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 ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo-Kept Animals in Spain. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Immune modulation by fish kinetoplastid parasites : a role for nitric oxide [PDF]
, 2002 Trypanoplasma borreli and Trypanosoma carassii are kinetoplastid parasites infecting cyprinid fish. We investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in immune modulation during T. borreli and T. carassii infection of carp.

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.
