Description of a new actinosporean type from South African freshwater [PDF]
, 2004 The 1st report on actinospores described these organisms as parasites related to myxosporeans. For a long time this group of parasites was believed to represent an independent taxonomic entity.

Passive immunization against Histomonas meleagridis does not protect turkeys from an experimental infection [PDF]
, 2009 Histomonosis or blackhead is a disease of gallinaceous birds, caused by the protozoan Histomonas meleagridis. As recent regulatory action has removed almost all drugs against this disease from the European market, the development of new prophylactics has

A latent ability to persist: differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2018 A critical factor in the transmission and pathogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii is the ability to convert from an acute disease-causing, proliferative stage (tachyzoite), to a chronic, dormant stage (bradyzoite).

B-Cell Response during Protozoan Parasite Infections
Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012 In this review, we discuss how protozoan parasites alter immature and mature B cell compartment. B1 and marginal zone (MZ) B cells, considered innate like B cells, are activated during protozoan parasite infections, and they generate short lived plasma ...

Stress-Dependent Expression of a Polymorphic, Charged Antigen in the Protozoan Parasite Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT We have identified a novel stress inducible gene, Ehssp1 in Entamoeba histolytica , the causative agent of amebiasis. Ehssp1 belongs to a polymorphic, multigene family and is present on multiple chromosomes. No homologue of this gene was found in the NCBI database.
