The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Parasitic protists such as Apicomplexa, an abundant group of soil protists, contribute to ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling in belowground soil systems through their obligate symbioses with soil Metazoa.

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host-Specificity and Threats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

Previously Unidentified Histone H1-Like Protein Is Involved in Cell Division and Ribosome Biosynthesis in Toxoplasma gondii

mSphere, 2022
Chromatin dynamics can regulate all DNA-dependent processes. Access to DNA within chromatin is orchestrated mainly by histones and their posttranslational modifications (PTMs).

Dichloroacetate and Pyruvate Metabolism: Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases as Targets Worth Investigating for Effective Therapy of Toxoplasmosis

mSphere, 2021
Currently, the drugs used for toxoplasmosis have severe toxicity to human cells, and the treatment still lacks effective and safer alternatives. The search for novel drug targets is timely.

Secondary Structure and X-ray Crystallographic Analysis of the Glideosome-Associated Connector (GAC) from Toxoplasma gondii

Crystals, 2022
A model for parasitic motility has been proposed in which parasite filamentous actin (F-actin) is attached to surface adhesins by a large component of the glideosome, known as the glideosome-associated connector protein (GAC).

Identification and Validation of Toxoplasma gondii Mitoribosomal Large Subunit Components

Microorganisms, 2022
Mitochondrial ribosomes are fundamental to mitochondrial function, and thus survival, of nearly all eukaryotes. Despite their common ancestry, mitoribosomes have evolved divergent features in different eukaryotic lineages.

Circadian rhythms and circadian clock gene homologs of complex alga Chromera velia

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Most organisms on Earth are affected by periodic changes in their environment. The circadian clock is an endogenous device that synchronizes behavior, physiology, or biochemical processes to an approximately 24-hour cycle, allowing organisms to ...

Case report: Sarcocystis speeri, Aspergillus fumigatus, and novel Treponema sp. infections in an adult Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
A complete postmortem examination, including a computed tomography scan “virtopsy” (virtual necropsy), gross necropsy, cytology, histology, and molecular diagnostics were performed to investigate the cause of death of a deceased adult male Atlantic ...

Essential Genes of the Parasitic Apicomplexa [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2021
Genome-scale mutagenesis screens for genes essential for apicomplexan parasite survival have been completed in three species: Plasmodium falciparum, the major human malaria parasite, Plasmodium berghei, a model rodent malaria parasite, and the more distantly related Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis. These three species share 2606
