Assessment of the Immunologic Property of Fusarium Graminearium in MiceBy: Dr.Kedar Karki | 27/01/2008 | NutritionABSTRACT An experiment was conducted to investigate the immunologic property of Fusarium Graminearum infection. Several groups of mice were randomly selected for the following groups: (PC, T1and T2 were groups of mice that respectively received a 1:1, 1:100 and 1:100,000 fungal dilution while T3, T4, and T5 were groups of mice that respectively received the same concentration but each were treated with Diethyl amine Acetarsol (Acetylarsan). A group of mice was included as a negative control (NC). Increase in weight of the spleen doubled as early as the second week (from 49 mg to 80 mg) and progressed up to the fourth week (125 mg) where it tapered off in the untreated group. Similar increase in the weight of the spleen was observed in the treated group mg to 64 mg) but not as great as that in the untreated group (105 mg). Hematological findings showed a lymphocyte count of 1.83 that increased to 3.356, monocyte count of 0.47 that increased to 0.981 and neutrophils increased from 0.399 to 1.698 in untreated groups. Lymphocyte count in the treated group was increased from 1.8 to 3.64, monocytes increased from 0.068 to 0.325 and neutrophils increased from 0.223 to 1.056. High incidence of death was observed in animals that did not receive treatment (PC, T1, and T2) while relatively lower death incidences were exhibited by groups that received diethyl amine acetarsol (T3, T4 and T5). Precipitin test showed that F. graminearum stimulated antibody production in untreated groups detected only from the third to the sixth week post-infection. This was significantly different (P < 0.01) from the higher detection levels of antibody production elicited in treated groups which persisted from the second week sustaining peaks until the sixth week of observation. These findings suggest that F. graminearum is a pathogenic fungi which can elicit immunity and can be treated with diethyIamine acetarsol.
