Shedding light on the expansion and diversification of the Cdc48 protein family during the rise of the eukaryotic cell. [PDF]
A defining feature of eukaryotic cells is the presence of various distinct membrane-bound compartments with different metabolic roles. Material exchange between most compartments occurs via a sophisticated vesicle trafficking system.

ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

ABSTRACT Bumble bee (Bombus Latreille) populations of certain species have declined precipitously in North America over several decades. Hypotheses for declines include exposure to the pathogen Nosema bombi and neonicotinoid pesticides. Importantly, populations of some bumble bee species remain stable despite their presumed exposure to these same ...

Fungal evolution: diversity, taxonomy and phylogeny of the Fungi
ABSTRACT The fungal kingdom comprises a hyperdiverse clade of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the presence of a chitinous cell wall, the loss of phagotrophic capabilities and cell organizations that range from completely unicellular monopolar organisms to highly complex syncitial filaments that may form macroscopic structures.

SNUGB: a versatile genome browser supporting comparative and functional fungal genomics [PDF]
Background Since the full genome sequences of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were released in 1996, genome sequences of over 90 fungal species have become publicly available.

Thermal biology of mosquito‐borne disease
Abstract Mosquito‐borne diseases cause a major burden of disease worldwide. The vital rates of these ectothermic vectors and parasites respond strongly and nonlinearly to temperature and therefore to climate change. Here, we review how trait‐based approaches can synthesise and mechanistically predict the temperature dependence of transmission across ...

ABSTRACT Microsporidia are emerging opportunistic pathogens in immunosuppressed individuals, including solid organ transplant recipients. We present a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) caused by Microsporidia infection in a 55‐year‐old male who underwent combined liver–kidney transplantation (CLKT) for metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease ...

Revisions to the Classification, Nomenclature, and Diversity of Eukaryotes
Abstract This revision of the classification of eukaryotes follows that of Adl et al., 2012 [J. Euk. Microbiol. 59(5)] and retains an emphasis on protists. Changes since have improved the resolution of many nodes in phylogenetic analyses. For some clades even families are being clearly resolved.

Genomic survey of the non-cultivatable opportunistic human pathogen, Enterocytozoon bieneusi.
Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most common microsporidian associated with human disease, particularly in the immunocompromised population. In the setting of HIV infection, it is associated with diarrhea and wasting syndrome.

Abstract Background: The discovery of the Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB in An. arabiensis and the subsequent demonstration that it blocks malaria transmission, undergoes vertical and horizontal transmission suggests that it is a promising candidate for developing a symbiont-based malaria transmission-blocking strategy.
