Leishmania tropica (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) - a perplexing parasite [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2003 Leishmania tropica is one of the causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a disfiguring parasitic disease that recently was found to be viscerotropic. In urban areas it is transmitted from infected individuals by the bite of phlebotomine sand flies to naïve persons (anthroponotic CL). In rural areas animals are thought to be the reservoir, but

Urban landscapes tend to increase the presence of pathogenic protozoa, microsporidia and viruses, but likely decrease the abundance of viruses in wild bees and wasps. [PDF]
Insect Sci• The bees Anthophora plumipes and Osmia cornuta had a higher occurrence probability of the neogregarine protozoan Apicystis bombi in more fragmented urban areas.• In the bee Halictus scabiosae and wasp Polistes dominula, hotter urban areas increased the likelihood of occurrence of viruses.• The viruses were found to be replicative in the samples, and ...

Synthetic biology tools for engineering Goodwin oscillation in Trypanosoma brucei brucei
Heliyon, 2022 Kinetoplastid protozoa possess properties that are highly divergent from the mammalian, yeast and bacterial cells more commonly used in synthetic biology and represent a tantalisingly untapped source of bioengineering potential. Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Chromosomes of kinetoplastida. [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1984 We have compared chromosome-sized DNA molecules (molecular karyotypes) of five genera (nine species) of kinetoplastida after cell lysis and deproteinization of DNA in agarose blocks and size fractionation of the intact DNA molecules by pulsed field gradient (PFG) gel electrophoresis.
