Epidemiology of parasitic protozoan infections in Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) on St Kilda [PDF]
The feral Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) population on Hirta, St Kilda, is host to a diverse component parasite community, but previous parasitological studies of the population have only focussed on the metazoan species.

Phylogenetic relationships of 52 Eimeria species based on COI sequences
Coccidiosis is an important protozoan disease of domestic animals, which frequently presents as simultaneous infections with multiple Eimeria species, however the relationships of Eimeria species are not clear at present.

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

The aromatic amino acid hydroxylase genes AAH1 and AAH2 in Toxoplasma gondii contribute to transmission in the cat [PDF]
The Toxoplasma gondii genome contains two aromatic amino acid hydroxylase genes, AAH1 and AAH2 encode proteins that produce L-DOPA, which can serve as a precursor of catecholamine neurotransmitters.
