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

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Feline 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

Simultaneous Ribosome Profiling of Human Host Cells Infected with Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesmSphere, 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 ...

A myzozoan-specific protein is an essential membrane-anchoring component of the succinate dehydrogenase complex in Toxoplasma parasites

open access: yesOpen Biology
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a protein complex that functions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain of mitochondria. In most eukaryotes, SDH is highly conserved and comprises the following four subunits: SdhA and SdhB form ...

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

open access: yesZoonotic 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

open access: yesEcology 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
