A time-resolved multi-omics atlas of Acanthamoeba castellanii encystment

Nature Communications, 2022
Encystment is a process that allows free-living and parasitic amoebae to survive in unfavorable environments. Here, Bernard et al. provide detailed insights into the early stages of encystment of Acanthamoeba castellanii by integrating RNA-Seq ...

Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of ‘gros‐gris’ snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms.

Occurrence of free-living amoebae in communities of low and high endemicity for Buruli ulcer in southern Benin

, 2008
Buruli ulcer or Mycobacterium ulcerans disease occurs mainly in areas in proximity to standing or slowly running freshwater, habitats in which free-living amoebae occur. For this reason, a possible link between the habitat of M.

Bacterial discrimination by dictyostelid amoebae reveals the complexity of ancient interspecies interactions [PDF]

, 2013
Background Amoebae and bacteria interact within predator-prey and host-pathogen relationships, but the general response of amoeba to bacteria is not well understood.

Microeukaryotic Diversity and Habitat Structuring in a Desiccating Alkaline Maar Lake (Central Mexico)

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Microeukaryotes are important components of microbial food webs in saline and alkaline lakes, yet their diversity and distribution across distinct microhabitats remain poorly understood. We characterized microeukaryotic communities associated with microbialites, microbial mats, hypersaline waters, and sediments in the desiccating maar lake ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
