Functional characterization and structure-guided mutational analysis of the transsulfuration enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase from toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
, 2018 Sulfur-containing amino acids play essential roles in many organisms. The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii includes the genes for cystathionine β-synthase and cystathionine γ-lyase (TgCGL), as well as for cysteine synthase, which are crucial enzymes ...

Manipulation of host and parasite microbiotas: Survival strategies during chronic nematode infection
Science Advances, 2018 Intestinal parasite selects for its own intestinal microbiota from the host and modifies the host’s microbiota. Intestinal dwelling parasites have evolved closely with the complex intestinal microbiota of their host, but the significance of the host ...

Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Denmark
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019 Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide importance. In this study, we estimated T. gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars in Denmark, where little is known about T. gondii in animal hosts.

The Influence of Parasite Infections on Host Immunity to Co-infection With Other Pathogens
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Parasites have evolved a wide range of mechanisms that they use to evade or manipulate the host's immune response and establish infection. The majority of the in vivo studies that have investigated these host-parasite interactions have been undertaken in

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.

Host and parasite morphology influence congruence between host and parasite phylogenies
International Journal for Parasitology, 2018 Comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies often show varying degrees of phylogenetic congruence. However, few studies have rigorously explored the factors driving this variation. Multiple factors such as host or parasite morphology may govern the degree of phylogenetic congruence.
