Using blood donor surveillance and clinical case data to shape our understanding of Babesia epidemiology in Manitoba, Canada

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Babesia is a parasite transmitted by the Ixodes tick and has the potential to be transfusion transmitted. Climate change and changing Ixodes tick distributions in Canada raised questions about the impact of Babesia on the blood supply.

DNA repair mechanisms in eukaryotes: Special focus in Entamoeba histolytica and related protozoan parasites

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2009
Eukaryotic cell viability highly relies on genome stability and DNA integrity maintenance. The cellular response to DNA damage mainly consists of six biological conserved pathways known as homologous recombination repair (HRR), non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and ...

Evaluation of the Cutaneous Immunological Milieu Before and After Treatment With Meglumine Antimoniate in Dogs Naturally Affected by Leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) is a zoonotic disease of variable severity. The typical immune response is driven by an exaggerated humoral immune response. Protective immunity is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines that enhance macrophage leishmanicidal activity. Objective: To evaluate the cutaneous and the systemic immune responses as well

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

Edulitin 2, a Ribotoxin‐Like Protein From Boletus edulis That Triggers Apoptosis in Colon Cancer Cells While Preserving the Integrity of the Intestinal Microbiota

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Edulitin 2 is a ribotoxin‐like protein exhibiting a potent antiproliferative activity towards Caco‐2 and HT29 cells by programmed cell death. However, edulitin 2 does not affect gut microbiota growth, despite damaging fungal ribosomes. ABSTRACT Porcini (Boletus edulis Bull.) are a reservoir of pharmacological biomolecules with health‐promoting ...

Comparison of prevalence and risk factors for faecal carriage of the intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli in four Australian populations [PDF]

, 2006
This study examined the prevalence of the intestinal spirochaetes Brachyspira aalborgi and Brachyspira pilosicoli in different Western Australian (WA) populations. Faecal samples included 287 from rural patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, comprising

Evidence for conservation in antigen gene sequences combined with extensive polymorphism at VNTR loci [PDF]

, 2020
Theileria parva is a tick‐transmitted apicomplexan protozoan parasite that infects lymphocytes of cattle and African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer), causing a frequently fatal disease of cattle in eastern, central and southern Africa.

Successful in vitro propagation of feline coronavirus from clinically diagnosed feline infectious peritonitis cases using Vero cells: A potential model for future research

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Feline coronavirus (FCoV) causes inapparent to progressive fatal feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in domestic and wild cats, which affects multiple‐organ systems. Methods We investigated three clinically sick cats using different laboratory and molecular tests to diagnose and confirm FCoV and propagate the virus in Vero cell ...

Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Metagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...
