High Protistan Parasite Occurrence During Fall in a Warm, Low Sea Ice Year in the Eastern Bering Sea

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Marine protists in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) are understudied despite being a critical component of the productive subarctic ecosystem. Climate change, and particularly the loss of sea ice, is rapidly altering this ecologically vulnerable and economically important system.

Genome Sequence of a Divergent Avian Metapneumovirus from a Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). [PDF]

, 2019
Here, we report the coding-complete genome sequence of an avian metapneumovirus from a monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing during an investigation into a disease outbreak in a captive parrot breeding ...

The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We investigate the belowground biogeography of an important yet poorly described group of soil parasites, the Apicomplexa. We found both biotic and abiotic drivers that contribute to shaping the diversity and distribution of dominant Apicomplexa in tropical soil systems.

Infection of Dreissena polymorpha (Bivalvia: Dreissenidae) with Conchophthirus acuminatus (Ciliophora: Conchophthiridae) in lakes of different trophy

BioInvasions Records, 2012
The freshwater invasive mollusc Dreissena polymorpha and its host-specific commensal ciliate Conchophthirus acuminatus represent a convenient model to study various aspects of symbiotic relationships. This study was conducted to test whether the nutrient enrichment of waterbodies inhabited by D. polymorpha is associated with C.

Metabarcoding Unveils the Diversity and Dynamics of In Situ Diet and Symbionts Associated With Copepods in Chinese Coastal Waters

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Copepods are the key secondary producers in marine ecosystems, yet their in situ diet and symbionts remain underexplored due to technical challenges, limiting our understanding of their population dynamics and ecological functions. Using DNA metabarcoding, we jointly characterised the natural diet and symbionts of copepods across Chinese ...

First Molecular Characterization of the Zoonotic Parasite Balantioides coli in Brachyteles hypoxanthus Wied, 1820 (Primate: Atelidae) in Brazil

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Fecal samples from seven individuals kept in semi‐captivity in Minas Gerais were subjected to microscopic and molecular parasitological techniques. Balantioides coli was identified in all samples with a predominance of an atypical variant. This is the first molecular characterization of B. coli in Brachyteles hypoxanthus in Brazil.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Captive Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758) in Central Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .
