Determinants and Impact of Giardia Infection in the First 2 Years of Life in the MAL-ED Birth Cohort

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2017
Summary In a multisite birth-cohort study, Giardia spp were detected by enzyme immunoassay at least once in two-thirds of the children. Early persistent infection with Giardia, independent of diarrhea, was associated with deficits in both weight and ...

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

Epidemiology of parasitic protozoan infections in Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) on St Kilda [PDF]

, 2006
The feral Soay sheep (Ovis aries L.) population on Hirta, St Kilda, is host to a diverse component parasite community, but previous parasitological studies of the population have only focussed on the metazoan species.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Molecular epidemiology of waterborne zoonoses in the North Island of New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Science (Epidemiology and Public Health) at Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences (IVABS), Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium and Giardia species are three important waterborne zoonotic pathogens of global public health concern. This PhD opens with an interpretive overview of the literature on Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium and Giardia spp.

Management of Haws Syndrome in Cats With Gastrointestinal Diet: A Case Series

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Haws syndrome (HS) in cats is characterized by bilateral protrusion of the third eyelid and ptosis, often accompanied by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as diarrhea. Emerging evidence suggests disruption of the gut‐brain axis, linked to GI microbiota dysbiosis, may play a role in HS development.

Detection of cryptosporidium oocysts in water and environmental concentrates [PDF]

, 1997
Whilst current methods for the isolation and enumeration of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in water have provided some insight into their occurrence and significance, they are regarded as being inefficient, variable and time-consuming, with much of the ...
