Discovery of Early-Branching Wolbachia Reveals Functional Enrichment on Horizontally Transferred Genes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Wolbachia is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and filarial nematodes that profoundly influences host biology. Wolbachia has also been reported in rhizosphere hosts, where its diversity and function remain poorly characterized.

The genome of the obligate intracellular parasite Trachipleistophora hominis : new insights into microsporidian genome dynamics and reductive evolution [PDF]

, 2012
The dynamics of reductive genome evolution for eukaryotes living inside other eukaryotic cells are poorly understood compared to well-studied model systems involving obligate intracellular bacteria.

Vector-borne parasites in dogs from Ukraine translocated to Poland following Russian invasion in 2022

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Introduction Since 24 February 2022, the day the Russian aggression against Ukraine began, millions of refugees and thousands of pets crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border. Additionally, an unknown number of shelter and stray dogs and cats were rescued and

The uptake of apoptotic T lymphocytes by parasite-hosting phagocytes contributes to the remodelling of the parasite-hosting tissue as a bona fide protective niche.

, 2014
Increased rates of T cell apoptosis occur during parasite infection, mediated either by death receptor– or mitochondria-dependent mechanisms. Upon clearance, these apoptotic cells induce an alternative state of activation in phagocytes associated with ...

Dendritic cell-mediated vaccination relies on interleukin-4 receptor signaling to avoid tissue damage after Leishmania major infection of BALB/c mice. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Prevention of tissue damages at the site of Leishmania major inoculation can be achieved if the BALB/c mice are systemically given L. major antigen (LmAg)-loaded bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) that had been exposed to CpG-containing ...

Fractionation of Mouse malarious blood according to parasite developmental stage, using a percoll-sorbitol gradient

, 2016
Asexual intraerythrocytic malarial parasites permeabilize the membrane of their host cell to small monelectrolytes and anions. Since permeabilization increases with parasite maturation, this property has been used previously to fractionate blood infected

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Surface of the filarial parasite Setaria digitata and the structural changes on treatment with Triton X-100

, 2011
Setaria digitata, a bovine filarial parasite is used as a laboratory model for filariasis. The studies showed that considerable amount of biochemically and immunologically active materials are present on the surface of the parasite.
