Neutrophils Cast Extracellular Traps in Response to Protozoan Parasites

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
Release of extracellular traps by neutrophils is a now well-established phenomenon that contributes to the innate response to extracellular bacterial and fungal pathogens.

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 ...

Kinetoplast DNA‐aggregating proteins from the parasitic protozoan Crithidia fasciculata

FEBS Letters, 1990
Proteins from C. fasciculata, which preferentially aggregate the parasite's AT‐rich mitochondrial (kinetoplast) DNA in vitro, are reported. The aggregation is non‐topological, non‐covalent, independent of Mg2+ and ATP, but much improved by spennidine. We discuss how these proteins might modulate the shape and size of the parasite's mitochondrial genome.

Blastocystis Sp: a Neglected Zoonotic Protozoan [PDF]

The significance of Blastocystis as a cause of human and animal disease remains unknown. It has been suggested that the organism is zoonotic. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of Blastocystis sp in stray dogs, which may be ...

Clonal diversity of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene in Giardia duodenalis from Thai Isolates: evidence of genetic exchange or Mixed Infections?

, 2011
Background: The glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdh) is one of the most popular and useful genetic markers for the genotypic analysis of Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. intestinalis), the protozoan that widely causes enteric disease in humans.

Crystal structure of Plasmodium vivax macrophage migration inhibitory factor

Acta Crystallographica Section F, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 194-200, June 2026.
The production, crystallization and 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of macrophage migratory inhibitory factor from P. vivax are reported.Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of malaria globally and has recently been transmitted locally in the USA. P. vivax produces homologs of host proteins, including cytokines such as macrophage migration inhibitory ...

Sex ratios in the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi [PDF]

, 2003
The sex ratios of malaria and related Apicomplexan parasites play a major role in transmission success. Here, we address 2 fundamental issues in the sex ratios of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi.

Disease‐associated mortality drives reduction in Yukon River Chinook salmon escapement: A novel method for quantifying the negative impacts of ‘misfit’ parasites to improve fisheries management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game is implementing an annual monitoring program at the mouth of the Yukon River where our model will estimate the proportion of Chinook salmon at risk from parasite‐induced mortality to inform annual management. Moreover, the model is broadly applicable to other fungal‐like and myxozoan parasites of conservation concern,
