Transient transfection of Cryptosporidium parvum using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite that infects a variety of mammals. The parasite has been shown to harbor a dsRNA virus (CPV) and in the present study, we have developed a CPV transient transfection system for this parasite by using green ...

STAG Priming Preserves Paneth Cells and Limits Parasite‐Triggered Ileitis

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Preservation of Paneth cells is associated with resistance to ileitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. ABSTRACT Toxoplasma gondii triggered ileitis is a commonly used model for diseases affecting the small intestine, such as Crohn's Disease. Inflammation is primarily dependent on Th1‐mediated killing of Paneth cells, which consequently promotes intestinal ...

Lymphocystis Disease in Endemic Aotearoa New Zealand Bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 12, December 2026.
ABSTRACT We detected lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) for the first time in an Aotearoa New Zealand freshwater environment, from an individual common bully, toitoi, Gobiomorphus cotidianus (Eleotridae). Dinah's bully, Gobiomorphus dinae, and Kaharore bully, Gobiomorphus mataraerore, also exhibited gross nodular lesions on the fins but were not sampled.

Metazoan-protozoan parasite co-infections and host body weight in St Kilda Soay sheep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
For hundreds of years, the unmanaged Soay sheep population on St Kilda has survived despite enduring presumably deleterious co-infections of helminth, protozoan and arthropod parasites and intermittent periods of starvation.

Francisella orientalis in Aquacultured Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.): A Case Work‐Up of Diagnostics and Pathologic Findings in the North Central Region (USA)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is an increasingly popular aquacultured fish worldwide. While tilapia enjoy a ‘hardy‐fish’ reputation among fish farmers, they are susceptible to a variety of infectious diseases that can be difficult to recognize pondside and have similarities in their gross presentations. This report describes gross and microscopic

Comparison of coproparasitological diagnoses in cats: evaluation of techniques and their combinations

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To compare the Willis, Sheather, Faust, Ritchie and spontaneous sedimentation techniques, as well as their combinations, for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic and semi‐domesticated felines. Materials and Methods Coproparasitological analyses were conducted on domestic cats of both sexes and all age groups, including ...

Neutrophils Cast Extracellular Traps in Response to Protozoan Parasites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Release of extracellular traps by neutrophils is a now well-established phenomenon that contributes to the innate response to extracellular bacterial and fungal pathogens.

Microbiome‐Dependent Modulation of Trichomonas vaginalis Cytotoxicity and Remodeling of the Parasite Secretome

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that vaginal bacteria can either suppress or amplify the pathogenic behavior of the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. A protective Lactobacillus‐dominated microbiome in eubiosis reduces parasite‐induced damage, whereas dysbiotic bacteria enhance cytotoxicity, followed by changes in the profile of the parasite's secreted proteins.

Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in natural Leishmania populations vary with genetic background [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The evolution of drug-resistance in pathogens is a major global health threat. Elucidating the molecular basis of pathogen drug-resistance has been the focus of many studies but rarely is it known whether a drug-resistance mechanism identified is ...

Hsp90 and associates shaping parasite biology

open access: yesmSphere
Hsp90 is considered to be the master regulator of chaperone activity within the cellular context. In addition to aiding client maturation and maintaining protein homeostasis, Hsp90 serves various non-canonical functions in model eukaryotes: ranging from ...
