Diversity of the Amoebozoa and Ciliophora Groups in Non-Human Primates Kept Ex Situ and in Their Handlers in Different Institutions in Brazil [PDF]

Pathogens
Parasitic 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.

Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) causes systemic infection of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus and is a senior synonym of Philasterides dicentrarchi [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007
The scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus was isolated from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus showing typical symptoms of ulceration and hemorrhages in skeletal muscle and fins. In an infection experiment, olive flounder (mean length: 14.9 cm; mean weight: 26.8 g) were immersion challenged with 2.0 x 10(3), 2.0 x 10(4) and 2.0 x 10(5) ciliates ml-1 of ...

Genetic Features of the Scuticociliate Pathogen Philaster sp. Isolate FWC2 That Causes Sea Urchin Mass Mortality. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT A scuticociliate most closely related to Philaster apodigitiformis caused mass mortalities of diadematoid sea urchins and was cultured as Philaster sp. isolate FWC2. We sequenced the metagenomic content of this isolate, which was predicted to represent ≤ 56% of the complete genome.

Isolation and Characterisation of Serotype III in Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida) From Olive Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatida, syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) is a significant pathogen causing scuticociliatosis in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea and Japan. In this study, the BB19 strain, isolated from olive flounder, was identified as M.

Trouble in the Tank: A Case Report of Fatal Scuticociliate Encephalitis in a Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon obesus). [PDF]

J Fish Dis
Abstract This case report presents a recent case of scuticociliatosis in a whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus), housed at a zoo (Haus des Meeres Aqua Terra Zoo, Vienna, Austria). Clinical signs such as uncoordinated swimming and body tilt were observed prior to death.

Family-Run Pig Farms: Research and Extension Activities for Parasite Control in a Municipality in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Pathogens, 2022
The parasites infesting pigs and pig farmers on family farms in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil, were analyzed, and extension activities were carried out to impart information about parasites. Between 2020 and 2021, fecal samples were collected from 180 pigs

Distinct, Depth-Stratified Communities of Heterotrophic, Mixotrophic, and Parasitic Dinoflagellates and Ciliates in the Subarctic Northeast Pacific Euphotic Zone. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT Dinoflagellates and ciliates are important grazers of primary production in the Northeast Pacific but knowledge of their taxonomic composition and depth‐distribution is limited. These organisms also display a variety of heterotrophic feeding modes including heterotrophy, mixotrophy, and parasitism.

'Candidatus Megaira polyxenophila' gen. nov., sp. nov.: considerations on evolutionary history, host range and shift of early divergent rickettsiae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
"Neglected Rickettsiaceae" (i.e. those harboured by non-hematophagous eukaryotic hosts) display greater phylogenetic variability and more widespread dispersal than pathogenic ones; yet, the knowledge about their actual host range and host shift mechanism

Efficacy of selected oral chemotherapeutants against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora: Ophyroglenidae) infecting rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2003
The chemotherapeutic efficacy of 6 in-feed compounds against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Fouquet, 1876 was assessed using experimental infections of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) fingerlings. Trial doses of 104 ppm amprolium hydrochloride or 65 ppm clopidol fed to fish for 10 d prior to infection significantly reduced the number of ...

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]

, 2013
Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.
