A new chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of Cryptosporidium meleagridis
Cryptosporidium spp. are medically and scientifically relevant protozoan parasites that cause severe diarrheal illness in infants, immunosuppressed populations and many animals. Although most human Cryptosporidium infections are caused by C. parvum and C.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Eimeria tenella at the single-oocyst level
Background Eimeria are obligate protozoan parasites, and more than 1,500 species have been reported. However, Eimeria genomes lag behind many other eukaryotes since obtaining many oocysts is difficult due to a lack of sustainable in vitro culture, highly

DNA Repair in Pathogenic Eukaryotic Cells: Insights from Comparative Genomics of Parasitic Protozoan
Numerous external and internal DNA damaging agents can affect genetic material to produce single-strand breaks (SSB), double strand breaks (DSB), interand intra-strand cross-links in the form of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4)-photoproducts, oxidation and alkylation of bases, or formation of bulky chemical adducts.

The genetics and genomics of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi is a kinetoplastid parasite that causes Chagas disease. Trypanosomes are unusual organisms in many aspects of its genetics and molecular and cellular biology and considered a paradigm of the exception of the rule in the eukaryotic ...

Trypanosoma cruzi and Giardia intestinalis are two human pathogens and protozoan parasites responsible for the diseases Chagas disease and giardiasis, respectively. Both diseases cause su ering and illness in several million individuals. The former disease occurs primarily in South America and Central America, and the latter disease occurs worldwide ...
