Résumé
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important zoonotic diseases with a worldwide distribution. It is caused by the larval stage of the dog tapeworm "Echinococcus granulosussensu lato" and constitutes a major economic and public health problem in several countries. Protoscoleces are one component of this larval stage that can interact with both definitive and intermediate hosts. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of using a radio-attenuated form of these protoscoleces for immunoprophylaxis against experimental murine echinococcosis. However, mice were immunized twice at 15-day intervals with gamma (γ) irradiated protoscoleces at doses of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.4 kGy then challenged with the intact parasites. Macroscopic and histological analyses with cytokine measurements were performed in order to estimate the number and diameter of cysts, microscopic changes and cytokine profile. An improvement in protection against the challenge dose was observed with increasing dose, giving percentages of 47.7, 49, 55.23 and 70.6%, for the 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 and 1.4 kGy-groups respectively. These data suggest that immunization with radio-attenuated protoscoleces may induce satisfactory protective immunity by reducing successfully the formation of cysts, caused by challenge infection.
