"Omic" investigations of protozoa and worms for a deeper understanding of the human gut "parasitome". [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
The human gut has been continuously exposed to a broad spectrum of intestinal organisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites (protozoa and worms), over millions of years of coevolution, and plays a central role in human health.

Standardization of molecular techniques for the detection and characterization of intestinal protozoa and other pathogens in humans

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2022
The intrinsic sensitivity limitations of basic parasitological methods, along with the particular biological characteristics of parasites, make these methods ineffective to differentiate morphologically indistinguishable species. Molecular detection and characterization techniques could be used to overcome these problems.

Interaction between human mucins and parasite glycoproteins: the role of lectins and glycosidases in colonization by intestinal protozoa [PDF]

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2020
Intestinal mucins are the first line of defense against microorganisms. Although knowledge about the mechanisms involved in the establishment of intestinal protozoa is limited, there is evidence that these parasites produce lectin-like molecules and glycosidases, that exert both, constitutive and secretory functions, promoting the establishment of ...
