Intestinal Parasite Community Dynamics in the Critically Endangered Chinese Alligator (<i>Alligator sinensis</i>): Multifactorial Insights From 18S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our results firstly demonstrate the structure of parasite communities in A. sinensis and clarify how they are shaped by interacting ecological and management factors, providing critical baseline data for future research. ABSTRACT The intestinal parasite communities of vertebrates are shaped by complex interactions among biological, environmental, and ...

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.

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.

Spirostomum spp. (Ciliophora, Protista), a suitable system for endocytobiosis research [PDF]

, 2005
: Among ciliate genera, only Paramecium and Euplotes species have been studied extensively as host organisms of bacterial endocytobionts. In this article, we show that members of the genus Spirostomum may also serve as a suitable system for ...

Protistan Plankton Responses to Variable Light and Upwelling in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System: Insights Into Community Dynamics Under Environmental Change. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study reveals (based on experiments) the shifts in protistan plankton communities, serving as energy and organic matter source for higher trophic levels if the Humboldt Current System is affected by climate change as predicted by current models. This may have profound effects on fisheries in the Humboldt Current System.
