Using Entamoeba muris To Model Fecal-Oral Transmission of Entamoeba in Mice

mBio, 2023
There are several Entamoeba species that colonize humans, but only Entamoeba histolytica causes severe disease. E. histolytica is transmitted through the fecal-oral route to colonize the intestinal tract of 50 million people worldwide.

Apparent lack of spill-over of parasites from an invasive anuran: PCR detects Entamoeba in cane toads (Rhinella marina) but not in sympatric Australian native frogs

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The recent detection of a novel amoebozoan parasite (Entamoeba sp. CT1) killing invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) in tropical Australia raises concerns of potential spill-over into native anuran populations.

16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 8, Page 1913-1932, August 2026.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.
