Stool Microbiota Diversity Analysis of Blastocystis-Positive and Blastocystis-Negative Individuals

Microorganisms, 2022
Blastocystis is a unicellular eukaryote found in the gastrointestinal tract of both human and other animal hosts. The clinical significance of colonic Blastocystis colonization remains obscure.

Complex coevolutionary history of symbiotic Bacteroidales bacteria of various protists in the gut of termites

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background The microbial community in the gut of termites is responsible for the efficient decomposition of recalcitrant lignocellulose. Prominent features of this community are its complexity and the associations of prokaryotes with the cells of ...

High Variation in Protist Diversity and Community Composition in Surface Sediment of Hot Springs in Himalayan Geothermal Belt, China

Microorganisms, 2023
Hot springs are some of the most special environments on Earth. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes have been found to live in this environment. The Himalayan geothermal belt (HGB) has numerous hot springs spread across the area.

Gardiquimod Nanoemulsion Targets Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Reducing Systemic Toxicity and Parasite Burden

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion delivery of a TLR7 agonist enhances safety and promotes colocalization with Leishmania‐infected macrophages in skin lesions, enabling a ∼2‐log reduction in parasite burden. However, tissue‐level constraints and TLR‐driven regulatory feedback generate a mixed immune response that limits complete parasite clearance.
