An Insight into the Proteome of Crithidia fasciculata Choanomastigotes as a Comparative Approach to Axenic Growth, Peanut Lectin Agglutination and Differentiation of Leishmania spp. Promastigotes

PLoS ONE, 2014
The life cycle of the trypanosomatid Crithidia fasciculata is monogenetic, as the unique hosts of these parasites are different species of culicids.

Molecular Characterization of Clinical Leishmania Major Isolates Harboring ITS1 Homology Similar to the One in Crithidia spp.

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2018
Background: Leishmaniasis is caused by the protozoan Leishmania spp. In some loci from Iran, some isolates have ITS1 like the one in Crithidia spp. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed molecular characters of the mentioned isolates.

IDENTIFICACIÓN DEL GEN QUE CODIFICA PARA LA PROTEÍNA KMP-11 DE Crithidia spp.: COMPARACIÓN CON SUS ORTÓLOGOS DE OTROS TRIPANOSOMÁTIDOS

Universitas Scientiarum, 2007
Kinetoplastida order comprises a group of organisms characterized by the presence of extra-nuclear DNAknown as kinetoplast. Within this highly divergent family of protozoa, the trypanosomatids include manygenera of economical and medical interest since ...

An Analysis of the Prevalence of Lotmaria passim, Crithidia mellificae and Nosema Spp. Pathogens of Free-Living Bee Colonies

Journal of Apicultural Science
Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) may inhabit abandoned beehives in trees in the city and forests. Bees that naturally occupy abandoned nests, cavities, or hives are not managed by humans and are not treated for pathogens; consequently, they may be ...

Winter Hive Debris Analysis Is Significant for Assessing the Health Status of Honeybee Colonies (Apis mellifera) [PDF]

Insects
Honeybee diseases are one of the most significant and most common causes of honeybee colonies’ weakness and death. An early diagnosis of subclinical infections is necessary to implement precautionary and control measures. Sampling debris from hive bottom

High infection prevalences by Trypanosoma minasense in non-human primates from the Southeast region of Brazil [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Non-human primates (NHPs) are reported as exclusive hosts of Trypanosoma minasense, whose transmission cycle remains unknown. We investigated trypanosomatid infections in 194 NHPs of nine species from the Brazilian Southeast region.

Multiple and frequent trypanosomatid co-infections of insects: the Cuban case study [PDF]

Parasitology
Trypanosomatids are obligate parasites of animals, predominantly insects and vertebrates, and flowering plants. Monoxenous species, representing the vast majority of trypanosomatid diversity, develop in a single host, whereas dixenous species cycle ...

Sunflower Pollen and Bumble Bee Health: Mechanisms, Modifiers and Trade-Offs. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This review integrates mechanistic evidence and field foraging data to examine how Asteraceae pollen affects Crithidia bombi infection in bumble bees. While laboratory studies show strong antiparasitic effects, field exposure is often limited, revealing a mismatch between efficacy and ecological relevance.

Molecular Diagnostics of the Honey Bee Parasites Lotmaria passim and Crithidia spp. (Trypanosomatidae) Using Multiplex PCR [PDF]

Florida Entomologist, 2016
Summary Lotmaria passim Schwarz (Trypanosomatidae) is a recently described trypanosome parasite of honey bees in the continental United States, Europe, and Japan. We developed a multiplex PCR technique using PCR primers specific for L. passim or Crithidia species to distinguish L. passim from C. mellificae Langridge and McGhee.

Infection by Crithidia bombi increases relative abundance of Lactobacillus spp. in the gut of Bombus terrestris

Molecular Ecology, 2023
AbstractGut microbial communities confer protection against natural pathogens in important pollinators from the genera Bombus and Apis. In commercial species B. terrestris and B. impatiens, the microbiota increases their resistance to the common and virulent trypanosomatid parasite Crithidia bombi.
