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.

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.

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.

High-resolution genotyping and mapping of recombination and gene conversion in the protozoan Theileria parva using whole genome sequencing [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Theileria parva is a tick-borne protozoan parasite, which causes East Coast Fever, a disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Like Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes a transient diploid life-cycle stage in the gut of the arthropod ...

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.

Discovery of Novel Active Diamidines as Clinical Candidates Against "Trypanosoma Evansi" Infection [PDF]

, 2007
The animal pathogenic protozoan, Trypanosoma evansi, leads to a wasting disease in equines, cattle and camels, commonly known as Surra. It is extensively distributed geographically with a wide range of mammalian hosts and causes great economical loss ...

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.

Expression of EhRAD54, EhRAD51, and EhBLM proteins during DNA repair by homologous recombination in Entamoeba histolytica

Parasite, 2014
Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan responsible for human amoebiasis, exhibits a great genome plasticity that is probably related to homologous recombination events.

The State of Art of Extracellular Traps in Protozoan Infections (Review)

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Protozoan parasite infection causes severe diseases in humans and animals, leading to tremendous economic and medical pressure. Natural immunity is the first line of defence against parasitic infection.
