Lankesterella and Isospora Coccidians: Differences in Host Specificity of Blood Parasites in Passerines [PDF]

Microorganisms
Parasitic protozoa such as Lankesterella and Isospora are common in avian hosts, particularly in passerines. Despite their high prevalence, the diversity of these parasites within avian populations remains poorly understood.

Mitochondrial Gene Diversity and Host Specificity of Isospora in Passerine Birds

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Isospora infections are common in both wild and captive passerine species. Many bird species have been shown to have co-evolved with a particular species of Isospora.

A new Isospora species (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Taiwan Blue Magpie (Urocissa caerulea) (Passeriformes: Corvidae) with the first complete corvid coccidian mitogenome [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Passerine birds are highly susceptible to Isospora infections, yet the coccidian fauna of endemic Taiwanese avifauna remains largely unexplored. Here, we describe Isospora kwongchungi n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the Taiwan Blue Magpie (Urocissa

An <i>Isospora</i> Species (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) Identified From a Black-Faced Cuckoo-Shrike (<i>Coracina novaehollandiae</i>) (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Campephagidae) in Western Australia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Description of Isospora coracinae n. sp. from a Black‐faced cuckoo‐shrike Coracina novaehollandiae. Morphology study: Unique. Genetic similarities: 98.8%, 93.7%, and 98.9% match to I. neochmiae for the 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, and COI loci, respectively.

Early Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder and Cryptosporidiosis After Liver Transplantation. [PDF]

Case Rep Med
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare yet potentially fatal complication following liver transplantation. This condition is usually associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection and profound immunosuppression. In this report, a young woman is introduced who had undergone liver transplantation due to autoimmune hepatitis and ...

Omeprazole as a Novel Treatment Option for Giardiasis in Cats. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
In this study, cats with giardiasis were allocated to omeprazole, metronidazole, secnidazole or placebo groups and monitored from day 0 to 14. Omeprazole achieved a reduction in Giardia cyst shedding comparable to metronidazole and also demonstrated faster clinical improvement, indicating a potential therapeutic advantage.
