Diversity of the Amoebozoa and Ciliophora Groups in Non-Human Primates Kept Ex Situ and in Their Handlers in Different Institutions in Brazil [PDF]
PathogensParasitic infections in non-human primates (NHPs) kept ex situ can be caused by zoonotic protists like Balantioides coli and Entamoeba histolytica. In Brazil, little is known about these infections in neotropical species.

From Molecules to Amoeboid Movement: A New Way for Understanding the Morphology Through Actin-Binding Proteins [PDF]
BiomoleculesAmoebozoa is a group of single-celled organisms that change their shape during locomotion. However, there is a taxon-specific complex of morphological characters inherent in the moving amoebae, known as locomotive forms. Actin is one of the proteins most

De novo transcriptome dataset of a Mayorella species isolated from deep seaNCBI [PDF]
Data in BriefMayorella marianaensis (Amoebozoa: Discosea) was the only Mayorella species isolated from deep sea (over 3000 m-depth). We firstly present a transcriptomic analysis of the non-model amoeba species collected from the Mariana Trench area.

Adhesion of Dictyostelium Amoebae to Surfaces: A Brief History of Attachments
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Dictyostelium amoebae adhere to extracellular material using similar mechanisms to metazoan cells. Notably, the cellular anchorage loci in Amoebozoa and Metazoa are both arranged in the form of discrete spots and incorporate a similar repertoire of ...

First Record of Potentially Pathogenic Amoeba Vermamoeba vermiformis (Lobosea: Gymnamoebia) Isolated from a Freshwater of Dokdo Island in the East Sea, Korea [PDF]
Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity, 2016 Vermamoeba vermiformis is a very important free-living amoeba for human health in association with Legionnaires’ disease and keratitis. This interesting amoeba was firstly isolated from a freshwater of Dokdo (island), which was historically used for ...
