Melittin as a promising anti-protozoan peptide: current knowledge and future prospects

AMB Express, 2021
Protozoan diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and sleeping sickness still levy a heavy toll on human lives. Deplorably, only few classes of anti-protozoan drugs have thus far been developed. The problem is further compounded by their

Molecular characterization of EhAK6, an endonuclease V domain-containing aurora kinase protein from Entamoeba histolytica: Protein-protein interaction, docking and functional aspect

Current Research in Biotechnology, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica is responsible for amoebiasis in humans. Its atypical cell cycle events and unique stress defense mechanisms make it different from other protozoan parasites.

Sensing DNA methylation in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2006
Summary In the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica , 5‐methylcytosine (m5C) was found predominantly in repetitive elements. Its formation is catalysed by Ehmeth, a DNA methyltransferase that belongs to the Dnmt2 subfamily.

Upscaling the surveillance of tick-borne pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands [PDF]

, 2020
Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

Sequence specificity of DNA adenine methylase in the protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1982
The sequence specificity of the Tetrahymena DNA-adenine methylase was determined by nearest-neighbor analyses of in vivo and in vitro methylated DNA. In vivo all four common bases were found to the 5' side of N6-methyladenine, but only thymidine was 3'. Homologous DNA already methylated in vivo and heterologous Micrococcus luteus DNA were methylated in

DNA analysis of cattle parasitic protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus after photodynamic therapy [PDF]

Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2017
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modality of therapy that involves the activation of photosensitive substances and the generation of cytotoxic oxygen species and free radicals to promote the selective destruction of target tissues. This study analyzed the application of PDT to Tritrichomonas foetus, a scourged and etiological agent of bovine ...

DNA Vaccines against Protozoan Parasites: Advances and Challenges [PDF]

Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2007
Over the past 15 years, DNA vaccines have gone from a scientific curiosity to one of the most dynamic research field and may offer new alternatives for the control of parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis and Chagas disease. We review here some of the advances and challenges for the development of DNA vaccines against these diseases.
