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 ...

Dogs as sources and sentinels of parasites in humans and wildlife, northern Canada [PDF]
, 2008 A minimum of 11 genera of parasites, including 7 known or suspected to cause zoonoses, were detected in dogs in 2 northern Canadian communities. Dogs in remote settlements receive minimal veterinary care and may serve as sources and sentinels for ...

Detection of enteric parasite DNA in household and bed dust samples: potential for infection transmission. [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND: Enteric parasites are transmitted in households but few studies have sampled inside households for parasites and none have used sensitive molecular methods.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACT Parasites are an important cause of human disease worldwide. The clinical severity and outcome of parasitic disease is often dependent on the immune status of the host. Specific parasitic diseases discussed in this chapter are amebiasis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, cystoisosporiasis, microsporidosis, granulomatous ...

microRNAs in parasites and parasite infection [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2013 miRNAs, a subclass of small regulatory RNAs, are present from ancient unicellular protozoans to parasitic helminths and parasitic arthropods. The miRNA-silencing mechanism appears, however, to be absent in a number of protozoan parasites. Protozoan miRNAs and components of their silencing machinery possess features different from other eukaryotes ...

Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]
, 2017 Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

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)
