High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

DNA Topoisomerase as Drug Target in unicellular protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani

INDIAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND ALLIED SCIENCES, 2022
Visceral leishmaniasis or Kala-Azar is a neglected tropical disease caused by the unicellular kinetoplastid parasite Leishmania donovani.The treatments available have various shortcomings like toxicity and high cost. The development of resistance in the strains makes thetreatment less effective. Hence, there is a need for new and better treatments. DNA

Turnip mosaic virus utilizes the lipid droplet biogenesis machinery to facilitate its propagation in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Potyvirus turnip mosaic virus induces neutral lipid accumulation and lipid droplet biogenesis in infected leaves for its own benefit. Summary Lipid droplets (LDs), which are dedicated to storing neutral lipids (NLs), are dynamic organelles involved in numerous other functions, including membrane remodeling during abiotic stress.

DNA typing of the human small intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia

, 1995
PhDAt present there is no satisfactory means of typing strains of Giardia lamblia which can explain the broad range of clinical symptoms seen in giardiasis or which can identify genotypes in epidemiological studies.

Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in natural Leishmania populations vary with genetic background [PDF]

, 2012
The evolution of drug-resistance in pathogens is a major global health threat. Elucidating the molecular basis of pathogen drug-resistance has been the focus of many studies but rarely is it known whether a drug-resistance mechanism identified is ...

Leishmania major chromosomes are replicated from a single high-efficiency locus supplemented by thousands of lower efficiency initiation events

Cell Reports
Summary: DNA replication initiates at genome sites termed origins. Previous origin mapping approaches in the populations of the protozoan parasite Leishmania major were discordant, suggesting either a single origin per chromosome or 200-fold more origins.

Evaluation of the antileishmanial potency, toxicity and phytochemical constituents of methanol bark extract of Sterculia villosa

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2017
Context: Visceral leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease caused by Leishmania donovani parasite. The genus Sterculia (Malvaceae) possesses ethnobotanical potential against this protozoan infection. Objective: Determining the potential role of methanol bark

From Infection to Anxiety: A Sequential Model Linking Latent Toxoplasmosis to Psychological Distress via Health and Stress

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...
