Diversity of the Amoebozoa and Ciliophora Groups in Non-Human Primates Kept Ex Situ and in Their Handlers in Different Institutions in Brazil [PDF]
PathogensParasitic infections in non-human primates (NHPs) kept ex situ can be caused by zoonotic protists like Balantioides coli and Entamoeba histolytica. In Brazil, little is known about these infections in neotropical species.

Annual variation of in situ sedimentation of planktonic Ciliophora cysts in a temperate bay
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Marine planktonic Ciliophora serve as a key component of the plankton food web. The formation of cysts is of common occurrence among planktonic Ciliophora, and encystment plays an important role in the persistence and diffusion of population.

Intraspecies Variation in Tetrahymena rostrata
Microorganisms, 2021 Two distinct isolates of the facultative parasite, Tetrahymena rostrata were compared, identifying and utilising markers that are useful for studying clonal variation within the species were identified and utilised. The sequences of mitochondrial genomes

Towards quantitative metabarcoding of eukaryotic plankton: an approach to improve 18S rRNA gene copy number bias [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2022 Plankton metabarcoding is increasingly implemented in marine ecosystem assessments and is more cost-efficient and less time-consuming than monitoring based on microscopy (morphological).

Galvanotaxis of ciliates: spatiotemporal dynamics of Coleps hirtus under electric fields
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Galvanotaxis describes the functional response of organisms to electric fields. In ciliates, the electric field influences the electrophysiology, and thus, the cilia beat dynamics. This leads to a change of the swimming direction toward the cathode.

The mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena rostrata
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Tetrahymena rostrata is a ciliated protist which can parasitize the gray field slug, Deroceras reticulatum. Here, we report the sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mt genome) of a strain of T. rostrata that was isolated from the egg of D.
