Both cases indicate a causal association with pregnancy and likely immunosuppression.
Systemic immunosuppression in these rabbits was imputed as the mechanism underlying improved tick feeding success, which may also explain our observations here.
The limited success in establishing the parasite in a laboratory definitive host prompted the decision to attempt host immunosuppression.
Consistently reproducible worm burdens were obtained without the need of immunosuppression or exsheathment of larvae prior to inoculation.
In other words, tailormade immunotherapy instead of prolonged, intense immunosuppression seems a promising possibility.
Reactivation may be spontaneous, induced by stress, fever, radiation therapy or immunosuppression.
These results suggest that the impact of patient genotype is influenced by the period of immunosuppression post transplant before donor immune reconstitution occurs.
In animal models of these procedures, the acceptance of subsequent grafts is often achieved without the need for additional immunosuppression.
