Prevalence and intensity of coccidian blood parasite infection in three species of lizards from Markazi Province, Iran

open access: yesیافته‌های نوین در علوم زیستی, 2021
Coccidian (Apicomplexa: Coccidia) parasites have been reported in almost all groups of vertebrates. These parasites may cause serious ecological and pathological effects to their hosts.

Fatal Sarcocystis falcatula Infection in Three Penguins

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Sarcocystis falcatula is a well-known cause of fatal pneumonia in some birds, particularly Old World psittacines. Here we describe fatal sarcosystosis due to S.

Where, When, and How? Integrating Spatiotemporal Cues in Cell Division

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis depends on the spatial and temporal regulation of spindle assembly, kinetochore‐microtubule attachment, and checkpoint signaling. Here, we highlight how mitotic chromosomes can serve as dynamic hubs that integrate molecular cues to coordinate spindle organization and timing, ensuring faithful genome ...

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Are Colpodella Species Pathogenic? Nutrient Uptake and Approaches to Diagnose Infections

open access: yesPathogens
Colpodella species are free-living protists phylogenetically related to apicomplexans. Colpodella sp. have been detected in human and animal tissues, as well as in ticks and biting flies.

Environmental Gradients and Ecological Processes Are Main Drivers of Eukaryotic Diversity in the Eastern Red Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Across 266 water column samples, COI eDNA metabarcoding detected 4298 eukaryotic MOTUs spanning 40 phyla in the Eastern Red Sea. Community composition varied strongly across depth and regions, revealing hidden biodiversity patterns and providing a baseline for conservation‐oriented monitoring in a future‐ocean analogue.

Prokaryotic ancestry and gene fusion of a dual localized peroxiredoxin in malaria parasites

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2015
Horizontal gene transfer has emerged as a crucial driving force for the evolution of eukaryotes. This also includes Plasmodium falciparum and related economically and clinically relevant apicomplexan parasites, whose rather small genomes have been shaped

Repurposing of conserved autophagy-related protein ATG8 in a divergent eukaryote

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Toxoplasma gondii and other apicomplexan parasites contain a peculiar non-photosynthetic plastid called the apicoplast, which is essential for their survival.

Clinical, laboratory and epidemiological aspects of Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis infection: a integrative review [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis infection causes cryptosporidiosis, which in humans can result in watery diarrhea that is usually self-limited in immunocompetent individuals, but can be chronic and fatal in immunocompromised ...
