Introduction of plasmid DNA into the trypanosomatid protozoan Crithidia fasciculata. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986 Crithidia fasciculata cells were treated with a plasmid (pDK96) containing pBR322 sequences, a Leishmania tarentolae maxicircle autonomously replicating sequence, and the bacterial gene for aminoglycoside 3' phosphotransferase I inserted between the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase 1 promotor and terminator sequences.

Homologous Recombination in Protozoan Parasites and Recombinase Inhibitors
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Homologous recombination (HR) is a DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that utilizes a homologous template to fully repair the damaged DNA. HR is critical to maintain genome stability and to ensure genetic diversity during meiosis. A specialized

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.

An unusually compact ribosomal DNA repeat in the protozoanGiardia lamblia [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1987 The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia have been analyzed with respect to size, composition and copy number. They are found to be remarkable in several respects. First, the rRNAs themselves are the smallest yet reported for any eukaryotic organism.
