The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.

Respiratory Pigments of Crithidia fasciculata [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1968 Mitochondria were isolated from the heme-requiring insect trypanosomatid, Crithidia fasciculata , which had respiratory activity, showed a P/O ratio with succinate of 0.5 to 1.0, and contained 40 to 50% of the heme a and heme c found in the intact cells. Cytochromes

Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Trypanosomatid parasites are widely distributed in nature and can have a monoxenous or dixenous life-cycle. These parasites thrive in a wide number of insect orders, some of which have an important economic and environmental value, such as ...

Differential expression of immune defences is associated with specific host-parasite interactions in insects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Recent ecological studies in invertebrates show that the outcome of an infection is dependent on the specific pairing of host and parasite. Such specificity contrasts the long-held view that invertebrate innate immunity depends on a broad-spectrum ...

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

Resource supplementation later in the colony cycle improves real‐world bumblebee colony survival
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Our findings suggest that B. terrestris colonies became food‐limited towards the end of their colony cycle in early summer. We suggest ecological intensification through planting native wildflower species may be more effective if it targets this flowering period, particularly within heavily arable areas, and that a staggered patchwork of mowing or ...

Case Reports in Immunology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease in which environmental and medication‐related exposures may precipitate disease onset or flares in susceptible individuals, which can result in lupus nephritis (LN) and, in rare cases, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

Fresh insights into the pyrimidine metabolism in the trypanosomatids
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 The trypanosomatid parasites continue their killing spree resulting in significant annual mortality due to the lack of effective treatments and the prominence of these diseases in poorer countries.
