Identification of Distinct Interacting Proteins of Giardia lamblia Centrins Using Yeast Two‐Hybrid Assays

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Giardia lamblia, a protozoan parasite that causes diarrhea in humans, contains two centrins implicated in cellular morphology and cell division. To identify proteins interacting with each G. lamblia centrin (GlCent), we performed a yeast two‐hybrid assay.

Protein disulfide isomerase of Toxoplasma gondii is targeted by mucosal IgA antibodies in humans

, 2002
Mass spectrometric analysis identified a 49 kDa antigen from Toxoplasma gondii as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). This antigen is generally recognized by IgA in tears of healthy humans.

An Atypical Aquaporin 1 Derived From Paramecium multimicronucleatum Functions as a Multifunctional Channel That Permeates Water, Glycerol, and Urea

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Although it had been reported that the translation product of the functional aquaporin gene, aqp1, is localized to the contractile vacuole complex of Paramecium multimicronucleatum, the molecules that pass through this channel protein had not been identified. In the present study, we introduced and expressed this protein in Xenopus oocytes and

Parasite strain specificity of precursor cytotoxic T cells in individual animals correlates with cross-protection in cattle challenged with Theileria parva

, 1995
Class I major histocompatibility complex-restricted parasite-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are known to be a major component of the bovine immune response to the protozoan parasite Theileria parva, but formal proof for their role in protection ...

Longitudinal serological measures of common infection in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2018
Antibodies against pathogens provide information on exposure to infectious agents and are meaningful measures of past and present infection. Antibodies were measured in the plasma of children that are the offspring in a population-based birth cohort, the

Landscape wetness and beaver wetlands enhance environmental prevalence of Francisella spp.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Identifying the contributions of biotic and abiotic factors in pathogen transmission is essential to mitigate vector‐borne and zoonotic disease risk. Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of the infectious disease tularemia in wildlife and humans. Environmental factors driving transmission in wildlife, including the role of hares and
