Babesia gibsoni Whole-Genome Sequencing, Assembling, Annotation, and Comparative Analysis
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The intracellular protozoan parasite Babesia gibsoni infects canine erythrocytes and causes babesiosis. The hazards to animal health have increased due to the rise of B. gibsoni infections and medication resistance. However, the lack of high-quality full-

piRNA pathway evolution beyond gonad context: Perspectives from apicomplexa and trypanosomatids
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 piRNAs function as genome defense mechanisms against transposable elements insertions within germ line cells. Recent studies have unraveled that piRNA pathways are not limited to germ cells as initially reckoned, but are instead also found in non-gonadal

CysQ of , a Protozoa, May Have Been Acquired from Bacteria by Horizontal Gene Transfer [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2012 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material between kingdoms and is considered to play a positive role in adaptation. Cryptosporidium parvum is a parasitic protozoan that causes an infectious disease. Its genome sequencing reported

Are protozoan metacaspases potential parasite killers?
Parasites & Vectors, 2011 Mechanisms concerning life or death decisions in protozoan parasites are still imperfectly understood. Comparison with higher eukaryotes has led to the hypothesis that caspase-like enzymes could be involved in death pathways.
