Diplostomum‐Induced Sac Formation in Lenses of Ameiurus Bullheads: A Host Defence Response?
Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trematodes of the genus Diplostomum (Diplostomidae) are widely distributed and significant fish pathogens known for causing a range of negative effects. Any mechanism that protects the host from the parasite thus represents an evolutionary advantage.

A target repurposing approach identifies N-myristoyltransferase as a new candidate drug target in filarial nematodes [PDF]
, 2014 Myristoylation is a lipid modification involving the addition of a 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristic acid, to the N-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a modification that promotes their binding to cell membranes for varied biological ...

Dad's legacy: Epigenetic reprogramming and paternal inflammatory memory in offspring health
Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Over the past decade, numerous reports have highlighted intergenerational and even transgenerational epigenetic effects resulting from parental exposure to diets, toxins, and stress. In many cases, these parentally induced phenotypes do not seem to confer an obvious benefit, making it challenging to understand the evolutionary drivers behind ...

Molecular confirmation of Sarcocystis fayeri in a donkey [PDF]
, 2017 Sarcocystis fayeri is a canine protozoan parasite with an equine intermediate host. Historically classified as an incidental pathogen, recent literature has described the toxic effects of Sarcocystis fayeri in human food poisoning, and highlighted ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in comparison to highly sexually dimorphic organisms. However, monomorphism in classic visible traits could be a result of genetic or physiological constraints that prevent ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive.

Differential use of multiple replication origins in the ribosomal DNA episome of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2003 The factors that control the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication from defined origins (oris) on the chromosome remain incompletely resolved. Here we show that the circular rDNA episome of the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica contains multiple potential oris, which are utilized in a differential manner.

Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,
