apparaît comme une excellente méthode de diagnostic des animaux infectés.

In this work we study the striking case of a narrow blue stream around the NGC 7241 galaxy and its foreground dwarf companion. We want to figure out if the stream was generated by tidal interaction ...with NGC 7241 or it first interacted with the foreground dwarf companion and later both fell together towards NGC 7241. We use four sets of observations, including a follow-up spectroscopic study with the MEGARA instrument at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. Our data suggest that the compact object we detected in the stream is a foreground Milky Way halo star. Near this compact object we detect emission lines overlapping a bluer and fainter blob of the stream that is clearly visible in both ultra-violet and optical deep images. From its heliocentric systemic radial velocity (Vsyst= 1548.58+/-1.80 km s^-1) and new UV and optical broad-band photometry, we conclude that this over-density could be the actual core of the stream, with an absolute magnitude of M_g ~ -10 and a (g-r) = 0.08 +/- 0.11, consistent with a remnant of a low-mass dwarf satellite undergoing a current episode of star formation. From the width of the stream and assuming a circular orbit, we calculate that the progenitor mass can be the typical of a dwarf galaxy, but it could also be substantially lower if the stream is on a very radial orbit or it was created by tidal interaction with the companion dwarf instead of with NGC 7241. Finally, we find that blue stellar streams containing star formation regions are commonly predicted by high-resolution cosmological simulations of galaxies lighter than the Milky Way. This scenario is consistent with the processes explaining the bursty star formation history of some dwarf satellites, which are followed by a gas depletion and a fast quenching once they enter within the virial radius of their host galaxies for the first time.
