Caspase-dependent apoptosis of the HCT-8 epithelial cell line induced by the parasite Giardia intestinalis.
Maria Antonietta Panaro,Antonia Cianciulli,Vincenzo Mitolo,Carlo Ivan Mitolo,A. Acquafredda,Olga Brandonisio,Pasqua Cavallo +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that G. intestinalis strain WB clone C6 is able to induce apoptosis in the human intestinal epithelial cell line HCT-8, and the role of caspases in this process is investigated, suggesting a possible role for caspase-dependent apoptOS in the pathogenesis of giardiasis.

Modulation of NF-κB activation by resveratrol in LPS treated human intestinal cells results in downregulation of PGE2 production and COX-2 expression.
Antonia Cianciulli,Rosa Calvello,Pasqua Cavallo,Teresa Dragone,Vito Emanuele Carofiglio,Maria Antonietta Panaro +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the down-regulation of COX-2 and PGE(2) by resveratrol may be related to NF-κB inhibition through the negative regulation of IKK phosphorylation in intestinal cells.

Giardia Cysts and Cryptosporidium Oocysts in Membrane-Filtered Municipal Wastewater Used for Irrigation
Antonio Lonigro,A. Pollice,R. Spinelli,Federica Berrilli,D. Di Cave,C. D’Orazi,Pasqua Cavallo,Olga Brandonisio +7 more
TL;DR: A wastewater tertiary treatment system based on membrane ultrafiltration and fed with secondary-treated municipal wastewater was evaluated for its Giardia cyst and Cryptosporidium oocyst removal efficiency.

Giardia and Cryptosporidium in inflowing water and harvested shellfish in a Lagoon in Southern Italy.
Annunziata Giangaspero,Roberta Cirillo,Vita Lacasella,Antonio Lonigro,Marianna Marangi,Pasqua Cavallo,Federica Berrilli,David Di Cave,Olga Brandonisio +8 more
TL;DR: W Wastewaters carrying Giardia and Cryptosporidium are discharged into the Lagoon; however, the shellfish harvested in the same environment were found to be unaffected, thus suggesting that physical, ecological and climatic conditions may prevent contamination of harvested shellfish.

Cytokine expression in dogs with natural Leishmania infantum infection.
Maria Antonietta Panaro,Olga Brandonisio,Antonia Cianciulli,Pasqua Cavallo,Vita Lacasella,Paola Paradies,Gabriella Testini,Donato De Caprariis,Vincenzo Mitolo,Domenico Otranto +9 more
TL;DR: Results show a mixed Th1 and Th2 cytokine response in Leishmania-infected dogs, with higher cytokine expression in dogs with manifest clinical disease, during the second follow-up after 8 months from the first diagnosis of infection.
