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

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

Divergent polyamine metabolism in the Apicomplexa [PDF]
Microbiology, 2007 The lead enzymes of polyamine biosynthesis, i.e. ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC), were not detected in Toxoplasma gondii [the limit of detection for ODC and ADC was 5 pmol min(-1) (mg protein)(-1)], indicating that T. gondii lacks a forward-directed polyamine biosynthetic pathway, and is therefore a polyamine auxotroph ...

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Simultaneous Ribosome Profiling of Human Host Cells Infected with
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 ...

Insights into the Cell Division of Neospora caninum
Microorganisms, 2023 Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite responsible for causing neosporosis in a range of animal species. It results in substantial economic losses in the livestock industry and poses significant health risks to companion and wild animals.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Freshwater and sediment environments host diverse microeukaryotic communities that differ in structure and composition, yet exhibit taxonomic overlap. Using 18S V9 rRNA gene sequencing, we compared communities from these habitats in controlled 10‐day mesocosm experiments, examining diversity, overlap, and responses to treated wastewater (TWW).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We determined the associations and risk factors of infection by lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), three avian Mycoplasma species, and internal parasites in Pennsylvania wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Active surveillance of parasites and pathogens was conducted over four years and four regions across ...
