Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]

, 2012
1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Parasites dominate hyperdiverse soil protist communities in Neotropical rainforests [PDF]

, 2017
High animal and plant richness in tropical rainforest communities has long intrigued naturalists. It is unknown if similar hyperdiversity patterns are reflected at the microbial scale with unicellular eukaryotes (protists).

Molecular epidemiology of Babesia microti in southern Zhejiang: an integrated survey of humans, rodent reservoirs, and tick vectors (2020–2023)

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundBabesia, an intraerythrocytic protozoan, is globally distributed and poses a significant public health burden. In China, human babesiosis is mainly caused by Babesia microti, and the Zhejiang Province is endemic.

GCN5a is a telomeric lysine acetyltransferase whose loss primes Toxoplasma gondii for latency

mSphere
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes persistent infection in warm-blooded vertebrates by undergoing differentiation from a replicative stage (tachyzoites) to a latent encysted stage (bradyzoites).

Simultaneous Ribosome Profiling of Human Host Cells Infected with Toxoplasma gondii

mSphere, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous obligate intracellular parasite that infects the nucleated cells of warm-blooded animals. From within the parasitophorous vacuole in which they reside, Toxoplasma tachyzoites secrete an arsenal of effector proteins that ...

First Detection of Cytauxzoon spp. DNA in Questing Ixodes ricinus Ticks

Microorganisms
Feline cytauxzoonosis is an emerging tick-borne disease in Europe. While infections have been reported in different European countries, the tick vector remains unknown. This study investigated 665 ticks collected in 2019 (n = 160), 2022 (n = 7), and 2024

Genome-wide diversity and gene expression profiling of Babesia microti isolates identify polymorphic genes that mediate host-pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2016
Babesia microti, a tick-transmitted, intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite circulating mainly among small mammals, is the primary cause of human babesiosis.

A myzozoan-specific protein is an essential membrane-anchoring component of the succinate dehydrogenase complex in Toxoplasma parasites

Open Biology
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a protein complex that functions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain of mitochondria. In most eukaryotes, SDH is highly conserved and comprises the following four subunits: SdhA and SdhB form ...
