Cytauxzoon felis cytochrome b gene mutation associated with atovaquone and azithromycin treatment. [PDF]

J Vet Intern Med, 2020
Abstract Background Atovaquone and azithromycin (A&A) with supportive care improve survival rates in cats with cytauxzoonosis. Resistance to atovaquone via parasite cytochrome b gene (cytb) mutations occurs in other Apicomplexan protozoans but is not described in Cytauxzoon felis. Objective To serially characterize the C.

Toxoplasma ceramide synthases: Gene duplication, functional divergence, and roles in parasite fitness

The FASEB Journal, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
The Toxoplasma “pseudo” ceramide synthase (TgCerS2) defines a novel apicomplexan class of these essential enzymes. Abstract Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular apicomplexan protozoan parasite of both humans and animals that can cause fetal damage and abortion and severe disease in the immunosuppressed.

An epidemiological study in wild carnivores from Spanish Mediterranean ecosystems reveals association between Leishmania infantum, Babesia spp. and Hepatozoon spp. infection and new hosts for Hepatozoon martis, Hepatozoon canis and Sarcocystis spp.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 2110-2125, July 2022., 2022
Abstract The aetiology and epidemiology of vector borne apicomplexan Babesia and Hepatozoon and kinetoplastid Leishmania infantum infections in wildlife have not been explored in wide areas of southern Spain. We investigated these infections in 151 wild carnivores, including foxes, badgers, beech martens, hedgehogs, wild cats, Egyptian mongooses ...
