The Long and Short of Next Generation Sequencing for Cryptosporidium Research

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The intestinal parasite Cryptosporidium is a significant cause of severe diarrhoeal disease that can have long term effects. Therapeutic options remain limited despite a significant impact on public health, partly due to various challenges in the field ...

Colpodella sp. (ATCC 50594) Life Cycle: Myzocytosis and Possible Links to the Origin of Intracellular Parasitism

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
Colpodella species are free living bi-flagellated protists that prey on algae and bodonids in a process known as myzocytosis. Colpodella species are phylogenetically related to Apicomplexa. We investigated the life cycle of Colpodella sp. (ATCC 50594) to

Studies on coccidian oocysts (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014
The oocysts of the coccidia are robust structures, frequently isolated from the feces or urine of their hosts, which provide resistance to mechanical damage and allow the parasites to survive and remain infective for prolonged periods. The diagnosis of coccidiosis, species description and systematics, are all dependent upon characterization of the ...

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Forward Genetics in Apicomplexa Biology: The Host Side of the Story

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Forward genetic approaches have been widely used in parasitology and have proven their power to reveal the complexities of host-parasite interactions in an unbiased fashion.

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

The Genus Hepatozoon (Apicomplexa: Adeleina) [PDF]

The Journal of Parasitology, 1996
Hemogregarines of the genus Hepatozoon are intraerythrocytic apicomplexan parasites that have been described from all groups of tetrapod vertebrates. Gametogenesis, fertilization, and sporogonic development, which culminates in the formation of polysporocystic oocysts, occur in the gut or hemocoel of a hematophagous arthropod definitive host. Merogonic

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Seroprevalence and Genotype Distribution of Toxoplasma gondii Among Pregnant Women in Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection poses significant risks during pregnancy, yet data on seroprevalence and genotype diversity in Ethiopia are scarce. Objective This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence, associated risk factors, and genotype distribution of T. gondii among pregnant women in Northwest Ethiopia.
