Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

A full‐length 18S ribosomal DNA metabarcoding approach for determining protist community diversity using Nanopore sequencing

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
A new primer pair combination was used to amplify the full‐length 18S rDNA and its efficacy was validated with a test community. The full‐length sequences obtained with the Nanopore MinION for protist diversity from field samples yielded improved taxonomic resolution when compared with Illumina MiSeq V4 and V8‐V9 short reads. Abstract Protist diversity

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

Microbial‐ and Plant‐Derived Bioactive Peptides and Their Applications against Foodborne Pathogens: Current Status and Future Prospects

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) obtained from plants and microbes have been thoroughly explored and studied due to their prophylactic properties. The use of BAPs seems to be a promising substitute for several currently available antibiotics because of their antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens.
