Next-Generation Technologies and Systems Biology for the Design of Novel Vaccines Against Apicomplexan Parasites

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa are the causative agents of important diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis or cryptosporidiosis in humans, and babesiosis and coccidiosis in animals.

Public Health Implications of Latent Toxoplasmosis and Its Association With Type 2 Diabetes: A Case–Control Study in Qazvin, North‐Western Iran

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide‐distributed zoonotic parasite, causing latent infections in humans. Increasing evidence has suggested a possible link between toxoplasmosis and diabetes mellitus (DM), though data from Iran are limited. This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of latent T.

Assessment of Toxoplasma gondii lytic cycle and the impact of a gene deletion using 3D label-free optical diffraction holotomography

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread single-celled intracellular eukaryotic apicomplexan protozoan parasite primarily associated with mammalian foetal impairment and miscarriage, including in humans.

Metabarcoding and biomass quantification reveal seasonal parasite associations in copepods

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Parasites are important members of ecosystems, and recent metabarcoding efforts have revealed an abundance of microbial eukaryotic parasites in copepods. However, a putative linkage to host community biomass and composition has not been addressed. We performed zooplankton tows monthly for 2 yr at five stations in the Oslofjord, Norway.

Functional Interaction Between Toc75 POTRA1 Domain and Tic22‐III in the Intermembrane Space During Chloroplast Protein Import

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chaperones are essential for facilitating the import of nuclear‐encoded precursor proteins into chloroplasts. In the intermembrane space (IMS) of the chloroplasts, this process is mediated by the transport‐associated domains (POTRA) of the translocon at the outer envelope membrane (Toc75) and translocon at the inner envelope membrane (Tic22 ...

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.

Tickborne Colpodella Species Infections: Time for a New Integrated Approach to Understand Transmission and Pathogenicity

Zoonotic Diseases
Colpodella species are free-living predatory protists that prey on algae, ciliates and bodonids using myzocytosis. Colpodella species have been reported in human and animal infections.

Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
The recent recolonization of Central Europe by the European gray wolf (Canis lupus) provides an opportunity to study the dynamics of parasite transmission for cases when a definitive host returns after a phase of local extinction. We investigated whether

Insights Into Sequences of Viral and Bacterial Origin in the Metatranscriptome of Centaurea cyanus L. Susceptible and Resistant to Acetolactate Synthase (ALS)‐Inhibiting Herbicides

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Metatranscriptomic analysis of Centaurea cyanus revealed diverse plant‐associated viral and bacterial sequences in herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant biotypes. While novel partitiviruses occurred independently of resistance status, differences in bacterial community composition may suggest a potential role of the plant microbiome in responses to ...

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 122-150, February 2026.
Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.
