Occurrence and Risk Factors of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Tigers (Panthera tigris) in Thailand: Influence of Age and Sex

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study investigated Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies in 135 captive tigers across seven Thai tiger parks using latex agglutination. Results revealed a high overall positivity rate of 42.96%. Ordinal logistic regression analysis demonstrated sex and age were significant risk factors, with females (OR = 20.13) and older tigers (OR = 1.91 ...

Characterization of T cell clones from chagasic patients: predominance of CD8 surface phenotype in clones from patients with pathology

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1995
Human Chagas' disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is associated with pathological processes whose mechanisms are not known. To address this question, T cell lines were developed from chronic chagasic patients peripheral blood mononuclear ...

Blood Protozoan Infection Disrupts Ovarian Follicular Development in Dairy Cattle: A Mechanistic Link to Reproductive Failure

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Subclinical haemoprotozoan infection disrupts RBC integrity, and that leads to decreased Hb level and excess free iron in plasma. That subsequently impairs ovarian follicular development and thereby builds up a mechanistic link to reproductive failure in dairy cattle.

Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum prevalence and risk factors on goat farms in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand

open access: yesVeterinary Integrative Sciences, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are apicomplexan protozoan parasites that have been associated with reproductive problems in ruminants. Despite the high seroprevalence of T. gondii and N.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 2366-2380, July 2026.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Cytosolic delivery of bacterial metabolites by riboflavin transporters promotes MR1 antigen presentation and MAIT cell recognition

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 595-608, July 2026.
VitBAg antigen presentation is promoted through a cytosolic pathway that reaches ligand‐receptive MR1 to present to MAIT cells, like the riboflavin transport pathway. Riboflavin solute carrier transporters can promote this MR1 presentation, but they are not essential for this role, suggesting redundant pathways to uptake VitBAg.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Production of Specific Egg Yolk Antibody (IgY) against Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts

open access: yesMedical Laboratory Journal, 2016
Background and Objectives: Cryptosporidium parvum is a coccidian protozoan that causes diarrhea in immunocompromised humans and newborn animals. The severity of the disease depends on the immunological status of the affected.
