Overview of DNA Repair in Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania major [PDF]

Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010
A wide variety of DNA lesions arise due to environmental agents, normal cellular metabolism, or intrinsic weaknesses in the chemical bonds of DNA. Diverse cellular mechanisms have evolved to maintain genome stability, including mechanisms to repair ...

No Trace of Blastocystis Parasite in Bats Caught in the Western and Southwestern Regions of Iran. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Despite screening 115 bats across four dominant species (Miniopterus pallidus, Myotis blythii, Rhinopoma microphyllum, and Rhinolophus euryale) from five caves in western and southwestern Iran using PCR, no evidence of Blastocystis infection was found, suggesting these bats are not current reservoirs for this parasite in this region.

DNA typing of the human small intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia [PDF]

, 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 Detection and Characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in Domestic Animals and Wildlife in Thailand With a Focus on Zoonotic Potential. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis were investigated using molecular methods in domestic animals and wildlife in Thailand. Cryptosporidium scrofarum was the only species identified in 12 PCR‐positive pig samples, while zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblage B and livestock‐specific assemblage E were detected in pigs. Co‐infection with C.

Molecular Survey of Meat-Borne Zoonotic Protozoa in Food Animals and Poultry in Bangladesh. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Molecular surveillance of 236 meat samples detected T. gondii in 7.0% of goats and 2.08% of chickens; Sarcocystis spp. in 45.9% of cattle, 62.3% of goats, and 4.17% of chickens; and N. caninum in 25.7%, 28.9% and 16.7% of cattle, goat, and chicken samples, respectively. Infection was associated with rearing system, health status and age.

Protozoan-Priming and Magnesium Conditioning Enhance Legionella pneumophila Dissemination and Monochloramine Resistance

, 2023
Opportunistic pathogens (OPs) are of concern in drinking water distribution systems because they persist despite disinfectant residuals. While many OPs garner protection from disinfectants via a biofilm lifestyle, Legionella pneumophila (Lp) also gains ...

Protozoan-induced regulation of cyclic lipopeptide biosynthesis Is an effective predation defense mechanism for Pseudomonas fluorescens [PDF]

, 2009
Environmental bacteria are exposed to a myriad of biotic interactions that influence their function and survival. The grazing activity of protozoan predators significantly impacts the dynamics, diversification, and evolution of bacterial communities in ...

Evolution of apoptosis-like programmed cell death in unicellular protozoan parasites [PDF]

, 2011
Apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD) has recently been described in multiple taxa of unicellular protists, including the protozoan parasites Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Leishmania.

Application of next generation sequencing for detection of protozoan pathogens in shellfish

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2020
Food and waterborne protozoan pathogens can cause serious disease in people. Three common species Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia enterica and Toxoplasma gondii can contaminate diverse shellfish species, including commercial oysters.

Detection of Babesia bigemina infection: use of a DNA probe - a review

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
The development of a repetitive DNA probe for Babesia bigemina was reviewed. The original plasmid (p(Bbi)16) contained an insert of B. bigemina DNA of approximately 6.3 kb.
