BCKDH: the missing link in apicomplexan mitochondrial metabolism is required for full virulence of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei [PDF]

, 2014
While the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are thought to primarily depend on glycolysis for ATP synthesis, recent studies have shown that they can fully catabolize glucose in a canonical TCA cycle.

Is Toxoplasma gondii‐secreted Protein With an Altered Thrombospondin Repeat (TgSPATR) a Potential Candidate for Immunisation? An Immunoinformatics‐Based Analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Toxoplasma gondii‐secreted protein with an altered thrombospondin repeat was computationally characterised as an immunogenic, non‐allergenic protein carrying multiple B‐ and T‐cell epitopes. Structural validation and immune simulation suggest its strong potential as a vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis.

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.

Impact of artemether–lumefantrine treatment, circadian rhythm, and serum replacement on the infectiousness of wild Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes to Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto mosquitoes

Frontiers in Malaria
BackgroundIn the era of asymptomatic gametocytemia, carriers are scarce but serve as key reservoirs for Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Transmission-blocking interventions (TBIs) are gaining attention, considering factors such as artemether ...

Toxoplasma effectors targeting host signaling and transcription [PDF]

, 2017
Early electron microscopy studies revealed the elaborate cellular features that define the unique adaptations of apicomplexan parasites. Among these were bulbous rhoptry (ROP) organelles and small, dense granules (GRAs), both of which are secreted during

Molecular detection of Toxoplasma gondii in ready-to-eat salad mixes: multi-country survey using a validated and harmonised standard operating procedure, Europe, 2021 to 2022

Eurosurveillance
Background Most Toxoplasma gondii infections in humans are considered foodborne, but the relative importance of the various routes of infection is largely unknown. Consumption of green produce contaminated with T.

Evaluation of litter material and ventilation systems in poultry production: III. litter reuse, darkling beetle populations and intestinal parasites Avaliação de materiais de cama e sistemas de ventilação na criação de aves: III. reutilização, população de cascudinho e parasitos intestinais

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2011
It was evaluated the quality of rice husks or soybean straw as litter substrate and the effect of litter reuse for four consecutive flocks of broiler chickens on populations of darkling beetle and intestinal parasite and as organic fertilizer.

Effects of drinking-water filtration on Cryptosporidium Seroepidemiology, Scotland [PDF]

, 2014
Continuous exposure to low levels of Cryptosporidium oocysts is associated with production of protective antibodies. We investigated prevalence of antibodies against the 27-kDa Cryptosporidium oocyst antigen among blood donors in 2 areas of Scotland ...

Evaluation of autofluorescent Eimeria maxima oocysts as a potential indicator of non-viability when enumerating oocysts

Poultry Science, 2018
Aging, poor oxygenation, or improper storage temperature can lead to variable Eimeria oocyst viability, which is not readily assessed microscopically. Under fluorescent microscopy, some aged Eimeria maxima (EM) oocysts were strongly autofluorescent (AF) within the oocystoplasm and sporocysts, whereas others were distinctly non-fluorescent, leading to ...
