Genomic Variation among Strains of
mSphere, 2019 In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the genomes of 40 strains, in addition to the already-reported two type strains, of two Crithidia species infecting bumblebees in Alaska and Central Europe and demonstrated that different strains of Crithidia ...

Case series: Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease with diagnostic overlap
Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self‐limiting necrotizing lymphadenitis that poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with tuberculosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and malignancy. We present four cases highlighting distinct diagnostic complexities: KFD mimicking tuberculosis with concomitant latent TB infection and ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Infection of a mammal by monogenetic insect trypanosomatids (Kinetoplastida, trypanosomatidae)
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1988 Monogenetic insect trypanosomatids of the genera Crithidia, Leptomonas and Herpetomonas, multiplied as in axenic cultures, for many months, in the lumen of the scent glands of the opossum Didelphis marsupialis.

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

A draft genome of the honey bee trypanosomatid parasite Crithidia mellificae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Since 2006, honey bee colonies in North America and Europe have experienced increased annual mortality. These losses correlate with increased pathogen incidence and abundance, though no single etiologic agent has been identified.
