Molecular diagnosis of Emmonsia-like fungi occurring in wild animals
Using specific primers based on the ribosomal operon, positive DNA amplification was obtained from lungs of 11/215 tested small burrowing animals, both terrestrial and aquatic, and including frozen (n = 4) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (n = 7 ...

Emmonsia crescens infection in a British water vole (Arvicola terrestris)
Emmonsia crescens, a dimorphic fungus of the order Onygenales, is primarily a pathogen of lower animals and rarely humans. Inhaled conidia of E. crescens fail to germinate in the lungs, and instead simply enlarge in lung tissue to become giant adiaspores.

CD8+ T-cell responses to Theileria parva are preferentially directed to a single dominant antigen:Implications for parasite strain-specific immunity [PDF]
Although immunodominance of CD8(+) T-cell responses is a well-recognised feature of viral infections, its role in responses to more antigenically complex pathogens is less clear.

The Nitrogen Nutrition of Emmonsia (Moniliales, Aleurismaceae) [PDF]
The questions posed in this research concerned both the comparison of the nitrogen nutrition between Emmonsia parva and Emmonsia crescens and the comparative nitrogen utilization within the species.

Absolute quantification of the host-to-parasite DNA ratio in Theileria parva-infected lymphocyte cell lines [PDF]
Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular apicomplexan pathogen of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa that causes East Coast fever (ECF). ECF is an acute fatal disease that kills over one million cattle annually, imposing a tremendous burden on ...

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

Prevalence and spatial distribution of Theileria parva in cattle under crop-livestock farming systems in Tororo District, Eastern Uganda [PDF]
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) present a major economic burden to communities across East Africa. Farmers in East Africa must use acaracides to target ticks and prevent transmission of tick-borne diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, cowdriosis and ...
