Viruses in human central nervous system — invasion, transmission, and latency: a literature review by Vitaliy I. Tsymbaliuk, Iryna H. Vasileva

“…Currently, there are known several pathways of viruses penetration into the central nervous system: a straight path – the viruses from the site of local infection are directly introduced penetrate into the nerve endings of the peripheral or central nervous system; “Trojan horse” – the transporters of these viruses are leukocytes infected with the virus; mechanism of CNS damage mediated by immune system consisting in the fact that local destruction of the blood-brain barrier is achieved as a result of due to immune cells activation and local production of cytokines.After penetration into the neuronal cell, viruses are moved through its structures and are transmitted migrate into other neuronal cells. …”

Ethno-cultural particularity of English, French and Russian phrasiological units with components of names of domestic animals by E. N. Belaya

“…The conclusion is made that in these three languages universal meanings are set expressions with the components of «horse» (Trojan Horse, carthorse) and «cow» (milk cow), and that the comparative analysis of P.U. demonstrates difference in linguistic pictures of the world and sheds light on ethnic logic…”

Infection by Toxoplasma gondii Induces Amoeboid-Like Migration of Dendritic Cells in a Three-Dimensional Collagen Matrix. by Sachie Kanatani, Per Uhlén, Antonio Barragan

“…Notably, dendritic cells (DCs) infected by T. gondii acquire a hypermigratory phenotype that potentiates parasite dissemination by a 'Trojan horse' type of mechanism in mice. Previous studies have demonstrated that, shortly after parasite invasion, infected DCs exhibit hypermotility in 2-dimensional confinements in vitro and enhanced transmigration in transwell systems. …”

Western Evolutionism in the Muslim World by Victor Danner

“…In this fashion, evolutionism, an ideology that arose in the West and succeeded in utterly de-Christianizing the West, has now penetrated into the Muslim world like a Trojan horse. That being so, we would do well to examine the origins of evolutionary thinking in the West to discern both its nature and to see how it displaced Christian beliefs and institutions. …”

Sprayable inflammasome-inhibiting lipid nanorods in a polymeric scaffold for psoriasis therapy by Dhanashree Surve, Adam Fish, Maharshi Debnath, Aniruddha Pinjari, Adrian Lorenzana, Sumi Piya, Shelly Peyton, Ashish Kulkarni

“…The present work demonstrates the development of non-spherical lipid nanoparticles, mimicking pathogen-like shapes, consisting of an anti-inflammatory inflammasome inhibiting lipid (pyridoxine dipalmitate) as a trojan horse. The nanorods inhibit inflammasome by 3.8- and 4.5-fold compared with nanoellipses and nanospheres, respectively. …”

Neurotropic effects of respiratory viral infections: mental and neuropsychological aspects by A.A. Shuprovich

“…Viral pathogens can enter the central nervous system (CNS) in various ways, including through hematogenous infection of the endothelium (the “Trojan horse” mechanism) as well as through peripheral nerves or olfactory sensory neurons. …”

Human cytomegalovirus entry into dendritic cells occurs via a macropinocytosis-like pathway in a pH-independent and cholesterol-dependent manner. by Fabienne Haspot, Amélie Lavault, Christian Sinzger, Kerstin Laib Sampaio, York-Dieter Stierhof, Paul Pilet, Céline Bressolette-Bodin, Franck Halary

“…Together, these data allowed us to delineate the early mechanisms of the internalization and entry of an endothelio/dendrotropic HCMV strain into human MDDCs and to propose that DCs can serve as a "Trojan horse" to convey CMV from entry sites to other locations that may favor the occurrence of either latency or acute infection.…”

Free-Living Amoebae as Human Parasites and Hosts for Pathogenic Microorganisms by Patrick Scheid

“…In the cyst-stage of the FLA these intracellular organisms (endocytobionts) are protected to a high degree against any adverse environment (FLA as “Trojan horse”). This host-endocytobiont relationship may further lead to health risks in terms of the development of pathogenicity/virulence and antibiotic resistance (FLA as “Trainings ground”).…”

Riders on the storm: the role of populism in the global crisis of democracy and in the functioning of electoral autocracies by Benedek István

“…Populism, understood as an autocratic (re-)interpretation of democracy and representation, could be a particularly dangerous Trojan Horse for democracy. First and foremost, because its idea of a single, homogeneous and authentic people that can be legitimately represented only by the populist leader is a moralised form of antipluralism which is contrary to the pluralist approach of democracy (i.e. polyarchy). …”
