Genotyping and drug susceptibility profiling of Prototheca sp. strains isolated from cases of protothecosis in dogs. [PDF]

J Vet Intern Med
Abstract Background Protothecosis in dogs is a rare, yet emerging disease, distinguished by its often‐aggressive clinical course and high fatality rate. Our study was conducted to enhance treatment protocols for affected dogs by better understanding the genetic diversity and drug resistance patterns of Prototheca species. Objectives To identify species

Occurrence of Prototheca Microalgae in Aquatic Ecosystems with a Description of Three New Species, Prototheca fontanea, Prototheca lentecrescens, and Prototheca vistulensis

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2022
The study investigates the occurrence of very rare and poorly studied microalgae of the genus Prototheca , potentially pathogenic to humans and animals, in different water environments. Given the potential hazard to human and animal health from exposure to water-inhabiting protothecae, the prevalence of the algae in

Sequencing and Analysis of the Complete Organellar Genomes of Prototheca wickerhamii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Of the Prototheca genus, Protothecawickerhamii has the highest clinical significance in humans. However, neither nuclear nor organellar genomes of this species were sequenced until now.

High Prevalence of Prototheca bovis Infection in Dairy Cattle with Chronic Mastitis in Ecuador

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
The genus Prototheca, a unicellular, non-photosynthetic, yeast-like microalgae, is a pathogen of concern for the dairy industry. It causes bovine mastitis that currently cannot be cured, and hence generates significant economic losses in milk production.

Streptococcus agalactiae and Prototheca spp. induce different mammary gland leukocyte responses in Holstein cows

JDS Communications, 2022
In this study, we investigated the association between natural subclinical intramammary infection (IMI) caused by Streptococcus agalactiae and Prototheca spp. and milk differential cell counts assessed by cytofluorimetric analysis in Holstein cows. After

Prototheca-ID: a web-based application for molecular identification of Prototheca species [PDF]

Database, 2021
Abstract The genus Prototheca houses unicellular, achlorophyllous, yeast-like algae, widely distributed in the environment. Protothecae are the only known plants that have repeatedly been reported to infect vertebrates, including humans.

Antimicrobial activities of polyhexamethylene biguanide against biofilm-producing Prototheca bovis causing bovine mastitis

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Prototheca spp. is a frequent cause of bovine mastitis and is highly resistant to commonly used disinfectants. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate the antimicrobial activity of polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) against mastitis-causing Prototheca spp ...

Mitochondrial Molecular Adaptations and Life History Strategies Coevolve in Plants [PDF]

, 2008
Messenger RNA secondary structure prevents mutations at functionally important sites. Mutations at exposed sites would cause micro-adaptations, niche-specialization, and therefore, can be thought to promote K-strategists. Exposing, rather than protecting,

Disseminated chlorellosis in a dog [PDF]

, 2009
An adult dog with ataxia and a lingual mass, previously diagnosed as protothecosis, was euthanized. At the postmortem examination, the lingual mass, regions of the lungs and hilar lymph nodes, liver, mesenteric and sublumbar lymph nodes, and spinal ...
