International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 The phylum Arthropoda comprises approximately 85% of all described animal species. The class Arachnida includes some invertebrates of great importance as they are either involved in the transmission of diseases or poses a risk of human envenomation ...

Insights into the phylogeny of the ciliate of class Colpodea based on multigene data
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In the class Colpodea, there are many unresolved evolutionary relationships among taxa. Here, we report 30 new sequences including SSU‐rRNA, ITS1‐5.8S‐ ITS2 rRNA, and the mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal RNA (mtSSU‐rRNA) genes of five colpodeans ...

The ciliate protozoan Colpoda cucullus can improve maize growth by transporting soil phosphates
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022 Little is known regarding the ability of protozoans to transfer phosphates and improve maize growth. The objective of this study was to determine whether Colpoda cucullus could improve the maize phosphorus (P) level by transferring phosphate.

Identification of protozoa in dairy lagoon wastewater that consume Escherichia coli O157:H7 preferentially. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EcO157), an agent of life threatening hemolytic-uremic syndrome, resides in ruminants and is released in feces at numbers as high as 10 million cells/gram. EcO157 could survive in manure for as long as 21 months, but we observed

Acta Protozoologica, 2021 We found that the water-rich (osmolality below 0.052 Osm/l) wet resting cysts of the soil ciliate Colpoda cucullus Nag-1 were tolerant to extremely low temperature (−65℃).

A Case of Ciliate Protozoa Colpoda Spp. (Ciliata: Colpodidae) Detected In Human Urine [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2011 In the urine of a patient with chronic prostatitis, renal microlithiasis and acute cystitis we found the ciliate protozoa Colpoda spp., both in vegetative and cystic form. The entry point was most likely the urinary tract.

EF-1α silencing by feeding RNAi suppresses resting cyst formation in Colpoda cucullus Nag-1 strain [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2016 It is reported that the expression level of EF-1α in Colpoda cucullus Nag-1 is markedly enhanced within several hours after the onset of encystment induction. In this study, the Colpoda strain (stock EQ-1) known to promptly encyst also showed early EF-1α

ATP accumulation in early resting cyst formation towards cryptobiosis in Colpoda cucullus
Acta Protozoologica, 2023 Resting cyst formation is a crucial process of cryptobiosis in protists. In colpodid ciliates, cyst formation is accompanied by large-scale morphological changes such as changes of cell shape ...
