A transcriptomic analysis of Echinococcus granulosus larval stages:implications for parasite biology and host adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The cestode Echinococcus granulosus--the agent of cystic echinococcosis, a zoonosis affecting humans and domestic animals worldwide--is an excellent model for the study of host-parasite cross-talk that interfaces with two mammalian hosts.

Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium: observational studies challenging accepted dogma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The development of in vitro culture systems that allow the maintenance, and support the development of Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium in the laboratory have had a significant impact on their biology and taxonomy and the epidemiology of ...

Thyroid hormone receptor orthologues from invertebrate species with emphasis on Schistosoma mansoni

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background: Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) function as molecular switches in response to thyroid hormone to regulate gene transcription. TRs were previously believed to be present only in chordates. Results: We isolated two TR genes from the Schistosoma

Identification and partial characterization of a novel serpin from Eudiplozoon nipponicum (Monogenea, Polyopisthocotylea)

open access: yesParasite, 2018
Background: Serpins are a superfamily of serine peptidase inhibitors that participate in the regulation of many physiological and cell peptidase-mediated processes in all organisms (e.g.

Trematode diversity reflecting the community structure of Danish freshwater systems: molecular clues

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Digenean trematodes are parasitic platyhelminths that use several hosts in their life cycles and are thereby embedded in various ecosystems affected by local environmental conditions.

Microbial Metazoa Are Microbes Too

open access: yesmSystems, 2019
Microbial metazoa inhabit a certain “Goldilocks zone,” where conditions are just right for the continued ignorance of these taxa. These microscopic animal species have body sizes of

Flatworms have lost the right open reading frame kinase 3 gene during evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
All multicellular organisms studied to date have three right open reading frame kinase genes (designated riok-1, riok-2 and riok-3). Current evidence indicates that riok-1 and riok-2 have essential roles in ribosome biosynthesis, and that the riok-3 gene

Mixed infections and hybridisation in monogenean parasites. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Theory predicts that sexual reproduction promotes disease invasion by increasing the evolutionary potential of the parasite, whereas asexual reproduction tends to enhance establishment success and population growth rate.
