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 ...

More surprises from Kinetoplastida [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Protozoan parasites of the order Kinetoplastida include various species of the genera Leishmania and Trypanosoma that are responsible for substantial human morbidity and mortality in the tropics. Pathogenic Leishmania species cause a diverse group of diseases, collectively called leishmaniasis, that range in severity from spontaneously healing skin ...

Phylogeny of the kinetoplastida: taxonomic problems and insights into the evolution of parasitism
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 To further investigate phylogeny of kinetoplastid protozoa, the sequences of small subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA of nine bodonid isolates and ten isolates of insect trypanosomatids have been determined.

Mitogenome sequence of a Black Sea isolate of the kinetoplastid Bodo saltans
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 We obtained the mitogenome sequence of a Black Sea isolate of the kinetoplastid Bodo saltans. This sequence consists of two contigs totaling 24,925 bp and encodes ten protein-coding genes, one conserved ORF and one rRNA gene.
