Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Sexual Development in Non-Human Parasitic Apicomplexa: Just Biology or Targets for Control?
Animals, 2021 The phylum Apicomplexa is a major group of protozoan parasites including gregarines, coccidia, haemogregarines, haemosporidia and piroplasms, with more than 6000 named species. Three of these subgroups, the coccidia, hemosporidia, and piroplasms, contain

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Droplet digital PCR as a tool for investigating dynamics of cryptic symbionts
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Interactions among symbiotic organisms and their hosts are major drivers of ecological and evolutionary processes. Monitoring the infection patterns among natural populations and identifying factors affecting these interactions are critical for ...

Plasmodium Actin‐Like Proteins 3 and 5a Are Required for Subsequent Steps of Mosquito Infection
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Actin‐like proteins (Alps) are highly conserved, apicomplexan‐specific members of the actin superfamily. Using reverse genetics, we have identified that Alp3 and Alp5a are required at separate steps of transmission of the malaria parasite to its mosquito host.

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 3‐year‐old female‐intact German Shepherd presented for the evaluation of progressive shifting leg lameness, carpal swelling, and weight loss with a poor appetite since adoption about three months prior. Routine blood smear evaluation, lymph node, and synovial fluid cytologies all revealed rare neutrophils with cytoplasmic inclusions ...

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.
