Albendazole induces oxidative stress and DNA damage in the parasitic protozoan Giardia duodenalis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The control of Giardia duodenalis infections is carried out mainly by drugs, among these albendazole (ABZ) is commonly used. Although the cytotoxic effect of ABZ usually involves binding to β-tubulin, it has been suggested that oxidative stress may also ...

Protozoan ALKBH8 oxygenases display both DNA repair and tRNA modification activities.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The ALKBH family of Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases comprises enzymes that display sequence homology to AlkB from E. coli, a DNA repair enzyme that uses an oxidative mechanism to dealkylate methyl and etheno adducts on the nucleobases ...

Comparison of two DNA extraction methods for the detection of zoonotic protozoan pathogens in oysters and seawater. [PDF]

Vet Anim Sci
We compared freeze-thaw and bead beating methods for extracting DNA from parasites in oysters and seawater. Bead beating performed better for extracting Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Toxoplasma in seawater, while freeze-thaw yielded comparable or better detection for Cryptosporidium and Giardia in oysters.

A cloth-based hybridization array system for rapid detection of the food- and waterborne protozoan parasites Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2021
Protozoan parasites in food or water samples are generally detected using microscopy or PCR followed by Sanger sequencing. However, microscopy is subjective, requires a high degree of expertise and has limited sensitivity, while DNA sequencing requires ...
