Molecular Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in Enclosures of African Primates (Papio papio and Papio hamadryas) at the Municipal Zoo of Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in animals and humans worldwide, attracting the attention of many researchers who, in recent decades, have identified the sources of Toxoplasma gondii infections to optimize the adoption of preventive measures. In previous studies, it has been found that humans are infected mainly

Infectious Diseases Management in Small‐Scale Freshwater Aquaculture in West Africa: Lessons for Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious diseases are an increasing threat to food security, small‐scale livelihoods and the sustainability of aquaculture in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). In sub‐Saharan Africa, aquaculture is expanding rapidly but production systems often remain fragile.

Astrocyte Apoptosis and HIV Replication Are Modulated in Host Cells Coinfected with Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

, 2017
The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease. In immunosuppressed individuals, as it occurs in the coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the central nervous system may be affected. In this regard, reactivation

Prevalence and Associated Factor of Schistosoma Haematobium Among Primary School Children in Dubti City District, Afar, Northeast Ethiopia, 2022. “A Cross‐Sectional Study”

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease causing organ damage and developmental delays in children. Updated data on its distribution is vital for targeted interventions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of Schistosoma haematobium infection among school‐age children in Dubti city ...

Position Effect Takes Precedence Over Target Sequence in Determination of Adenine Methylation Patterns in the Nuclear Genome of a Eukaryote, \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena thermophila\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 1998
Approximately 0.8% of the adenine residues in the macronuclear DNA of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila are modified to N6-methyladenine. DNA methylation is site specific and the pattern of methylation is constant between clonal cell lines ...

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2014
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Enzymes that assemble into filaments typically transition between protomeric and polymeric states in response to cellular conditions. In contrast, the secreted acid phosphatase (SAP) of Leishmania, one of the most abundant extracellular glycoproteins produced by the parasite and regarded as a major virulence factor in the neglected tropical ...

Periacineta mexicana n. sp. (Ciliophora, Suctoria, Discophryida), Epizoic on Mexican Backswimmers of the Genus Buenoa (Insecta, Hemiptera, Notonectidae) [PDF]

, 2010
A new species of suctorian in the genus Periacineta, epibiotic on aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Nepomorpha), is described on the basis of morphological characteristics of the cell body, lorica, tentacular placement, and stalk, and its 18S rRNA ...
