Vertebrate Natural History Notes from Arkansas, 2017 [PDF]
, 2017 Because meaningful observations of natural history are not always part of larger studies, important pieces of information often are unreported. Small details, however, can fills gaps in understanding and also lead to interesting questions about ...

Are all hosts created equal? Partitioning host species contributions to parasite persistence in multihost communities [PDF]
, 2015 Many parasites circulate endemically within communities of multiple host species. To understand disease persistence within these communities, it is essential to know the contribution each host species makes to parasite transmission and maintenance ...

The Toxoplasma gondii active serine hydrolase 4 regulates parasite division and intravacuolar parasite architecture [PDF]
, 2018 Hydrolase are enzymes that regulate diverse biological processes, including posttranslational protein modifications. Recent work identified four active serine hydrolases (ASHs) in Toxoplasma gondii as candidate depalmitoylases. However, only TgPPT1 (ASH1)

Critical Steps of Plasmodium falciparum Ookinete Maturation [PDF]
, 2020 The egress and fertilization of Plasmodium gametes and development of a motile ookinete are the first crucial steps that mediate the successful transmission of the malaria parasites from humans to the Anopheles vector. However, limited information exists

Metabolomics to unveil and understand phenotypic diversity between pathogen populations [PDF]
, 2010 Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite called Leishmania donovani, which every year infects about half a million people and claims several thousand lives. Existing treatments are now becoming less effective due to the emergence of drug resistance.

Microfluidics-based approaches to the isolation of African trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2017 African trypanosomes are responsible for significant levels of disease in both humans and animals. The protozoan parasites are free-living flagellates, usually transmitted by arthropod vectors, including the tsetse fly. In the mammalian host they live in
