Efficacy of Essential Oils of Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare on Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]

, 2014
The aim of the present work was to determine the in vitro effect of T. vulgaris and O. vulgare essential oils against E. granulosus protoscoleces and cysts. Essential oils were added to the medium resulting in thymol final concentrations of 10 μg/mL. The

Characterization of Allobodo yubaba sp. nov. and Novijibodo darinka gen. et sp. nov., cultivable free‐living species of the phylogenetically enigmatic kinetoplastid taxon Allobodonidae

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Kinetoplastids are a large and diverse protist group, spanning ecologically important free‐living forms to medically important parasites. The taxon Allobodonidae holds an unresolved position within kinetoplastids, and the sole described species, Allobodo chlorophagus, is uncultivated, being a necrotroph/parasite of macroalgae. Here we describe

Genome-wide mapping reveals single-origin chromosome replication in Leishmania, a eukaryotic microbe [PDF]

, 2015
Background DNA replication initiates on defined genome sites, termed origins. Origin usage appears to follow common rules in the eukaryotic organisms examined to date: all chromosomes are replicated from multiple origins, which display variations in ...

Cloning the Ribokinase of Kinetoplastidae: Leishmania Major [PDF]

, 2011
The kinetoplastidae are flagellated protozoans that are widely distributed in nature and cause diseases in both plants and vertebrates. They are distinguished by presence of kinetoplast, that is, the DNA-containing region in their single large mitochondrion.

Sand Fly Fauna and Prevalence of Leishmania spp. in a Newly Investigated Area of Northern Italy: Emerging Epidemiological Scenarios?

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Since the 1990s, cases of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum have risen in northern Italy due to dog translocation and movement as well as for climate‐driven sand fly population growth. In this geographical region, for a long time regarded as non‐endemic for CanL, L.

Metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiota of hooded cranes (Grus monacha) on the Izumi plain in Japan

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 1972-1984, December 2024.
We analyzed metagenomic sequencing data obtained from fecal samples of hooded cranes and wild ducks that winter on the Izumi Plain in Japan. Various organisms were identified in each sample, and their diversity differs between the crane and duck groups, suggesting that these two bird species may have distinct gut microbiota.

Hematozoan Parasites (Apicomplexa, Kinetoplastida) of Seven Arkansas Reptiles (Testudines, Ophidia) [PDF]

, 2016
Little is known concerning the hematozoan parasites of Arkansas reptiles. Although there are previous reports in the state of these intraerythrocytic parasites infecting various reptiles, additional research is sorely needed.

A sedimentary DNA perspective about the influence of environmental and food‐web changes on the microbial eukaryotic community of Lake Biwa

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1553-1567, November 2024.
Abstract The impacts of environmental change on Lake Biwa have been explored for decades, with water monitoring and palaeolimnological studies revealing how environmental forcing, including climate warming, eutrophication, water level manipulation and human manipulation of fish populations, has influenced the food web of Lake Biwa.

Molecular epidemiology of domestic and sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi infection in rural northwestern Argentina [PDF]

, 2008
Genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi populations and parasite transmission dynamics have been well documented throughout the Americas, but few studies have been conducted in the Gran Chaco ecoregion, one of the most highly endemic areas for Chagas ...

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...
